Indian Statistical Institute ( ISI ) Competitive Entrance Examination

The Indian Statistical Institute ( ISI ) had its beginning in a small statistical laboratory set up by Professor Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis in the Presidency College at Kolkata, where he was then a professor of Physics. The Institute is now registered under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act XXVI of 1961, amended in 1964. One of the objectives of ISI is to promote the study and dissemination of knowledge of Statistics, to develop statistical theory and methods, and their use in research and practical applications generally, with special reference to problems of planning for national development and social welfare. ISI conducts Admission Test for the candidates who are willing to pursue various UG, PG, and Doctoral programmes in disciplines of Mathematics and Statistics offered by the Institute for the year 2015. Admission to the academic programmes of the Indian Statistical Institute is based strictly on the merit of the candidates. The complete ISI Admission Test 2015 brief description is as follows.
