What is the future of B.Math and B.Stat students in ISI, Kolkata?

PD

B.Stat Statistics & Mathematics,Indian Statistical Institute (2018)

ISI Kolkata does not provide a B.Math program. The majority of B.Stat students return for M.Stat while some people join CMI, TIFR, IIM, and other such organizations. 

M.Stat employees earn an average of 16–17 LPA, and many of them attend prestigious US graduate institutions. There are no fees for the entire program, and a stipend is provided. So, if you're looking for a career here, your future is bright.

What are some reasons to not choose B.Stat at ISI Kolkata?

SB
Soutrik Banerjee Posted On : August 22nd, 2022
studied at Indian Statistical Institute

Life at ISI Kolkata isn’t similar to that of other typical colleges, where you can bunk classes, mug up concepts right before the examination, and score passing grades. It maintains a high standard of academics. The curriculum and course work is extremely grueling. Many students find it difficult to even score passing marks in some courses. ISI doesn’t give any option to retake a course. Many students take admission at ISI for the free-of-cost world-class education, it offers. This is not a good motivation for choosing the institute. Choose ISI Kolkata B.Stat, only if you are interested in the course.

What are my chances of getting admission in ISI Kolkata in B.Stats if I dont have pretty good marks in 12th (mathematics) but I clear its entrance and subjective paper? Is there any chance?

ISI Kolkata is considered to be a good institute for B.Stats. It accepts admission purely on the basis of the entrance exam and the interview. The minimum eligibility criteria for the entrance is 70% in class 12th boards. 

The selection process will be finalized upon your performance in the entrance exam and the interview session. With this score, you will be able to pass through the cutoff but you must have an exemplary performance during the interview session.

Is it wise to prepare for the ISI Kolkata B.Stat entrance exam instead of IIT?

SR
Shrayanshi Roy Posted On : September 15th, 2021
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata

Taking a course at IIT is just as difficult and demanding as pursuing a B.Stat course at ISI. They are whatever you choose to do with your life, whether you like mathematics/statistics enough to spend three years learning statistics (and a little math) and statistics solely at ISI, or you believe you are skilled in another subject that has a good course at one of the numerous IITs.

It depends totally on where you want to be. Furthermore, even if you prepare for college X, there is no guarantee that you will be accepted. As a result, keeping colleges Y and Z in mind as a backup is always a good idea.

Only you can decide which option is preferable for you and what you want.

What should I expect in the interview for a B.Stat at ISI, Kolkata?

GS
Gagan Singh Posted On : September 22nd, 2021
Studied B.Stat at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata (2018)

My brother appeared for the interview last year, so I think I can answer your question.

The panelists will evaluate your ability to explain new questions. They might even ask you to solve the questions on the board. You must be clear about your choice of ISI Kolkata as you will be asked the reason for the same during the interview.

Expect questions on topics such as Calculus, Geometry, Combinatorics, and Probability. Keep your basics clear, know the definitions, and practice solving problems based on the definitions.

Just keep practicing, be confident and give your best shot at the interview.

How good is the B.Stat course at ISI Kolkata?

DM
Deepika Mitra Posted On : May 5th, 2022
studied at ISI Kolkata

ISI Kolkata B.Stat can be an ideal fit for you, if you are interested in Mathematics and Statistics. 

However, in terms of placements, doing just a B.Stat isn’t enough. Recruiting companies rarely employ students with just a B.Stat degree. If you want good placement packages do an M.Stat from ISI or a foreign university. After completing M.Stat, students usually receive an average CTC of around INR 19 LPA.

How can I prepare for the B.Stat. at ISI, Kolkata?

TD
Tina Dey Posted On : September 21st, 2021
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute (2018)

There are three sections in the entrance exam and the level of maths is the same as what you studied in your 12th. The exam follows the pattern of most high school mathematics competitions (RMO, INMO, etc).

The three sections of the Entrance Exam consist of MCQ, A Subjective Test, and an Interview.

The books you must know are:

  1. Problem Solving Strategies by Engel Arthur
  2. Test of Mathematics at the 10 + 2 level, Indian Statistical Institute, Published by Affiliated East-West Press Pvt. Ltd.
  3. Challenge and Thrill of Pre-College Mathematics by B. J. Venkatachala

You should complete these all and do previous year’s papers of ISI/CMI RMO, INMO and IMO.

For Interview:

  • Once you crack the exam, the interview part won’t be that difficult.
  • Answer the questions confidently and honestly.
  • The entrance exam of ISI is not easy and also there are only a few seats for B.Stat. 
  • You have to prepare well.

Do not overthink and do your preparation well. This will help you a lot. Be calm and try to think of cracking the exam and the latter part would be an easy task for you.

I am currently enrolled in B.Tech at an NIT is it okay for me to do the ISI Kolkata B.Stat program? Consider the fact that I dropped one year after year 12 for NIT.

PD

B.Stat in Statistics (academic discipline) & Mathematics,Indian Statistical Institute (2017)

The path you want to get into is a very dangerous one and it can totally spoil your career without you being able to do anything for it. 

ISI, B.Stat is a very famous course and is known for the entrance paper which is considered very tough by all those appearing in it. The course is tough because the student who is above the cutoff receives a huge financial help from the government covering the major portion of the tuition fee. Apart from this after the entrance exam the candidate can be certain of a well paid job one he/she completes the course and is awarded with the degree.

It gets difficult for the selections if there’s a year gap as lower age students are preferred and in your case there's a two year gap so the chances reduce even more. It would be very risky to change your college again and could cost some harm in your career.

Is it safe to join a B.Stat at ISI Kolkata (I'm a non-Bengali student)?

Which course should I choose if I get a chance to study at ISI Kolkata, a B.Math or a B.Stat?

AS
Aniket Sinha Posted On : October 7th, 2021
Studied MS(QMS) from Indian Statistical Institute (2018)

Both B.Stat and B.Math are different courses being offered at different campuses at ISI Kolkata and ISI Bangalore respectively. There are only a few common subjects in both courses. 

The choice ultimately depends on your choice and interest. You can go through the syllabus of both courses and understand the topics. Find whichever interests you, you can choose to be research-oriented like B.math students or go for M.stat or other courses, if you choose so.

You can apply for only 1 course because the institute conducts the entrance of both courses at the same time and day. You will be able to appear for only one of them.
