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

● Top Answer By Praniti Das on 28 Sept 21

Ans. 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.Read more

Ques. How do I prepare for BHU UET Bsc Maths (hons)?

● Top Answer By Shirsti Varma on 11 Nov 21

Ans. To score well in BHU UET, you need to have your basics clear. Go through all the chapters in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics from NCERT books and your textbooks at least once.  Go through the previous year’s questions from the BHU website. You will get to know the question trends and also get an idea of the chapters to focus on. They often repeat questions. The questions are not that hard. You can easily attempt 10% of the questions. 60% of the questions require fundamental knowledge of the subjects. Only around 30% of the questions will be difficult to solve. But you don’t need to worry about the 30% difficult question. You can easily score enough marks from the rest of the paper. Time management is crucial during the examination. The allotted time is 150 min. Which can seem short, if you don’t plan accordingly. First, you should attempt Chemistry questions. These are easy to solve and require less time. Then you can move on to Physics and Mathematics. Don’t stress too much on the questions that you don’t know the answer to. Try to score at least 120 out of 150 in the Chemistry section.  Your focus on class 11 and 12th syllabus should be 40/60.  The required cutoff for the general candidates is around 190-200. So, try to score 240 to get your preferred combination. Read more

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

● Top Answer By Aniket Sinha on 07 Oct 21

Ans. 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.Read more

Ques. Is the MNC branch in IIT Kharagpur preferential over CSE in IIT Bhubaneswar, Indore or Dhanbad?

● Top Answer By Madan Sahu on 16 Mar 23

Ans. When it comes to MNC at IIT Kharagpur, the course is primarily focused on Mathematics, while only a small portion is related to coding or computer sciences. However, this can actually work to your advantage because the course structure of MNC department at IIT Kgp offers you an equal opportunity to enhance your skills in coding as well as in Finance or Analytics. Moreover, if you happen to fall in love with your course, you also have the opportunity to pursue a Phd in Applied Mathematics as you will be graduating with an MSc degree. Besides the academic advantages, you can also benefit from the well-developed Institute culture and Placement Cell of IIT Kharagpur, which can help shape your career. Taking all of these factors into consideration, I strongly recommend that you consider pursuing MNC at IIT Kharagpur.Read more

Ques. Which college is the best for a B.Sc(honours) in mathematics, Ramjas College or Kirori Mal College?

● Top Answer By Shashank Roy on 08 Nov 21

Ans. Both Ramjas College and Kirori Mal College are quite reputed colleges. There are no such parameters to differentiate between these two. Both of these two institutes have good faculty bases. You will also get decent facilities to learn at these colleges.  The only significant factor that can be mentioned is that Kirori Mal has a NAAC A+ accreditation with a better grade as compared to Ramjas. However, it’s not wise to compare these two institutes based on grade. You will have decent opportunities at both. So, you can opt for any of these two based on your convenience. Read more
