Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), arranged at Thiruvananthapuram is a Deemed to be University under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. IIST capacities as an independent body under the Department of Space, Government of India. The possibility of such an establishment was mooted remembering the requirement for top notch labor for the Indian Space Research Organization, one of world's driving logical associations occupied with space research and space applications.

IIST offers different undergrad and postgraduate projects in regions that are pertinent to space concentrates on. The organization at present offers B.Tech in three branches – Aerospace Engineering, Avionics and Physical Sciences. From scholarly year 2015 onwards, a Dual Degree (B. Tech + M.S/M.

This five year Dual Degree Program will prompt a B.Tech degree in Engineering Physics and any of the accompanying Postgraduate specializations - (i) M.S. (Stargazing and Astrophysics) (ii) M.S.
