Dear IISTians, if you were given the choice of joining Top IITs core branches instead of going towards research, would you have accepted it?

Pls answer.

i have just entered class 12 and have a really huge interest in aerospace field but need a little help from the seniors!

so i really like knowing about stuff regarding space and rockets and and how everything functions but has a really limited knowledge about those stuff since i didnt know how to and where to learn about it and where should i start from..

I know for a fact, i wont be able to crack jee advance... but i really want to learn about things which are taught in the campus...

so i have a little request from the seniors if someone could kindly share the curriculum (the topics they study and how long does each topic last) they study there in iist... i would have an idea regarding where should i start from.. and i would eventually know a lot more about this field

regarding where would i study from.. i am going to search it on internet and understand the topics as much i can..

i dont know if thats allowed to share the inside information but if you could.. please do! i would be eternally grateful to you!

thankyou for your time and consideration!

Should I join iist for mtech

I'm from Mumbai ECE 2023 batch and the only reason I'm thinking to do the mtech from IIST is in the hopes of joining isro in the future. Is it possible? Currently I'm working in a core company for 8 months, and I have to leave that job if I'm going to the the mtech from IIST. I'm really open for the reaserch and knowledge part, that is the first priority. But what is the life after you did the Mtech from IIST without getting campus placement? Do you have you have to struggle to get the job or is it comparatively easy?

IIST PASSOUTS PLEASE HELP!

The Nasty Truth About IIST

I wrote the original work, to not be traced by my handwriting here is the changed script by gpt4 :

In these modern times when the studious youth seek counsel on halls of higher learning, I find myself compelled to lay bare the profundities of my own tribulations at the institute known as IIST. For three revolutions of the celestial bodies have I endured the vicissitudes of this establishment (Avionics being my chosen field of scholarship, should you be amongst the cognoscenti). Nay, I shan't abide the self-destruction of generations yet to come.

Hark, for I shall elucidate the manifold reasons why one ought to eschew this path:

  • The Location Sucks

A mountain they hewed asunder to birth this pit of Hades. No purveyors of sundries inhabit the neighboring precincts, necessitating a perambulation of thirty minutes or more to procure the merest trifle. A hamlet's proximity doth not ameliorate its desolation.

  • The food sucks

Oh, the wretched fare that assails our palates! The morning repast is tolerable, the midday meal palatable, but the evening tea and supper are naught but culinary abominations. Should one seek refuge in the campus refectory, no wholesome sustenance is to be found, and to venture beyond incurs a financial burden most onerous.

  • A Research Institute? For Whom, I ask?

We students of the Baccalaureate are forever beleaguered by the inexorable demand of eighty percent attendance (a requirement not to be trifled with, for our numbers scarce exceed threescore, and our comings and goings are chronicled by the biometric witness). The professors, akin to their brethren elsewhere, are wanting in the art of instruction; some so tyrannical as to forbid even the briefest respite or study of auxiliary subjects during their orations. Most egregious is their power to bar one from the semesterly examinations should a mere percent be lacking in attendance (a fate that befell one of my intimate acquaintances this past term).

And when at last we retreat to our cloisters, we are met with cramped quarters, rank with unsavory odors, two paltry urinals to be shared amongst four-and-twenty souls, and but a scant few bathing chambers in deplorable condition. Merely six or seven hours are afforded us to pursue our studies (at utmost reckoning), during which we must endeavor to comprehend the professors' teachings, complete our assignations, and yet find time to sate our intellectual curiosities and nurture our dreams. Verily, I attest that even this proves insufficient for nine-tenths of our number.

The institute concerns itself not with the scholarly pursuits of seven-and-ninety percent of its residents, reserving its researches solely for the Doctors of Philosophy and the professorate. We, the multitude, may well attend any other academy of undistinguished repute. Even when luminaries grace our halls with their discourse, we are denied leave to attend, shackled instead to the droning of our taskmasters. Let none be seduced by promises of research, for such are mere phantasms belied by reality.

  • A Government Job?

Do their webpages still trumpet such farcical claims? Nay, though your accomplishments be of the highest caliber, a journey to the hallowed grounds of ISRO shall remain a quixotic aspiration. The ancient system hath been upended; an interview and a strictly delimited number of vacancies await the newly initiated. Though Somnath did lately venture to the precincts of the vaunted IIT Bombay to enlist their brightest at the fest of technology, he has neglected to tread the grounds of IIST (that very institution erected to cultivate and recruit the luminous intellects) these many moons.

  • Cultural Festivals? Enjoyments, you Say?

Ah, so Somnath did grace the cultural festivities of IIT Bombay? Yet what of our own revelries?

For three revolutions of the terrestrial sphere we have petitioned, nay, supplicated our overseers for the merest permission to revel, only to have the granted indulgences rescinded upon the mere pique of some cantankerous Professor Ranganathanayanaswamy. We are forever abased, beseeching our dean for the smallest liberties. A pall of ennui suffuses this sphere; a curiosity for you - the fairer sex is forbidden egress from their quarters past the eleven o'clock knell, lacking formal dispension. I cannot recollect the last time I beheld a feminine visage, so estranged am I from their company.

  • To Wander is to Tempt Fate

The crowning affront - you shall not quit these confines past the tenth hour of night, eternally entombed in this purgatory.

With this jeremiad and divulgence of truth, I entreat you to steer well clear of the path that leadeth to IIST, lest you too become ensnared in its dread coils.

DON'T COME TO IIST

questions about iist from a junior

hi everyone

i am a 12th grader from delhi
i am from lower middle class and i am starting my drop year from 12th april for JEE

my parents and everyone here just want a govt job , but i am keen towards research and physics and maths

so and only option for me is ISRO ( or IIST for a college )

so here are some my questions

1.) what is the scene for north indians ( regarding food and social life )

2.) how good/bad is sex ratio ( i am from a school , where there are only 2 girls in a class of 43 , i dont want the same for a college )

3.) i desparately want to pursue engineering physics , if i do so , what are the chances of job in isro

4.) i heard from quora that isro takes only 30% students , is that true ?

5.) if i join iist and get decent gpa , is there any chance for job in isro and what about salary , i dont want financial instabilities as my parents are going through

6.) overall social life
( i care for social life also , becuase i never made a friend in my school life and i feel extremely lonely sometimes and i am a human )

hoping for your reply 😊

It was a prank by yours truly - Sankalp Hongal

Hello everyone, it was me Sankalp, can't believe it right? How does it feel to get pranked first years? Don't worry anymore there is no gay man among you, i seriously hope you didn't suspect anyone of your batchmates, if you have please apologise to them. It was a publicity stunt to get your attention.

So now that I do have your attention,many first years still have not joined, join the yes+ program and we'll do many fun things together 😉

Don't spam here u/ThatSameWatermelon42

So, reddit deleted my account. And I was too busy jerking off to the sankalp bussy to notice. Anyways, i wrote a diary containing my desires for my first encounter with the sankalpbussy. I have decided that

I'll caresss his leg hair slowly with passion, then I'll sniff his legs from foot to bussy, then I'll open his trousers, and get a feel of his bussy beneath his underwear. Before getting off his shorts I'll lick it with my bare tongue. Then I'll ask him to turn around and lock my eyes with him as i slowly enter that sweet heavenly door of ecstasy, remembering all those times i have passionately stared at his bussy during our yoga session. Oh and we'll make love for the first time in full moonlight, watching the stars and praying to Allah that we be together for the rest of our lives. Finally, after an intense period of many times, I'll raise the tired sankalp in my hands. And I'll drop him at his bed, only for him the wake up the next morning with my cock in his ass. And we lived happily ever after.

Why I need sankalp in my life(and his bussy)

You have to understand bro, his bussy is just perfect. He has perfected it through yoga for all these years. It's just a gold mine sitting there to be mined.

I love sankalp from yoga club (advice needed please I beg you)

Hello, I am a BTech 1st year student, joined this month only. I am a male. Whenever I see sankalp from yoga club I get a raging boner. I really want to hit that sankalp's bussy(ass). I promise to provide him the utmost satisfaction in a love relationship. I have also joined the yes+ program to try to get closer to him but find him hard to approach. I just stare at him from a distance, hoping one day he'll notice my affection and reciprocate. If there are any people on this subreddit, please ask his opinion on our relationship and tell here. Even if he says no I'll never stop chasing him, because i believe in the power of true love. The iist confession Facebook didn't upload my confession so If someone can please do.

ISRO(Help Please)

Hey, I will cut right to the chase. I have always wanted to join ISRO, I don't even remember a time when I considered anything other than ISRO as a possible career trajectory. As a result, I have decided to join Aerospace Engineering at IIST.

  1. I have heard that ISRO has stopped absorbing scientists from IIST directly. How true is it?Most of the information dates back to 2017-18. What is the current scenario?
  2. What is the CGPA that will guarantee ISRO. I know 7-7.5 is the qualifying criteria, but there must be a sort of SAFE CGPA. What is it?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

PS - If this subreddit is not for such posts, please tell me any other platform for my query. Thank you again for reading.

IIST or IIT Palakkad ?

So, I got admission for M.Tech in VLSI in IIST and M.Tech in Power Electronics in IIT PKD. I completed my B.Tech from CUSAT in EEE. So any ideas on which institute I should prefer?

I have heard that IIST campus life is more academic oriented and IIT campus life is more vibrant. But for me personally this is not an issue. Also I've heard that the research and labs at IIST is at par or better as compared to the top IITs. Also as per NIRF ranking IIST is better than IIT PKD.

I give equal weightage to both VLSI and Power Electronics and hence the delemma.

Any help much appreciated. Also, how's the placements in IIST for M.Tech?
