Rank wise in the opening 206 in the closing 318.

Under this OBC NCL category to take admission in IST Indian institute of science and technology iits through JEE advanced score candidate should have the rank at least 318 for admission.

Hello,

If you have passion for aeronautics and fascination for space then IIST is the right place for you. IIST is one of the reputed college in all over India, it became so much popular within short period as compare to other college due to their Lab, placement, education and other facilities.

IIST has only two branch:

  • B. Tech in Aerospace Engineering
  • B. Tech in Electronics and communication Engiennering(Avionics)
  • 5 year Dual Degree (B. Tech + Master of science/Master of Technology).

We are talking about IIST here every branch is superb. But to choose between these two you have see where you want to work in. If you interested to work in ISRO then pick Aerospace Engineering, Electronics and communication Engineering. , If you are planning to take admission here and you want to work in ISRO then you don’t need to worry about too Much.

Next thing if you don't want to work for ISRO then you can choose the next option then avionics. In India job opportunity for Aerospace is less than Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Hope this helps!!

Hello,

It is quite difficult to predict the chances of getting seat in IIST, Thiruvananthapuram based on JEE Advanced rank. Last year the cut off rank (IIST UG ADMISSION-RANK) is as follows for OBC category

  • Aerospace Engineering: 473
  • Electronics and Communication  : 511
  • B.Tech. + Master of Science/Master of Technology: 521

And here is the Closing Percentage of JEE Advanced 2020 marks.

  • Aerospace Engineering: 21.72 %
  • Electronics and Communication  : 21.46%
  • B.Tech. + Master of Science/Master of Technology: 21.21%

Each year the maximum marks for JEE Advanced changes so does the cut off. You will have decent chances of getting seat if your total score in JEE Advanced is in between 21-25% of total score.

Cut off is subjected to change, it may increase or decrease depending on factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc. So it may increase or decrease this year based on above mentioned factors.

Hello Gunjan,

Hope you are great.

As you said like getting into ISRO is your dream and you have not cracked it this time. Entering into ISRO through ICRB is much difficult compared to IIST. If you have the confidence that you can make it with a try in JEE 2022 then I suggest you to take a long term and prepare for it.

If you are feeling like you can crack it after completing your B.tech then take an admission and join the college. Confidence is the main asset. Let me give a clear process of Entering into ISRO by ICRB and IIST :

Going through IIST :

  • If you clear the JEE Advanced cut-off of IIST and get an admission.
  • Complete your B.tech course with CGPA more than 7.5
  • They will directly recruit you without any other interviews.

Through ICRB :

  • Fill an application form.
  • Appear for ICRB written test in their allocated centers.
  • When you clear the exam, you will get a call for interview.
  • You can check the shortlisted candidates, whether you have cleared it or not.
  • If yes, Your job at ISRO is confirmed.

Hope this answers clears your doubt..

MODE OF ADMISSION :


It is a two-step process. One needs to qualify the JEE (Main) exam and then take the JEE (Advanced) exam.


One must separately apply for IIST Counselling. Admissions are based on the aggregate marks scored in JEE (Advanced).



Generally the closing cutoff percentage for aerospace engineering at IIST Thiruvananthapuram is around 29.5% - 30% as per the previous year trends.

This is the percentage of marks in jee Advanced exam.



Hi,

11th Standard is not that Late to start prepare for JEE. You can very well Start your preparation now. For JEE Mains , you should Focus on Text books like NCERT and previous year Papers. JEE Advanced has more depth in syllabus than JEE Mains. Most of the state boards has similar syllabus what is required for JEE Mains. If you clear you concepts in syllabus of XI and XII, then you can very well get good rank in JEE Mains.

I hope this will answer your query.

Thanks!!!!
