Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO has created a world record by sending 104 satellites into space on February 15, 2017. On this occasion, one of the officials of ISRO indicated that teamwork is the key factor in making the project a success. He also revealed that most of the team members of this launch were youth and achieving excellence in the process is a milestone in itself.
If the students are interested in working with ISRO, they need to complete a four-year B.Tech course in any stream. To make it easier, the candidates can easily bag a job in ISRO if they complete four-year B.Tech or five-year dual degree programmes from Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Trivandrum .
