How is the ISI Bangalore centre as compared to ISI Kolkata for Bachelor course?

ISI is an Institution that is controlled by a single governing body but has different centers, unlike IITs which are governed by independent bodies. This means, no matter if you study from any branch of ISI like Bangalore, Delhi, or Chennai, you will be awarded a degree from ISI Kolkata only because that’s the headquarters. Therefore it makes no difference between the curriculum and value of both ISI Kolkata and Bangalore. The only difference between the institutes lies in the course that they offer. ISI Bangalore offers Bachelor’s course in Mathematics whereas, ISI Kolkata offers Bachelors course in Statistics. So, the choice of institute totally depends on whether you are interested in statistics or mathematics.

Is ragging prevalent in ISI Kolkata and Bangalore? If yes, then to what extent? Which year is it done in?

One of my cousins is a recent alumnus of ISI Kolkata and mentions that there have never been any complaints regarding ragging. Most essentially, there is a legitimate reason behind these institutions being different from many others. That being said, ISI, CMI, IISC, IMSC, TIFR, and HRI are mostly different from every institute because they are primarily research-oriented. The list also incorporates IIT, NIT, BITS, IISER, NISER. These institutions are completely free of the Students Unions Ragging, students clubs, and more.

What are reviews about ISI (Indian Statistical Institute) placements and MS programmes at centres in Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata?

Having to know some people studying at both Simsree and KJ Somaiya and here are some things that you should know. They both are equally good. Both the institutes, for their MMS course, teach the same syllabus specified by the University of Mumbai. So, according to the content, there is no difference. This is generally a good thing that you are specializing in something that roughly 4 to 5% of the batch will specialize in. It is not as difficult for the placement committee to get companies with specific profiles. The institutes have been there for a fairly long time and both have a steady pool of recruiters. Therefore, placements are not very problematic. Having said that, placements depend on multiple factors, and nothing can be guaranteed. K J Somaiya has more full-time faculty members whereas SIMSREE has more visiting faculty members. But cannot say the same about the operations specialization. Irrespective of where you go, your responsibility is to get better, participate in competitions, do certifications, and improve yourself holistically. The institute cannot impose anything if you have no intention of doing it.

Should I take up math and computing at IIT Delhi, or B.Math at ISI Bengaluru?

Whether you should opt for MnC at IIT Delhi or B.Math at ISI Bangalore depends on what you want from your graduation and your career prospects. Academically both institutes are excellent and none is better than the other. So my answer entails the drastic difference in the curriculum and scope of the two programs. Bachelor of Mathematics, ISI Bengaluru This program has high-tech mathematical stuff and purely focuses on Mathematics. The Institute is smaller than IIT Delhi and ideal for those who have a single passion in life, Maths. The coursework consists of abstract algebra, analysis, probability theory, and so on. Additionally, it has compulsory courses in Statistics, Probability, and Physics as well. Although it offers some CS courses also, the program does not focus on Computer Science much. Math and Computing (MnC), IIT Delhi The curriculum of the MnC program is more inclined toward computer science than Mathematics. The program focuses more on applied mathematics, rather than pure mathematics. As a result, graduates from this course can start jobs earlier than those from ISI. In a nutshell, if you are willing to go for higher education and research in mathematics, then ISI should be your goal. If you are a person interested in the practical application of concepts and want to eventually be employed in a company, then IIT Delhi is the best place for you.

Which certification course is the best for project management, IIM Rohtak or Six Sigma Green Belt from Indian Statistical Institute?

Both the certification courses PMP and SSGB fall under the Operations domain yet are very different in reality. PMP: This course facilitates handling and delivering projects efficiently and quickly. If you are interested in Project Management, the best option is the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification which is affiliated with Project Management Institute, PMI, USA. It also provides PDUs. SSBM: This course facilitates proper optimization of business processes, minimizing waste and time wastage. If you are interested in the Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB), then Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata is the best option available. Some even think ISI Pune is good yet I will recommend you to go for Kolkata itself.

ISI Bangalore About

The Bangalore Centre of the Indian Statistical Institute was conceived by Prof. P.C. Mahalanobis during the 1960s, even when the city was emerging as a center of science. It is a tribute to his foresight that the Institute is now well-established in one of the most vibrant scientific communities in Asia.

Due to the difficult times that ISI went through after the professor's death in 1972, the project of establishing Bangalore was temporarily shelved. It was left to Professor Kallianpur, the Director of ISI during 1976-78, to revive the idea, make concrete proposals to the Government of India and get grants for the development of the land already in possession of the Institute and the construction of an Academic Block with space for a library and offices. With the completion of the construction of the Administrative Block, the various units moved to the new campus in May 1985. However, it was only in September 1996, the Bangalore Centre was formally declared as a Centre of ISI.

Which is better ISI Bangalore or ISI Kolkata?

ISI is an Institution that is controlled by one governing body but has different centers. And you will get your degree from ISI Kolkata only if you study in Bangalore, Delhi, and Chennai center also because that’s the headquarter of ISI. So, there is no difference between ISI Kolkata & Bangalore. ISI Bangalore has India’s “BEST” Bachelor’s course in Mathematics & ISI Kolkata has India’s “BEST” Bachelors’s course in Statistics. That is only the difference.
