Applications are invited for the Summer Internship Programme 2024 for All Science UG and PG Students at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. Check the details below!
Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), situated at Thiruvananthapuram, is Deemed a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. IIST is an autonomous body under the Department of Space, Government of India. The idea of such an institute was mooted, considering the need for high-quality manpower for the Indian Space Research Organization, one of the world’s leading scientific organizations engaged in space research and space applications. The institute is the first of its kind in the country to offer high-quality education at the undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral levels in areas with a special focus on space sciences, space technology and space applications.
IIST was formally inaugurated on 14 September 2007 by Dr G. Madhavan Nair, the then Chairman, ISRO and was temporarily housed in the premises of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, very close to where ISRO built and launched its first rocket.
Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology is a premier institution under the Department of Space, Government of India, focusing on Space Science and Technology and related areas. IIST has around 96 faculty, 578 BTech students, 258 MTech students, and 313 PhD scholars.
Every summer, many talented interns come to IIST to work with faculty on interesting short-term projects. Students at various stages in BTech, BS-MS, MSc, and other programmes from reputed institutions like IITs and IISERs come to IIST for summer internships.
