Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum has unique blending of topics from bith pure and applied mathematics. The statistics portion covers the applied part and the analysis portion covers the pure maths part. The curriculum prepares one for the best positions in industry and in academia as well. The area of improvement can be making it a 4 year degree. The frequency of exams are quite high. Each week one has quizzes and assignments . Withing 2 months mid semester and within 4 months end semester. Exams are quite diffucult and 10% of a batch needs to repeat the year for failing.
Internships Opportunities
The internship offers are quite great. This year for summer internships the highest stipend was 2.5 Lakhs per month and the average was around 1 lakh per month . People do internships in industry and in labs of different institutions of national importance as well like IITs , IISERs , CMI , NISER etc.
Placement Experience
The placements are quite great. The highest package for M.stat people this year was 39 LPA ,for M.QROR was 63 LPA , for M.Math people was 36 LPA . The average of top 10% from each branch was nearly 80-90 of the highest package offered. All the students get placed whoever opts for placements in olace of higher studies. My plans after degree is to get placed un my dream MNC.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee structure of the course is 102500 per year in which 1 Lakh is Tuition fees and 2500 is other fee. Hence per year cost is 205000. While during counseling process one has to pay 20000 as the seat acceptance deposit to accept the offer which is refundable after completion of first semester. For students belonging to SC/ST categories the tuition fees is completely waived off adn hence they pay around 5000 per year . There is fee waiver available on the basis of parental income . For students having parental income between 1 to 5 lakhs the tuition fees is 66.67% waived off and for students having parental income below 1 lakh 100% tuition fees is waived off.
Campus Life
INTEGRATION is the annual fest which occurs in late january of each year. It has many extra curricular and academic activities as its components. A maths competition named MTRP is held for school students across the nation.
Admission
I chose ISI over IIT Madras because of the small batch size of ISI. Here people come from different backgrounds, not only from science fields. People here are great at problem solving and keep their passion above any thing else.
Faculty
The faculty to student ration varied from department to department . The average is around 1:15 which is quite great for student teacher interactions. All the faculties have their own research labs / offices and are approachable during academic hours. I liked Dr. Malay bhattacharyya so much because of his great teaching skills and unique approach to a problem. Each semester consists of at max 5 courses at the undergraduate level and each coyrse has 4-5 exams per semester. Out of them mid semester and end semester do have the most weightage . The academic framework is quite tough and well maintained. Hence studying one night before exams doesn't work here .
Other Applied Colleges
IIT Madras - Indian Institute of Technology - [IITM] | Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering)
I found ISI kolkata more relevant
