ISI- The Mathematician's Paradise.

You are not required to pay any fees. All you need is a great deal of cranial capacity and the ability to work hard. Moreover, every student receives a stipend of Rs. 5000 per month, provided they maintain certain academic standards(as mentioned in the Rules and Regulations). You may also apply for other scholarships instead of the one provided by the institute.

Sannidhya Basu's Review On Indian Statistical Institute - [ISI], Kolkata

The Course Curriculum is quite tedious and doesn't leave one with much free time. But if you are a ardent mathematics lover like me, you won't face much problems. The course content is much more updated than any other Statistics course in this country. All faculties are extremely learned people and are the brains in this country.
