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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Around 40% of students got placed. The highest package goes around 10 LPA, the lowest package goes around 2 LPA, and the average package is around 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Mercedes Benz, BYJU's, Tata etc. There are no extracurricular activities.

Placements: Very few companies or none of the companies visit here for placements. Placements are provided only in ISRO for students who get a 7.5 CGPA. But suppose if 50 students have 7.5 CGPA, and there are 35 vacancies in ISRO, then only the top 35 students will get selected. So, good rank is also important. Generally, about 50% of the students got placed from here. Our college is working on the placement cell.

Placements: Most of the placements in our college are from ISRO as ISRO scientists. This depends on the cumulative GPA of a student in all 8 semesters in four years of the college course. Private company placements are less and more than 50% of the students go to ISRO.

Most of the student doing their internship in ISRO center (30%) and college (60%)itself but few student go to abroad (10%) also.

Placements: You will directly get placed in ISRO if you get above 7.5 CGPA. But, the number of seats for placements are limited (last year, it was 25 per branch). If you don't want the placements, then you can opt for getting into ISRO by paying 6 Lacs. The salary offered is around 60k per month, it is not the main headquarters of ISRO, but other sub-branches of it. Those students who don't get 7.5 CGPA are not eligible for placements.

Placements: Most of the students are absorbed by ISRO. All the students who are above 7.5 CGPA are eligible for the job, but the placements is done based on the availability of jobs in different ISRO centres across the country. Mostly internships are done in the college itself as students can explore the area in which they are interested. But, there are many other students who go to internships outside the college into institutions like IITs, IISc, universities of different countries like US, Canada, Denmar...

Placements: In general, all the students who score a GPA of 7.5 or higher have been placed in Department of Space (DoS) throughout India until last year.

Placements: Until last year, the candidates who secured CGPA >=7.5 were directly absorbed by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). But for the students who joined in and after 2013, they will be given a job in ISRO based the number of vacancies. These will be posted as a scientist/engineer grade 'c' in ten ISRO centers which were in different places all over India. This is the first time people are facing problems for the jobs. The placement cell in the college is student friendly and is very passive. ...

Placements: The students scoring more than 7.5 CGPA are absorbed in ISRO as a scientist C with a government pay scale. A placement cell(not much alive) is there for the students scoring below 7.5 CGPA. Internships and projects are done either in different ISRO centres or in the college itself. The students can also apply in different public and private sector companies for doing so.
