Remarks

Most student friendly campus I've ever seen. Every one is eager to help.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

It's at par with any of the premier institute. For Computer science they had courses such as Computer Architecture, Operating Systems, Algorithm, Optimization , Discrete Math, compiler, VLSI -cad etc.

Internships Opportunities

ISI provides stipend during the course work. Students go outside the campus for internship. Based on their interest, they either prefer industry or prefer school for their internship.

Placement Experience

3.5

Since I've graduated long time back, I don't have exact figures. Interested people may visit it's website, for current status.

College Events

Technical symposium keeps on happening there. IndoCrypt is one of them. Researcher for various university keeps visiting here and they deliver lecture on vogue topic.

Fee Structure And Facilities

If I remember correctly, students needs to pay admission fees at the time of admission. Rest College pays stipend. But those who resides in hostels, they have to bear hostel+mess charges.

Fees and Financial Aid

You don't need extra loan to finance the course. Having said that, there are several scholarships awarded to those who excels in the course and wanna go in the research filed.

Campus Life

One of the quietest campus. I guess people are busy studying. But they are dull boy. There are inter division football tournament, Badminton games, volly-ball matches. They have annual cultural program named "Integration" .

Hostel Facilities

I didn't stayed at the hostel. So won't be able to give you gory details. But that's not gonna be too rosey, I guess.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Students are well placed all over the world in industry and research field as well. And they do organize Alumni meet. Seniors helps in recruitment process.

Exam Structure

Semester wise Exams. There can be open-book test also. Exams are pretty simple, if study properly.

Faculty

3.5

Some of the best known faculty in their Respective field. Some of them are IEEE fellows. Some of them got Santi Swarup Bhatnagar award for their outstanding contribution.

Like IBM, puma, ICC bank, Deloitte, ABG, Lenovo, etc. highest package is about 2.68 crore per annum, average 15lpa According to different profiles. Students should have more than 8.5 cgpa for good placements. I will join a good company after completing the degree.

Remarks:

I can't complaint about studies. But it needs to improve the food quality provided by the mess. Students selected based on the voting for several responsibilities like sports, mess, maintenance etc are not doing their job properly.

A brief discussion on ISI, Kolkata

Reason for preferring this college over others: I wished to study statistics and Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) is considered to be one of the best institutes in India to study mathematics and statistics. That is why I decided to take admission here. Admission process:(I) The written exam includes an objective paper(UGA) containing 30 questions and a subjective paper(UGB) containing 8 questions. If a student scores above the cut off marks in UGA (which varies from year to year but is typically between 65 to 80 out of 120) then his/her solutions for UGB will be checked. (II) Suppose the student got x in UGA and y in UGB. If ax+by(where a and b(a<b) are specified but varies year to year) is greater than a specified cutoff, then he/she will be selected for interview. (III) If the student scores z in the interview and his/her total score ax+by+cz(c will be specified but is usually greater than a+b) is above a certain cutoff then his/her name will be published in the merit list. However, the final selection and admission will take place according to the rank on the merit list.Good aspects: The professors have clear and in-depth knowledge of the subject and they teach based on their research experience. Huge emphasis is given in the understanding of the basic concepts. Amazing collection of books and journals in the library. Scope to attend seminars on theoretical, applied as well as interdisciplinary research. The canteen food is good as well.Bad aspects: Too much academic pressure, you cannot afford to study only weeks before exam and have to study throughout the year, from every batch on an average 5 students have to repeat an academic year and 2-3 students get chucked out of the institute. Unlike many other institutes ISI does not have various clubs that can help one with their personality development....Read More
