The Indian Institute of Space Technology has started a four year B Tech courses in Avionics and Aerospace and the five year integrated post graduate course in Applied Sciences. This has made IIST the world’s first Space University offering under graduate programs to the students. The first batch of the students consists of 138 students out of which 11 are women. The student studying here learns the technology and can see it in action, which is not possible anywhere else. Even at IIT they don’t provide course for avionics. IIT has course for aeronautics but in that emphasis is more on flight mechanism and not on astronautics, which is available in IIST. They are also planning to come out with three post graduate program in specific areas of interest to ISRO.
