ISI Admission Test Application Form 2027: Registration Expected Feb 2027, How to Apply and Eligibility

The ISI Admission Test is conducted by the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes — including B.Stat (Hons.), B.Math (Hons.), M.Stat, M.Math, and MS (Quantitative Economics) — at ISI campuses in Kolkata, Delhi, and Bangalore. The ISI Admission Test 2027 application form is expected to open in February 2027 at admission.isical.ac.in — official 2027 dates have not yet been announced as of September 2026. Based on the 2026 cycle, the application fee is ₹1500 for General (Male), ₹1000 for General (Female), and ₹750 for SC/ST/OBC(NCL)/EWS/PwD students.

What is ISI Admission Test Application Form 2027?

The ISI Admission Test 2027 application form is the official online gateway to programmes at the Indian Statistical Institute — one of the most prestigious institutions for Statistics and Mathematics globally. You will fill and submit the form at admission.isical.ac.in to be considered for B.Stat (Hons.), B.Math (Hons.), M.Stat, M.Math, MS (Quantitative Economics), M.Tech (Computer Science), M.Tech (QROR), and related programmes across ISI’s Kolkata, Delhi, and Bangalore campuses.

ISI does not use NTA or any centralized national agency. The Indian Statistical Institute independently manages every stage — notification, application, admit card, result, and admission — through its own official portal. The 2027 form is expected to open in February 2027 based on the annual pattern; in 2026 the form opened on 12 February 2026 and the last date was extended to 26 March 2026.

Note: The ISI Admission Test 2027 application window has not yet opened as of September 2026. Bookmark this page and check admission.isical.ac.in regularly — the official notification is expected in December 2026 or January 2027.

ISI Admission Test Registration Trends — Last 5 Years

The Indian Statistical Institute does not publicly release year-on-year registration and appearance statistics for the ISI Admission Test. ISI offers fewer than 400 total seats across all programmes and campuses combined — making it one of the most selective entrance tests in India. The exam has historically been conducted at 38 test centres across the country, a footprint ISI is expected to maintain for the 2027 cycle. The selectivity of the test means interest remains consistently high relative to available seats, with Mathematics and Statistics students from across India and abroad applying each year.

How to Fill ISI Admission Test Application Form 2027

The ISI Admission Test 2027 application process will be conducted entirely online at admission.isical.ac.in. There is no offline mode. You will need to complete two phases: new registration, then form filling with document upload and fee payment.

1. Visit admission.isical.ac.in and click "New Registration" when the 2027 window opens.
2. Enter your name, date of birth, mobile number, and email ID exactly as they appear on your Class 10 certificate — any mismatch can cause problems during verification.
3. Verify your mobile number using the OTP sent via SMS, and confirm your email via the activation link sent to your inbox.
4. Set a strong password and note your Application Number carefully — you will need it for every future login, admit card download, result check, and counselling communication.
5. Keep your registered email accessible at all times — ISI sends all official communications (admit card, result, interview call) to this email.

Phase 2: Fill the Application Form

1. Log in at admission.isical.ac.in using your Application Number and Password.
2. Select the programme(s) you wish to apply for — B.Stat, B.Math, M.Stat, M.Math, MS (QE), etc. Different programmes may require you to sit for different test papers.
3. Fill in your personal details: full name, date of birth, gender, category (General/SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD), nationality, and domicile state.
4. Fill in your academic details: board name, year of passing or year of appearance, roll number, and marks — for Class 10 and 12 (UG applicants) or for your undergraduate degree (PG applicants).
5. Select your test centre preference from the list of available cities — ISI has historically offered approximately 38 centres across India.

Download and keep your confirmation page safe — it is required for admit card download, exam entry, and all further communications with ISI.

Documents Required for ISI Admission Test Application Form 2027

You will need to upload the following documents in digital format during the ISI Admission Test 2027 application. Keep all scanned copies ready before you begin filling the form — incomplete uploads can cause your session to time out.

Do not upload edited, filtered, or retouched photographs — ISI scrutinises uploaded images and rejects manipulated photos during form verification.

ISI Admission Test Application Fee 2027

The ISI Admission Test 2027 application fee is expected to be similar to the 2026 cycle. The fee structure below is sourced from the 2026 official notification — the exact 2027 fee will be confirmed when ISI publishes the official 2027 notification at admission.isical.ac.in.

If your payment fails, do not retry immediately — wait 48–72 hours for the auto-refund before making a fresh payment.

What You Cannot Correct

• Programme / Course Applied For — the programme selection is final once submitted. ISI does not allow changes to the programme through the correction window.
• Test Paper — the assigned test paper is linked to your programme and cannot be changed independently.
• Name, Date of Birth, Mobile Number, Email ID — these personal data fields are not editable through the online portal. For changes to these fields, contact ISI admissions by email with documentary proof.
