MBBS/BDS at SRU : Entrance on June 2
Indian Institute of Space Science Technology, an autonomous body under the Department of Space and set up with the primary objective of generating high quality human resources to meet the requirements of Department of Space (DOS) /Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and located at Valiamalai, Thiruvananthapuram, has announced the admission to the B Tech Programmes offered at the Institute.
The three B.Tech Programmes offered at the Institute are in Aerospace Engineering (60 seats), Avionics (60 seats) and Physical Sciences (36 seats). Applicant should be Indian citizens. Applicant belonging to GEN and OBC (NCL) categories should have been born on or after October 1, 1988 while those belonging to SC, ST and PD categories should have been born on or after October 1, 1983.
Applicant should qualify in the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main)–2013 conducted by CBSE, to appear for the IIT-JEE(Advanced)-2013 and score the prescribed minimum category-wise marks in JEE(Advanced)-2013 to be eligible for admission to the IIST.
The minimum prescribed marks in JEE Advanced for General Candidatesis 5% marks in each of the three subjects, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and 20% marks in aggregate. OBC (NCL) Candidates should score at least 90% of the marks prescribed for General Candidates while SC, ST & PD Candidates have to score at least 50% ofthe marks prescribed for General Candidates for JEE(Advanced)-2013.
The marks secured by the candidate in JEE(Advanced)-2013 examination will be used only for deciding his/her eligibility for admission, and will not be considered for preparing the rank list for admission to IIST.

B.Tech. Programme in Aerospace Engineering,is a programme oriented towards the needs of space technology and has significant overlap with Mechanical Engineering including Mechanical Design, Manufacturing Sciences and Space Dynamics. Those with B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering can further specialize in Flight Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Thermal and Propulsion, Structure and Design, and Manufacturing Science.
B.Tech. (Avionics) Degree programme comprises of subjects of study in Electronics and Communications Engineering programmes, in addition to study of Advanced Electronics in Digital Communication, Control Systems and Computer Systems used in Aerospace Systems. Those with B.Tech Degree in Avionics can later specialize in areas like DSP, RF & Communication, Antenna, Power Electronics, Micro Electronics, Control Systems etc.
B.Tech (Physical Sciences) is a 4-year Programme oriented towards application of basic sciences in Space Science and Technology. The programme lays a strong foundation in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, and gives exposure to important applications of space technology such as Remote Sensing and GIS, Astronomy and Astrophysics and Earth System Sciences. People with B.Tech Degree in Physical Sciences can later specialize in areas like Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences, Solid Earth Science, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Remote Sensing & GIS, and Chemical Systems.
More details of the Programmes can be had fromhttp://www.iist.ac.in/admission/under-graduate. Those selected to the Programmes will be eligible for Assistantship. The full assistantship per semester for tuition fees, hostel accommodation and boarding etc will be borne by the IIST for each student subject to his/her meeting the performance standards set up by IIST from time to time.
