Hello,

IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology) in Bangalore is a great option if you're interested in space science, aerospace engineering, or related fields. It is a reputed institute, especially for students aiming to work in the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

However, if you're not specifically interested in these areas, you may want to consider other institutes as well. But, if you're passionate about space and aerospace, IIST is a good choice after JEE Main and Advanced.

Hope it helps !
