A typical day at ISI Kolkata looks something like the following. 

  • Most students usually wake up around 8 am, have breakfast, and get ready for classes around 9:45 am. 
  • Classes start at 10:05 am. There’s a lunch break from 12:55 pm to 2:15 pm. Classes resume after the lunch break. 
  • After classes students usually come back to hostels and unwind.

The career prospect of doing M.Tech in Quality Reliability and Operations Research from ISI Kolkata can be divided into two parts, i.e. jobs and placements. You don’t need to worry about job prospects, you will get placement offers as a Business analyst or Data scientist with a similar CTC of top b-school graduates. According to the 2021 ISI Kolkata placement highlight, the average CTC offered was INR 19 LPA. 

Doing Ph.D. or higher studies can be difficult, especially if you are planning on going overseas. It’s better if you choose the Industrial Engineering domain. It will aline with QROR. If you are interested in Data Science or Machine Learning domain, you can consider doing some projects. ISI offers ample opportunities for such projects.

ISI Kolkata has a great M.Tech CS program in terms of academics and placements. 

If you are from a Computer Science background, then you would have already studied most of the subjects covered in first year. During the second year, you will have the freedom to choose courses based on your interest. ISI is particularly reputed for Cryptography. But you can find other interesting thesis topics in Machine Learning, VLSI, Cognitive Science, Image Processing, etc. If your area of interest matches any of these, you will easily find a good research guide. 

ISI is famous for Statistics, hence the name Indian Statistical Institute. So, ISI Kolkata M.Tech CS placement includes great Data Science profiles. You will have plenty of opportunities in the Data Science sector. But it’s hard to receive developer profiles through campus placements.
