Is IIST better than IIT'S in aerospace engineering
IITs are well established and top universities in India. IIST was established recently so it doesn't have the advantage of time.
IIST has the best resources to teach a student and can develop their character to several folds. However due to the recent establishment of university, the placement record is not well when compared to the IITs.
So when comparing in resources and infrastructure, both are outstanding. However IIST lacks behind IITs in terms of placements.
