IIST Trivandrum Reviews on Placements, Faculty & Facilities ,Thiruvananthapuram

Placements: The highest salary package offered in the avionics course in 2024 is 23 LPA. The highest salary package offered in the aerospace course is 13 LPA. The average salary package offered in the avionics course is 13 LPA. The average salary package offered in the aerospace course is around 6 LPA - 8 LPA. I don't know much about engineering and physics. I don't think it has much scope from here. If students are coming here, come only for knowledge, not to seek jobs.

Placements: The placements are mostly directly to ISRO, all students with a CGPA above 7.5 are placed in ISRO, other companies include space startups such as agnikool, SkyRoot, etc. Approximately 80–90% of students get placed, while many choose to go for higher studies.

Placements: The recruitment drive is not that strong, and mostly off-campus students get placed. The highest package offered was 10 lakhs per annum, and the lowest was 3 lakhs. However, there are good internship opportunities related to projects that students get, and generally research-related roles are offered.

Placements: The placements of IIST are amazing; the students get placed in ISRO; some of our alumni are working in NASA/JPL also. Apart from ISRO, the placement is dismal, and generally 60% get placed in ISRO. Other than that, some other companies like MathWorks, Texas Instruments, Accenture, Infosys, etc. do come. The average package is around 10 LPA.

Placements: Just the previous year, I started my college journey. Undoubtedly, the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology offers huge placement opportunities. For instance, in 2023, they had a 97% placement rate. Top companies like TCS, Siemens, and Persistent hire our college students.

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.

Placements: There will be no partiality among students during placements. Everyone asked to attend the same coaching for placements. Depending on our performance, students got placed at various companies in our campus drives. Our alumni got placed in companies like Oracle, KPIT, Reliance, and EY.

Placements: The average package is around 15 LPA. Top companies include ISRO, Mercedes Benz, etc. All students must complete a compulsory internship in their third year. There are opportunities to go abroad for internships, with all expenses funded by the college. Top roles include grade A scientist, etc.

Placements: In recent years, the majority of students were placed at ISRO but now the 2025 batch does not have a bond with ISRO and we are not sure of the number of companies that would come for placements from our campus. The advantage is that we do not have to submit a paper with ISRO conduct to get a job there.

Placements: The 2020 batch of IIST has a bond signed with ISRO, so all the students whose CGPA > 7.5 have been given placement opportunities at ISRO, with packages varying from 8-12 LPA. In earlier years, the main recruiter was the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), but now, in Aerospace, many new space startups have provided placement opportunities. In the 6th semester of the course curriculum, a mandatory internship must be completed. So, most students in their 3rd year have opportunities for inte...

Placements: Till now, most students who were placed in ISRO had a CGPA above 7.5. From 2021 onwards, ISRO's bond has been suspended, so it is expected that other recruiters will visit the campus. For ISRO recruitment, students don't need to write ICRB like students from other colleges, but they do need to pass an interview.

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.

Placements: In this college till my batch, you would get directly absorbed by ISRO if your CGPA is above 7.5 on a scale of 10. But other than that the placement situation is not as good as some IITs. From the Next batch onwards there is no direct absorption in ISRO so our placement cell is trying to get better placement for the students. Top companies include Accenture and TCS. There are also some renowned start-ups like AgniKul which is operated by IIST alumni and you can get a package of around 8-10 LPA t...

Placements: Our college offers multiple placements to its students. Around 50–60% of the students get placed in our course at this college. The average package offered here at this college was between 4 and 7 LPAs. Top recruiters in the college were Infosys, Teach Mahindra, Wipro, Philips, etc.

Placements: 85% of the students have been placed. Due to the limited number of students at IIST, all of them have excellent placement opportunities. If you have a CGPA of 7.5 or above, you have the chance to be recruited by prestigious companies such as ISRO, Bosch, Benz Mahindra, Tata, and more.

Placements: As a freshers, I've noticed that a majority of the upperclassmen have already joined ISRO due to their contractual obligations. However, various IT and mechanical companies still visit our college for recruitment. Although the bond system no longer exists, this institution provides an excellent opportunity to enter the space industry, as evidenced by our seniors who have pursued entrepreneurship and offer valuable guidance to us students.

Placements: Our institution is managed by the Department of Space, Government of India. IIST has a direct collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Most of the graduates get placed as scientists or engineers in various ISRO centers. Along with that, many space companies and startups offer jobs to the students of IIST.

Placements: Till the admission batch of 2020, there was a bond, so around 95-100 students go directly to ISRO, while others mostly join private firms. Major private firms include Skyroot Aerospace and Agnikul Aerospace. Most students receive around 10.5 LPA in private firms, and a minimum of 7 LPA is guaranteed.

Placements: All students with a CGPA above 7.5 are placed. ISRO directly hires candidates who meet the 7.5 CGPA criterion and pass the interview. The highest CTC is LPA 16.6 in AVIONICS and LPA 13.2 in AEROSPACE. Recruiters include Tata SERVICES, MAHINDRA LTD, MERCEDES BENZ, etc.

Placements: Until 2020 batch there used to be a 3 year agreement on placement in ISRO centers. From 2021 it's revoked. So now college is seriously trying to get placement opportunities to our campus. They are also trying to provide mock placement exams and other stuff.
