Remarks

Passion for Mathematical Sciences. The Indian Statistical Institute is one of the oldest and most acclaimed Institutions in the Country. The course also doesn't involve studying elective courses which are not related to mathematics.

Course Curriculum Overview

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.

Class Size: 31

Placement Experience

Most of the students stay after their Bachelor's for their Master's. After The Master's course is completed, students are offered placements. MNCs like Goldmann Sachs have visited our campus for this purpose. A large fraction of our students go for Ph.d in foreign Universities. Alumni network mainly consists of eminent professors in the top Institutes of the country (IITs, IISc, ISI) and also in foreign Universities. Since the batch strength is pretty small, all those who apply for a placement get placed. 100% placement is an unwritten rule of ISI.

College Events

Campus life is pretty good. The total strength of our Institute doesn't exceed 400 and compared to other colleges it's pretty small. But the environment inside is quite warm. Not much events are held in our Institute. Our annual fest "Integration" takes place every year in the last week of January. It's much smaller than those at the IITs but we all enjoy it.

Campus Life

Library and the wifi services are quite good. Labs are very well equipped just like any other Central Government Institution. Sports facilities are not that good. There is only one football field inside the campus. A lot of improvement has to be done in this aspect.

Hostel Facilities

Hostels are pretty well equipped. Wifi and LAN connections are stable and fast. We have a canteen in the ground floor and a TV room as well. Single rooms with attached baths are allotted to students. When there is a lack of rooms in the hostel, students are asked to pair up but that is temporary.

The Techno Experience

Likes

Practical Exposure with hands on training is always good for personal growth
The laboratories were well equipped with state of the art instruments
Entrepreneurship was encouraged and it really helped us with designing future start ups.

Dislikes

Lack of scholarships for the needy is one thing that needed to be worked on.
There was a distinct lack of encouragement to pursue extracurricular activity.
Sometimes it felt like it would have helped if we had a mental health counsellor onboard with the department.

Placement Experience:

Techno India University has a strong campus placement. Several students got jobs during the last semester, and I am one of them. Some others choose to wait for better opportunities. Some joined good startups. The package was nominal as we were all freshers. After getting my degree, I planned to pursue corporate experience and then join a lab for my PhD.

A brief discussion on ISI, Kolkata

Reason for preferring this college over others: I wished to study statistics and Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) is considered to be one of the best institutes in India to study mathematics and statistics. That is why I decided to take admission here. Admission process:(I) The written exam includes an objective paper(UGA) containing 30 questions and a subjective paper(UGB) containing 8 questions. If a student scores above the cut off marks in UGA (which varies from year to year but is typically between 65 to 80 out of 120) then his/her solutions for UGB will be checked. (II) Suppose the student got x in UGA and y in UGB. If ax+by(where a and b(a<b) are specified but varies year to year) is greater than a specified cutoff, then he/she will be selected for interview. (III) If the student scores z in the interview and his/her total score ax+by+cz(c will be specified but is usually greater than a+b) is above a certain cutoff then his/her name will be published in the merit list. However, the final selection and admission will take place according to the rank on the merit list.Good aspects: The professors have clear and in-depth knowledge of the subject and they teach based on their research experience. Huge emphasis is given in the understanding of the basic concepts. Amazing collection of books and journals in the library. Scope to attend seminars on theoretical, applied as well as interdisciplinary research. The canteen food is good as well.Bad aspects: Too much academic pressure, you cannot afford to study only weeks before exam and have to study throughout the year, from every batch on an average 5 students have to repeat an academic year and 2-3 students get chucked out of the institute. Unlike many other institutes ISI does not have various clubs that can help one with their personality development....Read More
