Common questions

Powered by AI

Applicants must first access the ISI Admission Portal and create a login account. They have to fill out the application form, upload a digital copy of their photograph and signature, and ensure that the images meet specific size requirements . After completing the application, candidates are directed to the State Bank of India Collect website for fee payment, which can be made through NetBanking, Debit/Credit Card, or by Challan . Payment can only be done after two working days from application completion. Once the payment is verified, applicants need to check the ADMISSION STATUS at the ISI Admission Portal for fee verification . The final step is to generate and print the admit card notifying them of the test details .

After completing the online application, payment for application fees is processed through the State Bank of India Collect website, using methods like NetBanking, Debit/Credit Card, or by Challan for cash payment at SBI Branches . Applicants must wait at least two working days post-application before making payment, and similar to processing of fee verification, another two days minimum must be allowed . The exact deadlines for payment are from February 9, 2018, to March 11, 2018 .

The test center codes (e.g., AG for Agartala, BG for Bengaluru) streamline the administrative process, enabling both ISI and candidates to easily identify and reference locations . Similarly, test codes (e.g., BSTK, JSTK) designate specific tests for different programs, guiding candidates to register for the correct exams essential for their desired courses . These codes are integral for sorting, scheduling, and managing applicants across various centers and ensure clarity and efficiency in handling widespread, complex data.

Undergraduate programs like B.Stat and B.Math consist of a forenoon session with a Mathematics MCQ test (UGA) and an afternoon session with a Mathematics Descriptive test (UGB). In contrast, postgraduate programs, such as M.Stat and M.Math, include Math and Statistics MCQs (like PSA for M.Stat) followed by a descriptive test in the relevant subjects (like PSB for M.Stat). Additionally, other postgraduate programs like MS (QE) include both Mathematics and Economics MCQ sections .

ISI specifies that any disputes regarding admissions for the 2018-19 session will be settled in Kolkata, under the jurisdiction of the Kolkata High Court . This choice of jurisdiction not only indicates ISI's operational base and centralized administration location but also provides a clear legal pathway to handle grievances and ensures consistency in legal interpretations related to ISI admission policies. By limiting jurisdiction to Kolkata, ISI can streamline their legal processes and reduce ambiguities that might arise from multi-jurisdictional case handling.

Candidates who do not appear for the admission tests will not be considered for admission to the programs offered by the Indian Statistical Institute . Performance in these tests is necessary for shortlisting candidates for interviews, which contribute to the final selection process, subject to verifying eligibility with original documents .

Applicants applying under reserved categories are required to provide specific supporting documents, such as caste certificates for Scheduled Caste/Tribes or Other Backward Classes (Non-Creamy Layer), or disability certificates issued by the appropriate authority . OBC-NCL certificates must be issued after April 1, 2017, to be valid for the 2018-19 session .

Applicants who have completed or are near completion of their qualifying examinations may still apply and their admission will be provisional pending the announcement of results. However, they must complete their final examinations by July 31, 2018, or as the Institute may decide to extend this date . If it is discovered that applicants do not satisfy eligibility requirements or have supplied incorrect application information, their application can be canceled .

The JRF admission tests vary by discipline. For example, the Statistics program includes descriptive tests in math and statistics for both forenoon and afternoon sessions . Mathematics includes descriptive tests as well. Quantitative Economics combines math and economics with descriptive formats . In contrast, Computer Science candidates take math MCQs in the forenoon, and descriptive tests covering a wide range of subjects including math, statistics, and computer science in the afternoon . These variations ensure that evaluations are tailored to the specific disciplinary requirements and competences expected of candidates.

ISI requires OBC-NCL certificates to be issued after April 1, 2017, ensuring that they reflect the current non-creamy layer status. This helps maintain the fairness and validity of the reservation by using updated and accurate certifications. Caste and disability certificates must be issued by an appropriate authority to be considered valid .
