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
