The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technologyoffers admission only on the basis of Jee Advanced. It doesn't consider scores of Jee Main. In order to get into IIST, you need to fetch good rank in Jee Advanced. IIST will release the application on September 27 for admission to B.Tech programmes 2020 through Jee Advanced and the last date to fill the application is October 7. IIST will release the rank list based on the applications. You can read our article http://engineering.careers360.com/articles/iist-btech-admission
The Minimum criteria to be eligible for Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology is that qualifying Jee Main with at least 20% marks in aggregate and 5% marks individually in all three subjects i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
