IIST - Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology Thiruvananthapuram Answered Questions

None of them answered your question correct. So, at first about the placement: No IIT's have got 100% placement but only those opt for campus placement which is around 60%-70% of the total eligible candidates. So, you can't be placed if you don't opt. So, I don't see a problem in placement in IIT here. So, don't believe those misinterpreted placement statistics in your newspaper. (Note: My words are coming from the official placement data published by IIT Bombay.)
Now, about IIT or IIST. You should go to IIT, if you wish to continue your study and do M.Tech or Ph.D, as when you apply for higher studies the IIT name will give you an edge all over the world. I know that IIT's don't have good ranking on those lists but trust me people know and admire them. Now, if you want to do job after B.Tech then IIST is better as you get a job in ISRO/DRDO directly but bear in mind that only those who score best in all 8 semesters will get a job with more than I7.5 GPA in each semester, which means that just getting more that 7.5 GPA won't ensure you that job, and if you score less than 7.5 GPA you are not eligible. Hope it helps and that I cleared all the doubts and wrong answers which were given. If not then ask your question in comment section. And best of luck for your future.

Hi Sandhra,

This means that they must have born after 1st October 1988 (Upper Age Limit 29 Years) to appear in the exam.

Well, all these are top institutions for engineering and other research courses. But if you want to choose one of them, then it should be depending on your interest. You need to choose the branch as per your interest and the one that will make you more comfortable to achieve your future goal.
If the field doesn't matter, then go for Aerospace Engineering from IIST from where your chances to go in ISRO would be increased.
All the best.

Hello Hermione, Always remember"Failure is never final". You can always get better by hard work. It's nice to see your aim of getting into IIST at Trivendrum. Eligibility for this is JEE Advanced and for that one needs 75% marks in 12th. However there are plenty of other good colleges with this branch. I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information about these colleges. Remove IIT's and have a look at other options. https://www.shiksha.com/b-tech/ranking/top-aeronautical-engineering-colleges-in-india/49-2-0-0-0.
