Is learning coding a must to get placed at ISI Kolkata?

If you are asking about ISI Kolkata placement, then having basic coding skills is definitely a plus. Statistical algorithms use tools or programming languages such as Python, R, SAS, MS Azure, etc. So, you need to know the basics of one of these tools to implement the algorithm to data.

Being a computer science engineer, how can I apply for a post graduate course in ISI KOLKATA?

You can apply to get into ISI Kolkata in two ways each year. Usually, right after the GATE exam, they post an advertisement in the paper for admissions. After this, you can do the following: First, take the written test provided by the college for admission and if you crack it, you will qualify for the interview process. Secondly, if you have given GATE, you will be called directly for the interview if you have scored well. But, make sure that you do well in the interview. This is the final qualifier for obtaining admission.

Does ISI Kolkata provide undergraduate courses on Computer Science?

No, unfortunately, ISI Kolkata does not provide undergraduate courses on computer science. However, the proposal for starting B.Tech in computer science has been put forward but has not landed to any conclusion yet, and is being said that in the coming future this proposal may be accepted. For now, the present scenario of the undergraduate course in ISI Kolkata would just be B.Stat and B.Math. They both contain extensive teaching in computer programming as well as statistics. B.Math is a combination of computer science and pure mathematics and statistics. Whereas B.Stat contains lesser topics of computer science in their syllabus than B.Math.

Will a 20-year-old be considered for admission into the ISI Kolkata BStat or are younger ones preferred more?

First of all, please do not worry about the age limit because as a 20-year old youll definitely be considered for entrance exams. There is a rule which states that you cannot appear more than the fixed number of times for the same exam, but theres no rule which bars you because of your age. Youll find that you will have seniors in your batch too and maybe those with similar concerns, such as yours. As for the admission process, you do not have to worry about looks, age, number of years, height, weight, or skin color. Except for your appearance and behavior, the rest is overlooked. Also, you must be fast at calculation and logic to do well in the interview.

Can I apply for more than one master course at ISI Kolkata?

Yes, you can apply for more than one master’s course at ISI Kolkata but you won’t be able to appear for more than one entrance examination. All the entrance exams are conducted on the same day at the same time, therefore you will not be able to appear for more than one examination. Technically you can fill the application forms for more than one examination if you are a bit confused at present and want to have safe options. You can apply using two different email IDs to register and make the payments for both of them. But in the end, you will have to decide which exam you want to prepare for and appear in.

Which one should I consider between an MS in Statistics from an Ivy League college in the USA or an MS in Statistics from ISI Kolkata?

It is important to collect a good amount of information as to how to apply to a US college and then ask yourself which course to consider. After this, you must look for that option that fulfills your requirements and needs. When you qualify for those exams, then you must consider which one to choose. For the Ivy League colleges, you will be required to appear for GRE Mains and TOEFL. In almost all cases it would be a better prospect for you to give GRE as an exam as it will give a bit more of a specialized vibe to your application. The next step would be to send in your application to individual universities along with your CV, mark sheets, and letter of recommendation from your college faculty. In some of the cases, they also require you to send a good SOP. Now, you must gather information about all of the above-mentioned exams and start preparing for them.

Does ISI conducts separate exam for Delhi and Kolkata campus for MSQE course?

One of my friends graduated from ISI, Delhi Campus. So I might be able to give you some information about it. For the Kolkata and Delhi campuses, I don’t believe there are separate MSQE exams. When filling out the application, you must choose between Kolkata and Delhi. If nothing has changed since 2009, which I assume it has, you will only have to take one exam and select your campus on the application form. However, in Delhi and Kolkata, interviews are performed at the relevant locations. That is, students who are chosen in a Delhi interview are admitted to ISI Delhi, and vice versa.

For ISI MSQE exam, can we apply for either Delhi or Kolkata, or both?

While choosing between Kolkata or the Delhi campus students should apply to any one of them and not in both of them. Some commonly known facts regarding this are: - Both ISI Kolkata and ISI Delhi are very good for pursuing Masters in Economics. Both of the institutes have excellent faculty in their fields. Placements for both the institutes are really good, especially for PhDs. The interview list for ISI Delhi has been found to be bigger than that of ISI Kolkata People believe that it is easier to get into ISI Kolkata when compared to ISI Delhi because of the location and fewer competitors for the institute which is absolutely wrong. Both the institutes have the same cutoff and entrance exam. The criteria for the selection of students is also the same in both the institutes therefore it is equally hard for the students to get into both. According to a report published it has been observed that students find it easier to get into ISI Kolkata when compared to ISI Delhi. The cutoff criteria change every year and for last year it was: - For ISI Delhi the cutoff was said to be near 400 out of 600 according to the stats released in the official page. For ISI Kolkata the cutoff was said to be near 310 out of 600 from the same source. Overall ISI Delhi is the better option here but ISI Kolkata is the safer one.
