ISI kolkata, a place to go for.

Likes

Library is good.It has many books. Ans there so standard collection that we usually don't afford or don't have any pdf copies online are also available.
Faculty is extraordinary. All of the members of SMU are working statisticians and Mathematics.
Even tough the campus not too big. It is really beautiful.

Dislikes

I think the admin block is little negligible. They don't respond to your queries immediately.
This one so causual. You might feel uncomfortable with food. It is tough for vegetarian, but you could survive.
I am sports person and ISI ground is too small .

Placement Experience:

Placements are quite good.But if you are looking for placement I would suggest to join M Stat or MSQE rather than M Math. M.Math students mostly go for higher studies. Regarding you will better recommendations in ISI.

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

Remarks:

Indian Statistical Institute is a popular institute in quality education. I want to pursue an academic/research career in Statistics and allied fields and that was why I joined for post graduation in ISI. The admission is merit based on graduation marks and written admission test.

A brief discussion on ISI, Kolkata

Admission:

Admission process: This point is completely discussed in the admission process section of "What were the factors that made you choose this College/Institute/University?"Test pattern and interview questions: (I) The syllabus of the exam includes the entire syllabus of IITJEE along with some additional topics like Euclidean geometry and Number Theory. (II) Written exam is held in two phases: Objective (UGA) where one has to solve 30 questions in 120 mins(marking scheme is +4 if correct answer, +1 if unanswered, 0 if wrong) and Subjective (UGB) which contains 8 questions.(III) In the interview, typically one will be asked 4-5 questions on an average but the professors are helpful and give hints if a student gets stuck.Preparation: Problem solving is the key thing. One should try to solve the entire book Test of Mathematics at 10+2 Level(aka TOMATO) published by ISI. Additionally, I also used to take coaching for ISI entrance.

My Memorable Days in College.

Entrance Preview:

I tool ISI JEE entrance examination. I never came to know how much I scored in entrance examination; ISI never reveals that; neither they shares rank. ISI only sends selection letter. I scored 76% in M.Stat. I opted for this particular college as this is the best college in ASIA in its curriculum.

ISI Kolkata: 1 Answered Question

What are reviews about ISI (Indian Statistical Institute) placements and MS programmes at centres in Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata?

Tarun ChakrabortyStudied at Indian Statistical Institute (2017)

Having to know some people studying at both Simsree and KJ Somaiya and here are some things that you should know. They both are equally good.

Both the institutes, for their MMS course, teach the same syllabus specified by the University of Mumbai. So, according to the content, there is no difference.
This is generally a good thing that you are specializing in something that roughly 4 to 5% of the batch will specialize in.
It is not as difficult for the placement committee to get companies with specific profiles.
The institutes have been there for a fairly long time and both have a steady pool of recruiters. Therefore, placements are not very problematic.
Having said that, placements depend on multiple factors, and nothing can be guaranteed.
K J Somaiya has more full-time faculty members whereas SIMSREE has more visiting faculty members. But cannot say the same about the operations specialization.

Irrespective of where you go, your responsibility is to get better, participate in competitions, do certifications, and improve yourself holistically. The institute cannot impose anything if you have no intention of doing it.
