Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) conducts ISAT-2010 for admission to B.Tech / Undergraduate Programs in Avionics,Physical Sciences and Aerospace Engineering
What is this all about?
IIST Admission Test (ISAT-2010)
The admissions to the Undergraduate Programmes (B.Tech) at IIST for the year 2010 are made through the ISAT-2010.
INTRODUCTION
The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), a Deemed to be University under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956, was set up under the Department of Space, Government of India in the academic year, 2007-08. The Institute now offers undergraduate (B Tech) programmes in Aerospace Engineering, Avionics, and Physical Sciences. In addition to the regular curriculum similar to the general syllabi of Science and Engineering courses, the programmes will have special modules tailored to space technology and space science.
The Institute is being developed as a centre of excellence in the area of advanced space science and technology with Post-Graduate, Doctoral and Post-Doctoral programmes in the niche areas of Space Science, Technology and Applications to cater to the sophisticated technological requirements of ISRO.
In this institute, the education is fully integrated with the high technology research work being carried out at ISRO Centres. This is being achieved by making the best use of the R&D infrastructure of the Department of Space/ Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) besides creating its own resources to train the young minds in high technology areas. The institute is equipped with a full-fledged infrastructure of international standards to create an excellent academic and research ambience. The students will have ample opportunity for scientific and academic interaction with eminent scientists and technologists in the country and abroad, with the brightest among them taking part in academic exchange programmes between IIST and international Universities/institutions of repute. Along with the excellent infrastructure provided in IIST, the institute is also endowed with faculty members of fine academic excellence who not only nurture an excellent scholastic atmosphere here, but also act as mentors and counsellors to the students. The institute adopts modern methods of learning with a good mix of practical, tutorial and lectures in its curriculum. Within a short time, the Institute will have special satellite-based connectivity with higher bandwidth, enhancing its readiness for distant education delivery from premier institutions and research laboratories from within and outside the country.
The institute presently functions from a specially created Alternative Campus, adjacent to the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram. IIST's permanent campus is being established at Valiamala, about 20 kms from Thiruvananthapuram city. The first phase of this modern campus, set in a beautiful natural landscape, will be ready for occupation by early 2010. The campus shall house Academic Blocks with classrooms, research laboratories and computer centres, Library,
Administrative Block, Convocation Area, Student Activity Centre, Sports facilities, Hostels, and residential area for faculty & non-teaching staff. At present, IIST has 436 students and 54 faculty members, maintaining a student-faculty ratio of about 8:1. The ratio is expected to improve to 5:1 with the ongoing process of induction of more faculty members. IIST has introduced a very effective mentoring system to guide, support and enhance the student learning process.

The curriculum will have the best blend of basic science and engineering.
3. B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering: It is similar to programmes of the same title available in many reputed Institutions in India and abroad. The programme in IIST is oriented towards the needs of space technology, and has significant overlap with Mechanical Engineering including Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Science and Space Dynamics. People with B.Tech degree in Aerospace Engineering can further specialize in Flight Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Thermal and Propulsion, Structure and Design, and Manufacturing Science.
Every student who completes the B.Tech programme of IIST, meeting specified academic standards, will be absorbed in ISRO as Scientist/Engineer SC. To be thus eligible for absorption in ISRO, the student should have completed the B.Tech programme in four years with a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 6.5 (out of a maximum of 10). Students who join IIST to pursue Undergraduate programme are required to furnish a bond to serve ISRO for five years immediately after completion of the programme. The maximum time limit allowed for successful completion of the programme is six years, but any extension beyond the normal four years renders the student ineligible for absorption in ISRO. A student should earn 29 credits at the end of first year to continue his/her studies in IIST. Students who fail to earn at least 29 credits at the end of the first year will have to leave the academic programme and the Institute. Similarly students are required to earn 76 credits at the end of the second year and 124 credits at the end of the third year to continue their studies in IIST. The Institute makes every effort to support the weaker students by offering Winter and Summer courses every year.

REFRESHER COURSE ON FRONTIERS IN "ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES" for college/university teachers and post graduate students
What is this all about?
REFRESHER COURSE ON FRONTIERS IN "ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES"
Sponsored by
Indian Academy of Sciences,Bangalore
Indian Natioanl Science Academy, New Delhi and
The National Academy of Sciences, India, Allahabad
at
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL METEOROLOGY, PUNE
(June 14 to 25, 2010)
A two-week Refresher Course on ‘Frontiers in Atmospheric Sciences’ will be held at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune during June 14 to 25, 2010 for college/university teachers and post-graduate students. Atmospheric science has emerged as an important branch of science in recent times because of its increasing recognition and the need for better forecasting of weather and climate to meet the exigencies of the threats due to natural calamities such as floods, droughts, and lightning or due to man-made deterioration of the environment. This Refresher Course is intended to impart knowledge on some important frontline topics of contemporary interest such as climate and climatic change, global warming, atmospheric pollution, weather forecasting, climate forecasting, weather modification, physics and dynamics of tropical clouds, thunderstorms, global electric circuit etc. This course will include lectures by eminent scientists and visits to the state-of-art computer and instrumentation facilities. This course will provide an excellent opportunity to get an insight to the latest development and modern outlook of atmospheric science for students who plan to make their careers in atmospheric sciences or for the teachers who teach atmospheric science/physics.
Who Can Apply?
Teachers or post-graduate level students with background in Physical sciences, Atmospheric Science or Mathematics
Important Info
Selected candidates will be given to and fro train fare (AC three-tier) by shortest route from their place of work/study to Pune and local hospitality (lodging and boarding).
Applications and Other Procedures
Teachers or post-graduate level students with background in Physical sciences, Atmospheric Science or Mathematics may send in their application on a plain paper stating clearly their name, date of birth, complete address for correspondence including e-mail id, academic qualification starting from B.Sc, teaching experience.
