ISAT 2012 Description

The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology 2012 (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 2007. 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 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 (DoS)/Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) besides creating its own resources to train the young minds in high technology areas.

ISAT 2012 Eligibility

Citizenship

Only Indian citizens are eligible to appear in ISAT 2012

Date of Birth

The date of birth of candidates belonging to GEN and OBC categories should be on or after October 1, 1986, while the date of birth of those belonging to SC, ST and PD categories should be on or after October 1, 1981. The date of birth as recorded in the high school/first Board /or its equivalent will be accepted. If the certificate does not mention the date of birth, candidate must submit an authenticated document from competent authority indicating the date of birth at the time of Counselling.

Qualifying Examination (QE)

Candidates belonging to GEN and OBC categories must have passed any one of the QE listed below in the first appearance with an aggregate of at least 70% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) and those belonging to SC, ST and PD categories must have passed any one of the QE in the first appearance with an aggregate of at least 60% marks in PCM subjects. The candidate must have cleared the QE on or after 1st January and on or before1st July. Those who are expecting the results of QE later than 1st July are not eligible to apply for ISAT 2012. Candidates who have passed the QE earlier than 1st January are also not eligible to apply.

The qualifying examinations are listed below:

• The final examination of the 10+2 system, conducted by any recognized Central / State Board, such as Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi; Council for Indian School Certificate Examination (ISCE), New Delhi, etc.
• Intermediate or two-year Pre-University examination conducted by a recognized Board /University.
• Final examination of the two-year course of the Joint Services Wing of the National Defence Academy.
• General Certificate Education (GCE) examination (London / Cambridge / Sri Lanka) at the Advanced (A) level.
• High School Certificate Examination of the Cambridge University or International Baccalaureate Diploma of the International Baccalaureate Office, Geneva.
• Any Public School/Board/University examination in India or in any foreign country recognized as equivalent to the 10+2 system by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU)
• Vocational Higher Secondary Examination.
• Senior Secondary School Examination conducted by the National Institute of Open Schooling with a minimum of five subjects.In case the relevant qualifying examination is not a public examination, the candidate must have passed at least one public (Board or Pre-University) examination at an earlier level.

Minimum Percentage of Marks in Class X or equivalent examination

Candidates belonging to GEN and OBC categories must have at least 70% marks in aggregate and those belonging to SC, ST and PD categories must have at least 60% marks in aggregate, taking into account all subjects.

Note:

For both Class X and 10 +2 examinations, the percentage of marks awarded by the Board will be treated as final. If the Board provides the equivalent percentage of marks against grades, then the candidate has to base his/her calculations in percentage based on the norms given by the concerned Board. If a Board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the Board specifying the equivalent marks as percentages (by taking into account all subjects in Class: X or equivalent and PCM subjects in Class: 10+2 or equivalent), and submit the same at the time of counselling.
