why iist placement offers very poor package and low placement in spite of admission based on JEE Advanced?

Hello,

Despite these factors, the landscape for IIST graduates is evolving. With the growing interest and investment in the private space sector in India and globally, more opportunities might become available, potentially improving placement statistics and salary packages over time. The specialized knowledge and skills acquired at IIST are highly valued in certain sectors, and as these sectors expand, the demand for IIST graduates is likely to increase.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
