The B.Tech placements at IIST - Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology are generally considered very good. Nearly all students who get a CGPA of more than 7.5 are accepted straight into one of ISRO's (Indian Space Research Organisation) several centres.For high-achieving pupils, this suggests a placement rate of almost 100%.The institute maintains a strong placement record even for students with lower CGPAs or those who choose non-ISRO placements, with over 40% of students getting placed in reputable firms.High salary potential was demonstrated by the fact that in 2023 the highest package offered to B.Tech and dual degree students was INR 16.60 LPA and INR 13.20 LPA, respectively.Although good, the average package may not be as high as that of other top institutions in many fields.

 With a score of 280 in JEE Mains, you have a good chance of getting admission to top NITs (National Institutes of Technology) such as NIT Warangal, NIT Trichy, and NIT Surathkal for B.Tech. However, admission to IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology) is highly competitive, and the cutoff ranks may vary each year. It is recommended to check the official website of IIST for the most accurate information on admission criteria and cutoff ranks.The JEE Main marks vs. percentile vs. rank data can provide a general idea of the expected rank based on the marks scored. According to the data, candidates are required to score above 250 marks to obtain a percentile of more than 90, which can be helpful in understanding the expected rank based on the marks obtained.For admission to IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) for B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), candidates typically need to score 280-300+ in JEE Advanced. The cutoff ranks for CSE in the top IITs are usually under 250. It's important to note that admission criteria and cutoff ranks can vary each year, so it's advisable to refer to the official websites of the respective institutes for the most current information.
