The IIST faculty consists of highly qualified and research-oriented individuals working in theoretical as well as practical domains of Science & Engineering, especially for space applications. Most of the professors hold a PhD from one of the IITs or IISTc and have worked at foreign universities for postdoctoral positions. Some professors prefer the chalk-&-talk approach, while others use ICT tools and presentations more frequently. The overall teaching quality is good, with good-quality practice & graded assignments provided for sufficient absorption of theoretical concepts. Examinations & grading are generally on the tougher side to bring the best out of students. Most faculty members are keen to take undergraduate onboard research projects and actively encourage students to conduct quality research, make conference presentations, apply for patents and publish their work in reputed journals to strengthen students' research profiles.Read Full Review

The faculties in different departments have different teaching experience. Talking about the Avionics Department, there are a few good faculty members who would make the subject interesting and easy for us to learn. But most professors are very strict with their subject and want you to do all the assignments and course work exams in proper manner. Most teachers prefer using a PPT but some still use the blackboard. There are some faculties who are supportive and encouraging. The teacher to student ratio at the Institute is 1:9. In regards with the Avionics Department, there wasn't great student and faculty bonding but I have seen the Aerospace Department faculties to be more supportive and bonded with the students.Read Full Review
