Absolutely satisfied if you like the subject with really good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: Mainly, ISRO offers placements until 2024. After the bond between college and ISRO reached its peak, it fell down. Now this is the first year of placements after the bond reached its peak; as of now, only 34 were selected out of 62 in ISRO, and others were placed in other startups ranging from 8-38 LPA.
Infrastructure: College is one of the best in student-faculty ratio at 7:1 and the space lab constitutes students to do projects with the guidance of professors without any restriction of CGPA scored. The hostels are spacious enough for one and the food is obviously like any college food that will be average .
Faculty: Obviously helpful courses were taught in the course curriculum as real-life experience projects were also given under assignments and as a premium institute, semester exams are tough because it requires the accuracy in this field of work. The pass percentage is quite a bit low .
Other: We have a technical fest, concsentia and a cultural fest, Dhanak, to showcase talent beyond studies and I chose this course because of my love towards ISRO.

Best placements for 2025 .
Placements: ISRO recruits most of the students, and all others are recruited by top companies like Texas Instruments, etc. Along with that, many startups come here. The highest package of the passing out batch of 2025 is about 38 LPA. There are many startups from the college that are offering jobs to students.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi service is available in all hostels with centralized AC classrooms. There are various sports facilities like badminton, cricket, football, squash, table tennis, chess, carrom, basketball, volleyball, etc. available. There is also a gym with various equipment.
Faculty: All professors are excellent, and their way of teaching is amazing. All the professors are Ph.D. holders and are from different IITs and IISc. Along with that, the teaching assistants are very good as they help you in every possible way with labs and courses.
Other: For aerospace engineering, this is an excellent college as you will get various opportunities for learning about it and doing research.

It is a good college in terms of education.
Placements: About 80% of students got placed in the last year's batch. A few students choose to study further. The main recruiter is ISRO, so there are no highest package criteria. Along with ISRO, there are a few other companies like Skyroot and Agnikul Cosmos. Everyone got internship offers in ISRO and a few other companies and institutions.
Infrastructure: Apart from sports facilities, all facilities are available like labs, classrooms, a library, etc. The hostel facilities are good. The quality of the food is good. The taste is not good. I don't know what the staff says. It's South Indian food. I am a South Indian but I don't like the food. Medical facilities are good. There is only one small canteen in the entire campus. It is open only from 8 AM - 11 PM. It is difficult to find a canteen facility during exam time, so we need a night canteen.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and exams conducted by them also little challenging.Frome 2024 they made few changes is curriculum..they kept few credits for extra curricular activities it's good thing for future students.academics wise no complaint. IIST Is mainly focused on academics so study wise no problem
Other: Since my childhood, I wanted to be a scientist, so I chose this course. The easiest way to join ISRO is IIST, so I opted for this college. Sports facilities are good. The crowd in our college is very small. Due to less crowd, a few problems arise during college fests and events. Our college is far from the city. We have to depend on KSRTC. The connectivity is the main issue. Extracurricular activities are not supported by our college management. I am from a dance club IIST. There is no support from the management. We ask for permission for everything that we require.

IIST - Unique or just another IIT?
Placements: One of the main reasons students select this college, other than research, is ISRO placements. Every year, more than 60% of students in the whole batch get placed in ISRO if they meet the requirement of a 7.5 CGPA till the 8th semester. The ISRO interview is generally taken during the 6th semester, in which students must have a CGPA of 7 on a scale of 10. Other than ISRO, other core and non-core companies also visit.
Infrastructure: Since the college started in 2007, hostels have been pretty new and always clean. Since it's not a very populated college, you will always find it calm and peaceful here. In the first year, one has to share a room with 2 other batchmates, which turns into 2 people per room from the 2nd year onwards.
Faculty: Faculty members are good, except for some. They are well-qualified and often explain the subjects well. The curriculum is not difficult but not easy either. You will be grinded for the whole semester with assignments, quizzes, labs, and practicals. Now, quizzes have changed to mid-sems, but still, it's not that easy. Exams are of moderate level, and it's relatively graded.
Other: The only reason I chose this course was because of Aerospace and ISRO.

It's a good college if you really want to study, and campus life is also good .
Placements: Actually, we aren't sure about the placement because the ISRO bond has been removed so the placement thing will be masked starting next year without the ISRO bond. The college has an average package of 10 lacs. You can get internships from many companies inside and outside India in the space sector.
Infrastructure: Yes, the infrastructure is good, and the college is growing and modifying the infrastructure; they are making new hostels, cricket stadiums, swimming pools, etc. And it's a kind of green campus; you will find trees and grasses all around the college with the protection of CIF.
Faculty: They are good, all the teachers are highly qualified and they just do an amazing job. The difficulty of the semester exam varies from moderate to hard so if you want to pass the exam, you have to study. You can't take it lightly and constantly perform well for a good CGPA.
Other: It's the best college for the aerospace engineering. Events and fests all are average.
