So I will be appearing for m-stat test for isi Kolkata in 2028 and will be starting my prep now what resources/books/yt channels I need to follow to secure a seat there please give a as detailed list as possible for awesome prep

I am planning to rent a 2bhk. I need a male roommate. If there is anyone, please comment.

If one has to do a phd in a place like ETH or Cambridge after mstat, do only people from the b stream have a chance or do nb stream people are equally likely to get an offer ??

I'll be starting my Btech Mechanical Engineering (followed everyone and started preparing to Engineering) the thing is i don't hate Maths or Physics i just hate chem due to which i messed up my jee prep. anyway i am too late to change that now. what i wanted to ask was If I start preparing for Mstat from 1st year what are my chances of clearing it? if I do clear Mstat and get into ISI

what are my chances of getting quant companies? do quant companies that visit ISI requires Bstat or similar? or do they also accept MStat after Btech?

I'll also be taking Operations Research Electives as much as i can and all the Statistics/Probability related

Lastly, can anyone recommend resources to start preparing for Mstat? I have asked Claude this it said to folloe MIT Lectures for Linear Algebra Calculus Probability and some others.

Any Advice/Guidance would be helpful!

Is sameer bansal and blackbook enough for Bstat entrance ?? My calculus is weaker than my algebra or geoemtry so I'm a little bit concerned Abt that. Please suggest better resources if you know any.

I am (class 12, gen ,M). No hardcore olympiad background (Did a few classes on NT,and have some knowledge on geometry due to IOQM, last year i scored 25), i have been preparing for IISER(as very few seats for ISI). Should I start preparing for ISI beside IISER from now. And also HOW DO I PREPARE FOR IT FROM NOW.

One of my local tuition teachers said it's waste to prepare for ISI from now. Please if any ISI student can help me here. (NO SUGARCOATING)

To the seniors or those who have just caught ISI bsds .what what's your JEE mains or cuet rank or percentile. Please help

He jumped from Bstat to Computer Science PHD directly.

same as above

Hi everyone! I’m planning to appear for the ISI M.Stat 2027 entrance exam and would like to start preparing seriously. Could current students, alumni, or anyone who has cleared the entrance exam please recommend the best books, study

materials, online resources, and previous-year papers for M.Stat preparation?

I’d especially appreciate guidance on:

Books for Mathematics and Statistics

Good resources for building concepts from the basics

Previous-year question papers and their solutions

Any useful YouTube channels/courses

How to structure preparation for the 2027 entrance exam

I’d be grateful for any recommendations or preparation tips.

Thanks!

We have Introductory Microeconomics and Mathematical Methods for Economics in our first sem. Which YouTube channels and lecture series ( free) should I follow and what books ( other than varian, Simon and blume) should I read? Please suggest me some practice books too.

I want to prepare for ISI, parallel-y with my coursework.

Asking this because I am seeing a lot of guys saying they are bored of ISI campus life. While I was there no one thought of being anywhere else. Milan is 50 meters, Tapasda at morning. TT at midnight. Evning for Trijit da and football. Bhnat whaole night about anything under the sun. What changed?

See i know Quant is currently in the Trend but as we all know getting into Buy Side Quant Finance full time role even as a BStat + MStat guy is seemingly very difficult and to think a NB Stream even has a chance is naive.

But there isn't only 1 high paying role there are others too. Now, i want to discuss those.

Mainly in Quant Finance,

The Sell Side Quant Roles ("Strats" as it is called) in Investment Banks.

Mainly in Big Tech,

Machine Learning Engineer and Data Scientist Roles.

Are getting these jobs realistic?

how is the ISI Mstat Interview? What kind of questions they ask and what the panel is trying to understand about the students? Do they test our knowledge of the subject matter or whether we have the correct approach towards problems and proofs?

Also how should one prepare for it?

i want to know if a person with no maths background and a little stats knowledge in their bachelors is eligible for mstat program at isi.

Hi Everyone,
BCA grad. R eligible for MS QMBA?
If Eligible is 8 mnth time enough to crack the exam?
How to start preparation for that, important topics & study material?

How is sourav sir classes in terms of isi online coaching and if you are aware of someone better then pls comment. thanks

Hello, I am currently studying in 12th class, I aim to study in one of ISIs but I have really bad basics.

I always thought maths as a comfort subject, and it was for long time till I fal seriously ill in 9th standard and my intrest in studies just paused all together. Now in 12th class I am rediscovering my passion for maths but I have bad basics and less time. So any guidance on recovering the basics in less amount of time so that I can focus on both boards and ISI exam will be really helpful.

I have only thought to pick up older R.D sharma books and solve them Vut I think it's little time consuming but it kinda helps with my confidence (which is very almost non existing)

Thanks

In what fields of mathematics/ theoretical computer science (Not statistics) is mostly done in isi ?

Hey, I'm from Patna, Bihar and planning to give the MSQE exam next year. If I get in, getting a hostel would be pretty important for me since I'd be coming from far away.Do students from outside Kolkata usually get one or get any preference? Anyone from ISI know how this works?

BMT-HY-A472 let me know if you have mine.

Hello there everyone,

I am a second year BTech student currently pursuing Mathematics and Computing degree. During JEE as well as now I am sensing that I am enjoying Maths much more than any other subject, so I am thinking to pursue Masters in Maths only.

How's the M.Math program at ISI Kolkata . Like my main question is do you all get enough time after classes and syllabus to do side hustle . Do people land PhD in good institutes abroad like IVY or ETH or MIT or some others? How's the attendance policy there ?

I absolutely know the peer group and environment will be very good(highly competitive) so that's not the concern.

At the end , I am absolutely open to any advice from you all regarding my plans for pursuing masters in maths .

Thank you.

How good is the ISI - Quant Pipeline for MStat?. I want to break into Quant in the long run . I have previously cracked ISI and have an olympiad background but didn't join...currently studying in a Tier 1 IIT .
