Read Full ReviewThere was a written test based on which a merit list was prepared and accordingly counselling was also held. There was no interview or group discussion for the college admission. The written test comp4ised only maths, total of 30 questions.
Read Full ReviewI was initially very interested in Mathematics and statistics. I was very intrigued by how we interpret so much data from just a single graph or pie chart. I wanted to explore further into this domain of statistics. I also aimed to to become a data analyst. So when I started my search for how can I achieve my aim then I found out about the isi college which is known as the best college for statistics.
Read Full Reviewone have to appear an objective pattern admission test in mathematics with questions similar to JEE level. I prepared for this by solving the book prescribed by ISI Kolkata , i.e. The Test Of Mathematics At 10+2 Level.
Read Full ReviewLess people in the college is a good point leading to a bit less crowd and the uniqueness of the degree is a great factor. The college is lush green and beautiful with a lot of lakes. Seniors are always there to help us. It's the best place to learn stats and maths. I wouldn't say I liked the social aspect here because nothing is done on a bigger scale. Also, regarding the entrance, it has two parts, uga and ugb. The uga part is objective and ugb is tough and subjective. The cutoff for gen is a rank of about 55. I prepared for the exam by studying Olympiad books, which helped me a lot along with jee prep.
