Remarks

Passion for Mathematical Sciences. The Indian Statistical Institute is one of the oldest and most acclaimed Institutions in the Country. The course also doesn't involve studying elective courses which are not related to mathematics.

Course Curriculum Overview

The Course Curriculum is quite tedious and doesn't leave one with much free time. But if you are a ardent mathematics lover like me, you won't face much problems. The course content is much more updated than any other Statistics course in this country. All faculties are extremely learned people and are the brains in this country.

Class Size: 31

Placement Experience

Most of the students stay after their Bachelor's for their Master's. After The Master's course is completed, students are offered placements. MNCs like Goldmann Sachs have visited our campus for this purpose. A large fraction of our students go for Ph.d in foreign Universities. Alumni network mainly consists of eminent professors in the top Institutes of the country (IITs, IISc, ISI) and also in foreign Universities. Since the batch strength is pretty small, all those who apply for a placement get placed. 100% placement is an unwritten rule of ISI.

College Events

Campus life is pretty good. The total strength of our Institute doesn't exceed 400 and compared to other colleges it's pretty small. But the environment inside is quite warm. Not much events are held in our Institute. Our annual fest "Integration" takes place every year in the last week of January. It's much smaller than those at the IITs but we all enjoy it.

Campus Life

Library and the wifi services are quite good. Labs are very well equipped just like any other Central Government Institution. Sports facilities are not that good. There is only one football field inside the campus. A lot of improvement has to be done in this aspect.

Hostel Facilities

Hostels are pretty well equipped. Wifi and LAN connections are stable and fast. We have a canteen in the ground floor and a TV room as well. Single rooms with attached baths are allotted to students. When there is a lack of rooms in the hostel, students are asked to pair up but that is temporary.

Faculty is serious and everything happens on time with proper functioning.
I liked the food of my hostel Raman abas that's unique because hostel generally provide average food.
I liked my batchmates, seniors and my hostel mates. They're just love.

Dislikes

The hostel and faculty infrastructure is very old need replacement asap.
Rural location of colleges so urban access of blinkit,zomato etc is unavailable.
Placement numbers here is too short university need to work on that.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Honestly, I was preparing for neet but after neet i was very clear that i want to do this(Agriculture). Practical cum theory approach here will make you a awared man in this field. Placements and Governments seats after UG is very competitive although. In upcoming future everyone will going to focus on larger production in limited land/cultivation area so Agriculture will be needed today and tomorrow.

My Experience at Jaipuria to summed it up.

Likes

Quality education and an academically enriching environment. Most importantly, well- versed professors.
Extra- curriculum activities, along with an active sports cell and NCC, and usually various opportunities to participate in Inter-College Competitions.
Well maintained gym with separate timings for girls and boys. The canteen offers a wide variety of foods at an affordable price.

Dislikes

For my department, there was no educational excursion.
Negligence internship opportunities are available for my course.
Only some placement opportunities are available, and companies like TCS and Wipro came up for campus placement.

Course Curriculum Overview:

My passion and a bit of curiosity in International Relations led me to choose this course. The curriculum, in fact, prepared me well for further academic pursuits. For improvement, educational excursions and internship opportunities should be made available. The exam is held twice a year on semester basis, with papers set at a moderate to difficult level.

Likes

The faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. Most teachers explain concepts clearly and are approachable after class for doubts and guidance, which helps a lot during exams.
The college has a disciplined academic environment with regular classes and practical sessions. Laboratories are functional and help students understand concepts through hands-on learning.
The campus environment is calm and student-friendly. Various seminars, cultural programs, and academic activities help in overall personality development.

Dislikes

Industry exposure and internship guidance are minimal, which could be improved to make students more job-ready after graduation.
Infrastructure can be improved, especially classrooms and laboratory equipment. Some facilities feel outdated and require modernization.
Placement opportunities for BSc students are limited. The college focuses more on academics, so students need to prepare for higher studies or competitive exams on their own.

Placement Experience:

The average package offered for such roles ranges between ?2–3 LPA, while the highest package offered to a BSc student is around ?4 LPA, depending on skills and specialization. Overall, around 15–20% of BSc students get placed through campus drives, and many students rely on off-campus opportunities.

The course is very affordable, especially compared to private colleges. With scholarships, it becomes accessible for students from middle and lower income backgrounds.

Dislikes

The infrastructure needs improvement. Classrooms and common areas could be better maintained and modern facilities are limited.
There are very few placement opportunities for arts students.
Although some academic events take place, extracurricular activities and active student societies could be improved for better campus life.

Placement Experience:

There are limited on campus placement opportunities here, especially for Arts and Eng Hons students. Most students focus on higher studies, competitive exams or off campus opportunities after graduation. The college provides basic guidance through teachers but formal placement drives are rare.

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
