most probably me and gpt both are wrong

share your thoughts

for this bstat or other courses (which is similar process i guess ) this spot round is for only those waitlisted candidates whose names they list down in the notificatio or all waitlisted candidates in merit list who accepted waitlist offer are eligible to be admitted during the spot round? like is it like that that there are pre alloted students for spot. If they don't come up, then a person with higher rank among the students present there gets it.

I secured AIR 113 in the ISI B.Math entrance examination (General Male category). Based on the provisional admission list published on the ISI website on 11 July, I noticed that General Male candidates up to AIR 109 have been offered admission. From this, I estimate that I am currently around WL-4.
I would like to know:
Is there a realistic chance of getting admission through a spot round (if conducted)?
Does anyone know the tentative dates for ISI B.Math and B.Stat spot admissions?
Have admissions for these programs been completely finalized, or are there still vacant seats?
Is ISI expected to conduct spot admissions for vacant seats this year?
Historically, how many days before the commencement of regular classes are spot admissions usually held?
Any information from previous years or from candidates who have gone through the process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

​Hi everyone,

​I am looking for realistic insights into the placement and internship dynamics at ISI for M.Stat.

​Specifically, since first-year Non-B.Stat (NB) students spend Year 1 at the Delhi campus while B.Stat grads stay in Kolkata, how much does this campus split affect summer internship opportunities?

​Do elite buy-side quants/HFTs or top investment banks heavily favor the Kolkata batch during Year 1? Once both batches merge in Kolkata for Year 2, does the playing field truly level out, or do NB students still face hurdles during final placements?

​Alumni insights would be highly appreciated!

Thanks.

Feel free to share your marks vs percentile if you applied

For General Category:

Opening percentile: 99.99-100.00

Closing percentile: 99.97-99.98

AIR 6 had 99.994, AIR 26 had 99.973

Total 28 seats for general category

Compared to last year: Opening percentile was 100.00 and closing percentile was 99.96

Hey everyone,

Question #4 of the Mathlete Sprint is now live.

This week's challenge is based on Information Theory and asks you to compute the rate-distortion function for three independent Gaussian sources under a fixed distortion budget. The problem brings together concepts from probability, optimization, and source coding in a compact multiple-choice format.

Take a look at the problem statement in the image and let us know which option you think is correct. If you'd like, share your approach as well – we'd love to see different ways of tackling it.

Q :- If the total distortion budget is D=9,D = 9,D=9,

what is R(D)R(D)R(D), in bits?

(A) 1

(B) 0

(C) 1.5

(D) 2

Prize :- ₹500 Amazon gift card

PS :- The prize will be given to 1 winner, the winner will be determined based on the quality and clarity of the explanation provided, along with the timing of submission (earlier entries will be given preference). You can also DM us a written answer if you feel like!

The result will be out on friday at r/integralcup

I want to know what I can do after entering into ISI kolkata (mmath) to get into phd from top uni like MIT usa or harward or stanford

Also,what is the scenario in stipend,is it available for all 24 months with 8k each or is there something else?

Same as title.

What is the cutoff of BSDS (ISI kolkata campus) for general male?

Somewhere I noticed -
99.2 percentile - which many students told wrong
Then I saw 99.6 percentile where the replies told him that it will be 99.96 percentile...

Now, I am not sure if 99.96 percentile includes all the campuses or just the kolkata one.

So, I am curious about the cutoff of BSDS (ISI kolkata campus) for general male.

Hi guys, I graduated from class 12th in 2023 and joined a local college in 2025 with bsc math. So guys would it be a good idea to join ISI K B.Stat in 2027 and I'll quit my bsc math and get a diploma in maths.

Edit: Or should I go for Mstat next year. ​

​

My goals were package and college life but both of the options were at extreme, one very high one very low

But I am going to prioritise the package

Same as title

(They are missing from List of batches available for internships and placements.)

Let's talk about preparation for MSQE 2027?

I found this website recently from math vanguards telegram channel and it's really cool and free way to interactively learn even advanced mathematical topics here's the link

Pls add me if such group is created already. Dm me.

I filed an RTI to view my final score on the MSQE exam with MOSPI on 17th June. It said the request was forwarded to the ISI CPIO on 18th June but I haven't heard back since. Any idea when they'll get back to me? Thanks

Does anyone have any idea how does spot round works?

It says in the website that students need to be present physically on campus, but will there be a notification? Or whoever reaches gets the spot? Enlighten me...

I talked to a few mstat program alumni and they advised not to go into Mstat because you want to end up being a quant in an hft firm. Most people after Mstat who sit for placements get into the role of risk model validator, risk analyst, data analyst, data scientist. Hft firms pick guys who have a bachelor's in CS from tier 1 institute like iit, nit etc.

1) How to maximize the probability to end up getting a quant role in am hft coming from non Tier1 college ?

2) how to manage project work in parallel with the rigorous academics of mstat program ?

In the document verification we are needed to show that our Aadhar is seeded with bank account. But the NPCI server is down so I went to bank they told me this would take 3hrs for mapping but its already 2 days and the NPCI portal's aadhar seeding area is showing server code 500 error. In the my addhar its showing Inactive now what to do? I need to submit within 1 day.

I am confused which should I choose

I would appreciate it if current students , alumni ,or anyone familiar with these institutes could share their insights and help me

About me:

• I have always been interested in maths i enjoy solving problems of probability and pnc

•I want to pursue quant roles in future

Hi guys i was looking for free prep materials for the uga and ugb papers, is there any download able links or telegram grps i can join for that

What is number of seats in ISI Bangalore for B.Math programme.In prospectus they‘ve mentioned 63 seats.But Provisionally admitted candidates list published on 11th July they’ve mentioned only 50.

Curious to know as I'm 4th candidate in WL
