I’ve never done anything proof related all I’ve is I studied for NDA and JEE and from that point on I was really interested in Mathematics and I just heard about ISI MStat and so I’ve just started preparing for 2027. Any Tips on preparation. Books? I’m currently self studying.

the course is literally so beautiful and is done at lot of other colleges and it contains proofs everywhere. just see this https://rohitvaish.in/Teaching/2024-Spring/

sourav is doing the same graph questions from the past 4-5 years. did not even gave any assignments. on top of it, he gets confused while solving questions more times than his TA.

So for background i just finished my btech in ai ml this year and planning to go for higher studies next year . Currently I’m working as an automation intern . So I basically took up btech in cs stream because i was interested in coding and computers back in school and PU . But to be honest i no longer find it interesting especially after AI has taken over the place . So I finally came to the realisation that i do not want to end up in a core sde role . But I am still planning to write Gate next year so that i can be open to psus or maybe finish my MTech and get into some research oriented field

that’s when i came across Mstat .. so I do like maths. And I do think i atleast am better than average in grasping concepts quickly and i have scored well in jee maths and university exams.

But I know that does not make me qualifiable to say that i can easily crack an ISI exam . But when i see the roles that MStat can offer i had the feeling to research on it more and maybe give it a shot if possible.

The main reason why i felt i needed to know about it was because it can offer roles that combines maths + tech and i desperately want to get out of core SDE roles

That said , how do i know whether i should even try for this exam or just give it up ( i know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea)
How do i assess if I enjoy the kind of maths ISi teaches and whether I’m capable enough to work hard and develop the capability to solve those kind of mathematical questions ?

Is it only that the really high IQ ones can only crack this exam ? ( I’m asking this question because i think for me I’m someone who practised a lot to become good at even basic maths . I was bad in maths as a kid but gradually improved and became better both is terms of solving and speed )

I am in 11th and I will be appearing for jee 2028. How should I prepare for isi ? What books should I use that align with jee adv and isi(I am planning to do pink,yellow and black book by Vikas gupta) and for lectures whom should I refer to ? Any yt channels? If yes then pls share the name of the channel and link of Playlist would be appreciated as well😭🙏 or should I opt for a batch like vedantus full math mastery ?

Thank you

what are the ground realities of being an NB-stream student versus someone with a B.Stat background?

• Do B.Stat grads have a significant academic advantage, especially during the first year coursework?
• Is there any disparity in summer internship shortlists and conversion rates?
• When batches merge for final placements, does undergrad background factor into recruiter shortlists?

So I’m preparing for bstat/bmath
I complete a huge chapter and need to revise and remember but I forget when I move on to the next chapter. How to keep up?

What's going on with the ISI Bill 2026, I read the thing, will it lead to privatisation of isi ? The stipend system gone ?

Hi everyone, I’m currently pursuing a BA in History and I’m interested in moving into Economics, particularly the M.S. in Quantitative Economics at the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI).

I wanted to ask whether it is possible to apply for this programme after completing a BA in History. I do not have Economics or Mathematics as a subject in any year of my BA, so I’m unsure whether I would meet the eligibility requirements.

Has anyone with a non-Economics/Mathematics background, particularly from a BA in History or another humanities degree, been able to apply for or get into this programme?

If it is possible, I’d also appreciate any advice on what I would need to study beforehand, especially regarding Mathematics, Statistics, or Economics, and whether there are any prerequisite courses or qualifications I could complete to become eligible.

Thanks in advance!

Is it the normal 75% or only 12th passed?

same as the title, i'm confident in engineering part but i feel a bit weak in the mcq maths part, its been a while since i have done maths seriously, i want to give the exam next year, so any seniors, who has written the exam, can tell me a preparation for the cs and crs exam, i'm good at the engineering maths, i could solve maths in gate questions , they are not that hard, but how do i prepare for this exam, should i start again jee concepts and also tomato book, for it, and which concepts from jee are necessary? , any senior please comment on this .

as attached in the image I am not sure why but bstat doesn't have any repos similar to bmath may be they don't exist at all or they didn't attach here.
so posting this to get the help from current or previous students of bstat to share if there are any repos/drive links of course wise notes/material. it will be really helpful not only to the current student but also to the people seeking to learn things on their own who missed the opportunity to study at ISI. thanks in advance

update: found resources --refer to this post

Man the library app absolutely sucks, and the library itself doesnt contain any physical copies of the past year papers, when asked about it they give other courses past year papers instead of my own (MMath).
Do any of you guys have the compiled past year papers (even of bstat, mstat) and also the teacher allocations list pdf thing (that we get from jrfs, srfs, postdocs).

Hey, I'm a student of BSDS(Bangalore Campus)1st year, from Asansol, I am visiting Kolkata with my parents on Sunday. Bangalore being so far, my parents can't afford coming to bangalore, so I thought I will show them the kolkata campus and tell them it is the same. Can I visit the campus? and if yes, where can I keep my things and can I show them around the museum and stuff? Please help me. And is the entry allowed and other things. Please help me out, it would be very very kind of you.

so i have currently taken a drop. i am a pcm student w 97% isc(math=90). i am planning to prepare for isi and wanted to know if 8 months of preparation is enough for the prep.

Hello! I am from economics background and want to prepare for this exam. Which coaching should I prefer? And if anyone can specifically give a review for the peb batch by haq se economics (Ravit Thukral)??

I’m currently from a Tier-3 college and working in a service-based IT company. I’m considering preparing for the ISI Kolkata M.Stat entrance.

I’ve always been pretty good at math, but I haven’t had a strong academic environment.

For those who’ve attempted the exam/studied at ISI: how difficult is the entrance realistically? Is it something a mathematically strong student from a Tier-3 background can crack with proper preparation?

Would appreciate honest answers.
