About college

It's awesome. If you want to study Stat or Math, it is one of the best places for you in India(for Stat it's undoubtedly best). Academics is tough but if you attend all classes, that shouldn't be an issue.

The course of M.Math is one of the best in India, and may be challenged by only IISC, CMI,and TIFR. We have midterm, quiz/class test/hw sessions and an end term. End term consists of at least 50% marks. There's back paper at the end of each semester to clear your backlogs of that sem. If you fail at backpaper too, you can either take a remedial exam at the end of the year, or repeat the whole year. The only drawback is one may have to repeat a whole year for just one course.

M.Math students are mainly focused on research in pure Maths. But those who are interested in placement, get placed mainly in posts of Data Analyst or Finance Consultant in reputed companies. Our college holds a 100% record in placement. ISI provides internship opportunities, both academic and job-oriented. I have only attended SRFP at other institutes which give monthly 5k stipend, which is quite a lot for academic internships, if you ask me.

It's basically free. You don't have any tuition fees for any course. We only pay Rs. 2300 pm for food and hostel charges. Snacks and lunch daily cost around Rs. 10 and Rs. 8 respectively. In fact ISI gives Rs. 3000 pm stipend to bachelor students, Rs. 5000 pm to Master's students, who maintain score above 60%. Research Scholars get NET-directed funding, somewhat around 25k pm.

ISI offers Rs. 3000 pm stipend to its bachelors students, Rs. 5000 pm to masters students,and NET-standard stipend to research scholars. Bachelors, Masters and Research Scholars get contingency of Rs. 3k, Rs. 5k and Rs. 10k per year. INSPIRE and KVPY fellowships are also valid here.

We have a sports ground for Cricket, Football, and athletics. We have a badminton court, a volleyball court and also a basketball court, which is also used as a tennis court sometimes. We don't have a regular sports culture but we often play friendlies with neighbouring RV College and Bangalore University students.

Hostel Infrastructure is a bit lacklustre. Electricity charges are included in the fixed room rent. We have washing machines @ all the hostels. We also have free Wi-Fi with speed upto 5 MBPS but it gets interrupted during weekends. We also have a night canteen to satisfy our midnight cravings.

Our alumni are placed at several academic positions at universities across the world. Seniors are very helpful. They help you to get accustomed to the environment after class 12. They helped us academically a lot.

ISI holds an entrance exam yearly for admission to its various courses. It consists of a written, and then an interview round. I was selected for B.Math.B.Math/B.Stat students with good marks automatically qualify for M.Math/M.Stat.

The Stat-Math Unit is the only one of its kind in India, researching on both pure math and applied statistics. Stat Professors are best in India, as it is the sole institute of national importance for specialization in Stat. Our Math professors are also distinguished in their respective fields.
