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.

The internet speed and facilities are fantastic at ISI Kolkata. This should be the least of your concerns. You will have also have access to a computer lab with high-speed Wi-Fi.

There used to be a gym, but it is not available anymore. A new canteen has taken over the floor where the gym used to be.

They have a well-kept large field that is primarily used for football and also hosts the annual Sports Meet. Volleyball, table tennis, and other sports are played within the hostel.

Which course has the higher placement rate and higher package at ISI, Kolkata?

SM
Sailesh Mishra Posted On : September 2nd, 2021
MS Indian Statistical Institute, DRTC, Bangalore

All the courses of ISI Kolkata i.e. M. Math, M. Tech (CSE), M. Stat, MSQE, and M. Tech QROR have the same placement rate that is 100%. All the courses have a placement rate of 100% and every student of ISI Kolkata either gets placed. 

The only thing that differs in all these courses in terms of placement is the time when they get placement. The students from one course get placed earlier than the other. M.Stat students get placed earlier than the MSQE or M.Tech students. According to the average package, the students of M.Stat usually receive a higher average package. However, MSQE or M.Tech students also get higher packages in some years. The average CTC offered at the institute is 19 LPA.

Will there be any problems faced by students in communication in ISI Kolkata?

SD
Snigdha Das Posted On : September 6th, 2021
B.Stat Statistics & Mathematics, Indian Statistical Institute (2018)

As one of my friends is from ISI Kolkata, let me share some of her experiences about it, which might give you a clear idea.

  • During his initial and first ISI stay back in 2016, he met a few summer students from Kerala.
  • That was when he had a chance to work around any sort of language barrier. 
  • It is to be noted that Indians will be able to get by easily, especially because Indian languages share a lot of similarities. 
  • Non-Indians, particularly those from beyond the subcontinent, may have more difficulty, but I believe non-Indians are uncommon at the college level.
  • Almost everyone on campus speaks English and/or Hindi. 
  • Students and teachers, with the exception of a small minority, speak functional English.
  • A few gestures may be required while interacting with non-teaching staff. 
  • Off-campus merchants and service providers frequently speak basic Hindi, which can be witnessed with gestures. 
  • This is analogous to how in Chennai, English augmented with a few basic Tamil words and gestures suffices.
  • Furthermore, if you already know Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Sanskrit, or any comparable language, the Bengali language would be easy to learn. 

As a result, the vast majority of linguistic backgrounds in India are covered. Eventually, there's a low likelihood that an Indian from another state will have serious communication problems.

Which M.Tech program at ISI Kolkata is better, CS, QROR or Cryptology?

DB
Diya Barua Posted On : September 21st, 2021
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute (2018)

After doing some research online, I would say that all the courses at ISI Kolkata are amazing if you know which field you have to choose. Everything depends on your choice of the field as every field is distinct from one another.

Now, I would mention that for M.Tech CS & QROR, these are already well-established Programs and need no introduction. 

QROR:

  • It’s a course based on subjects in applied statistics and business analytics.
  • If you want to be in Business Analytics, it’s better than CS & Crypto.

CS:

  • It has theoretical CS as well as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Courses.
  • This will give you ample opportunity to do a Ph.D. as well as jobs in Data science positions.
  • If you like coding and discrete mathematics etc then this is a zone to play in.

Crypto:

  • ISI has India’s best Crypto people.
  • And this is the first year of M.Tech Crypto so there is not much data available.
  • But if you are not good in Abstract algebra Number theory then say not to this course.
  • Research opportunities after M.Tech Crypto will definitely be better than that of QROR or CS.

I hope this helps you in clearing how all the three courses are distinct from each other. Each has its different criteria and comfort.

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?

GG
Geetika Goel Posted On : September 13th, 2021
Studied at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (2015-2019)

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.

Which institute should I join for an MTech in computer science, ISI Kolkata or one of the IITs?

AG
Anuraag Gupta Posted On : July 8th, 2022
Studied at Indian Statistical Institute

IITs offer better placements for MTech in Computer Science. ISI Kolkata offers fewer core Computer Science job profiles. Most opportunities offered at the institute are for M.Stat and MSQE students. But if you want a career as a Data Scientist, it will be a better choice. ISI Kolkata placements are the best in the country for analytics. However, the recruiting companies usually prefer M.Stat/MSQE students over M.Tech. 

According to the recent placement highlights M.Tech CS students of ISI usually receive a median CTC of around INR 18.6 LPA. 

In terms of research too, join ISI Kolkata, if you want to work on something related to analytics or big data, etc. If you want a traditional career path in CS, then IITs will be better.

How much does the Work experience, test score, other factors matter for admission in PGDBA course hosted by universities IIT Kgp, IIM C , ISI Kolkata?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : July 8th, 2022
studied at IIT Kgp

These colleges don’t reveal the separate weightage break-up for work experience, test scores, and other such factors. For the final shortlist, institutes such as IIT KGP, IIM C, and ISI Kolkata take these factors into consideration along with your performance in the interview. These institutes assign a good volume of weightage to the entrance examination score. So, try to improve your test score as much as possible.

Does ISI Kolkata offers any undergraduate courses apart from B.Stat or B.Math?

NK
Naina Kaur Posted On : September 21st, 2021
B.Stat from Indian Statistical Institute,Kolkata (2017)

According to some of my friends from ISI Kolkata said it does offer undergraduate courses B.Stat or B.Math. Let me tell you some courses in detail for better insight.

Indian Statistical Institute offers the following two bachelor programs:

3-year B Stat (Honors):

  • The criterion for this is you require successful completion of Higher Secondary (10+2) or equivalent with Mathematics and English as subjects.
  • You will get a Stipend Rs.3000/- per month (Offered at Kolkata).

3-year B Math (Honors):

  • The criterion for this is you require successful completion of Higher Secondary (10+2) or equivalent with Mathematics and English as subjects.
  • Stipend Rs.3000/- per month (Offered at Bangalore).

Therefore, according to my friends, apart from these two undergraduate courses, ISI does not offer any other Bachelor Programs.
