Hi. My name is M.Aiswarya Lakshmi. Now I am 11th(mpc). I want to become space scientist in ISRO. Please suggest me the step by step method to become space scientist with engineering field. . Aerospace engineering colleges and their entrance exams.

There are various levels at which you can join ISRO and at various designations.

After 12th: You can get into IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology) for their Undergraduate programmes. The admission is based on JEE Advanced scores. Which means you need to have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 10+2. You can pick any of their 4 year Bachelor programmes like B.Tech in Physical Sciences, B.Tech in Avionics and B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering, etc. Or you can also pick up their 5 year Integrated courses in Master of Science in Astronomy and AstroPhysics, Master of Technology in Earth System Science, Master of Science in Solid State Physics and Master of Science in Optical Engineering, etc.

Opportunities are amazing for academically brilliant candidates. With a CGPA of 7.5 or higher, subject to the availability of vacancies, you get placed in ISRO. Aero and Avio graduates have better prospects even outside ISRO.

After B.Tech: IIST also offers Postgraduate Programmes like:

M.Tech in Soft Computing & Machine Learning
M.Tech in RF & Microwave Engineering
M.Tech in Geo informatics
M.Tech in Optical Engineering
M.Tech in Machine Learning & Computing
M.Tech in Solid State Technology
M.Tech in VLSI & Microsystems
M.Tech in Materials Science & Technology, etc.

Opportunities depend upon ISRO Placements conducted by centralised recruitment committee.

Greetings, aspirant!

In order to join ISRO, the best path one can choose is through IIST or Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. In order to get admission into IIST, one needs to appear for the JEE examinations and admissions are granted on the scores of JEE Advance. The eligibility criteria states that the candidate must have physics, chemistry and math as their core subjects in 10+2.

IIST offers various bachelor's courses such as B.Tech Avionics or Aerospace Engineering. You can also opt for an bachelor's + master's Integrated course of 5 years.

Once you've finished your master's, depending on vacancies, you can apply and land a job in the ISRO. However, even outside of ISRO, you have many opportunities.

Hope this information helps

Best of luck!!
