Hello,

No one can say the precise marks or even a range because total marks, pattern, and difficulty vary from year to year.

In the general category, 112 marks ( 28.28 percent) out of 396 were the closing marks for the year 2020. However, depending on the complexity of the paper and the number of students that applied for IIST, these marks will fluctuate from year to year. In terms of rank, you should aim for a position below 10,000 right now.

If your jee advance rank is less than 8000, you will almost certainly be given a seat. This year's rank dropped to 9500, presumably because many seats were left unfilled after the final round, and they had to undertake spot round admittance.

Hope it helped

Thank you

Hey Muraharirao..

IIST is a well-known and respected institution. It is, in fact, comparable to IIT. IIST's placements are exceptional. The majority of students are placed from there. The compensation scale is also excellent. You should be able to get a job there for at least 3 lakh per year. As a result, pursuing a bachelor's degree from IIST is the ideal option for you.

As a scientific engineer-SC, an IIST graduate will be hired. For this post under the 7CPC, the starting remuneration is currently Rs. 56100 basic + HRA+DA +TA.

I hope it helps.

Regards

Hello

Not much difference. The B. Tech courses offered by IIST , the curriculum is similar to that of IIT.

if you are strong passionate about avionics, space, aerospace Engineering. and in future have any idea of pursing higher studies then go for IIST

But if you don't have any specific interest , any highly concise about placements then to be in safer side select IIT .

Hope this Helps

ALL THE BEST!

IIST Thiruvananthapuram and IISc. Bangalore are the two top institutes of India for space research. In order to get admission in these institutes through JEE advanced you need a very good score because their cutoff are very high.

For aerospace engineering in IIST the cut off for general category in JEE advance 2020 was 29.80 % of total marks and in 2019 it was 34.14% .

For aerospace engineering in IISc the cut off in JEE advance 2020 for general category was under AIR 250 .


Hi,

IIST offers b.tech in engineering physics which is a 4 years course, it doesn't offer b.sc in physics.

It offers courses under :-

B.E/B.tech (total 4 courses, 4-5 years and Entrance Exam required is JEE advanced. )

M.E/ M.tech (total 15 courses, 2-5 years and Entrance Exam required is GATE,JEE advanced. )

Phd (1 course, 5 years, no such entrance exam required.)

Dear student,
Since the total marks of jee advanced keep on changing each year therefore I will mention the percentage of marks to be scored in jee advanced to get admission in iist. For general category it is 20%, for obc it is 18% and for sc/st/pwd it is 10%. Although a student needs to score some minimum marks in physics, chemistry and maths individually. For general it is 5% in each of them, for obc 4.5% and for sc/st/pwd it is 2.5%
