Preface
This brochure provides relevant information about Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) for prospective employers. It
comprises a brief introduction of the Institute followed by descriptions of various academic programmes, profiles
of current batches of students and a summary of past recruitments.


The placement of ISI students is facilitated by the placement committee. On behalf of this committee, we would
like to invite all prospective employers to visit the Kolkata campus to recruit students graduating in July/August
2011. Going by the latest trends in the placement of our students, it is indeed heartening to note that leading cor-
porate giants have been visiting our Institute regularly with employment offers for outgoing students of our Mas-
ters-level academic programmes [M. Stat., M. Math., M.S. (QE), M. Tech. (CS) and M. Tech. (QROR)]. Our website
(http://www.isical.ac.in/~placement) provides further details about course curriculum and other relevant infor-
mation regarding placement opportunities.


Companies interested in campus recruitment are requested to send the ISI Campus Recruitment Form (preferably
with relevant company literature), duly filled-in, by email/fax/courier/post to the Convener of the Placement
Committee. Dates for campus interviews are fixed on a first-come, first-served basis. It may be mentioned here
that the Institute does not charge any placement fee. We also do not permit placement consultants or third-party
recruiters to conduct campus interviews. We look forward to formal feedbacks in the prescribed form, from com-
panies after their campus recruitment, as inputs for review of our academic and placement policies.


We do hope that this placement brochure will be useful to employers visiting the Institute. Any suggestion for
improving the brochure is most welcome.

Message from the
Director



The Indian Statistical Institute has a long and proud tradition of excellence in training,
teaching and research in a number of academic disciplines. The Institute has recently com-
pleted its Platinum Jubilee Celebration. One year Golden Jubilee Celebration of the degree
courses of the Institute has just begun. Its alumni have made outstanding contributions to
academia, governance and industry, and it is my firm conviction that newer generations of
alumni will continue to do so in years to come.

As in previous years, this brochure is being published to showcase our academic pro-
grammes and provide relevant information to prospective employers. I am sure that the
HRD people of leading Commercial and Industrial Organization will continue to conduct on-
campus recruitment with greater vigour, making offers of bright, productive future (with
them) to our outgoing students every year.

Message from the
Dean of Studies




Indian Statistical Institute is an internationally famous centre of learning. Besides of-
fering various quality academic programmes, it also maintains a great research envi-
ronment. As a result, students coming out of this Institute are very well accepted in
both industrial and academic establishments.

I, on behalf of the Indian Statistical Institute Placement Committee, invite the indus-
trial organizations to our Institute for campus interview in order to recruit talented
and dedicated future industry leaders.

M. Stat.
Master of Statistics
Introduction

The M.Stat programme of ISI is viewed as arguably
the best postgraduate degree programme in Statis-
tics in the world. This view is justified by the fact
that people with an M. Stat. background have been
accredited with a large percentage of the sophisti-
cation that Statistics has seen in the past few dec-
ades. The factors contributing to this legacy are the
quality of the students and teachers alike and the
rigorous and in-depth course structure with its
unique out-of-the-box flavour.

Master of Science in Quantitative Economics

Introduction
The Indian Statistical Institute has been playing a
pioneering role in the research, training and applica-
tion of Quantitative Economics in India for a long
time. The MS (QE) programme, from its very incep-
tion, came up as one of the very best of its kind in
the country and compared favourably with that of
any top ranking university in the world. The popular-
ity of the programme is partially reflected by the fact
that students getting admission offers to MS (QE) as
well as to other premier economics departments in
the country have almost revealed their preferences
for MS (QE) over the others.                              Scope:

                                             road (Girish C. Ghosh Street) connects BT Road with
                                             Gopal Lal Tagore Road, a road that runs along the
                                             western boundary of the main campus. The office
                                             complex bears door numbers 202, 203 and 204, and

  • 3. Preface This brochure provides relevant information about Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) for prospective employers. It comprises a brief introduction of the Institute followed by descriptions of various academic programmes, profiles of current batches of students and a summary of past recruitments. The placement of ISI students is facilitated by the placement committee. On behalf of this committee, we would like to invite all prospective employers to visit the Kolkata campus to recruit students graduating in July/August 2011. Going by the latest trends in the placement of our students, it is indeed heartening to note that leading cor- porate giants have been visiting our Institute regularly with employment offers for outgoing students of our Mas- ters-level academic programmes [M. Stat., M. Math., M.S. (QE), M. Tech. (CS) and M. Tech. (QROR)]. Our website (http://www.isical.ac.in/~placement) provides further details about course curriculum and other relevant infor- mation regarding placement opportunities. Companies interested in campus recruitment are requested to send the ISI Campus Recruitment Form (preferably with relevant company literature), duly filled-in, by email/fax/courier/post to the Convener of the Placement Committee. Dates for campus interviews are fixed on a first-come, first-served basis. It may be mentioned here that the Institute does not charge any placement fee. We also do not permit placement consultants or third-party recruiters to conduct campus interviews. We look forward to formal feedbacks in the prescribed form, from com- panies after their campus recruitment, as inputs for review of our academic and placement policies. We do hope that this placement brochure will be useful to employers visiting the Institute. Any suggestion for improving the brochure is most welcome. Arijit Bishnu Aditya Bagchi Convener, Placement Committee Chairman, Placement Committee
  • 4. Message from the Director The Indian Statistical Institute has a long and proud tradition of excellence in training, teaching and research in a number of academic disciplines. The Institute has recently com- pleted its Platinum Jubilee Celebration. One year Golden Jubilee Celebration of the degree courses of the Institute has just begun. Its alumni have made outstanding contributions to academia, governance and industry, and it is my firm conviction that newer generations of alumni will continue to do so in years to come. As in previous years, this brochure is being published to showcase our academic pro- grammes and provide relevant information to prospective employers. I am sure that the HRD people of leading Commercial and Industrial Organization will continue to conduct on- campus recruitment with greater vigour, making offers of bright, productive future (with them) to our outgoing students every year. Bimal K. Roy Director
  • 5. Message from the Dean of Studies Indian Statistical Institute is an internationally famous centre of learning. Besides of- fering various quality academic programmes, it also maintains a great research envi- ronment. As a result, students coming out of this Institute are very well accepted in both industrial and academic establishments. I, on behalf of the Indian Statistical Institute Placement Committee, invite the indus- trial organizations to our Institute for campus interview in order to recruit talented and dedicated future industry leaders. Aditya Bagchi Dean of Studies

  • 7. M. Stat. Master of Statistics Introduction The M.Stat programme of ISI is viewed as arguably the best postgraduate degree programme in Statis- tics in the world. This view is justified by the fact that people with an M. Stat. background have been accredited with a large percentage of the sophisti- cation that Statistics has seen in the past few dec- ades. The factors contributing to this legacy are the quality of the students and teachers alike and the rigorous and in-depth course structure with its unique out-of-the-box flavour.

(QE) Master of Science in Quantitative Economics Introduction The Indian Statistical Institute has been playing a pioneering role in the research, training and applica- tion of Quantitative Economics in India for a long time. The MS (QE) programme, from its very incep- tion, came up as one of the very best of its kind in the country and compared favourably with that of any top ranking university in the world.

  • 16. How to Reach The Kolkata campus of the Indian Statistical Institute is located in a sprawling 30-acre estate on the Bar- rackpore Trunk Road (BT Road) in the Baranagore suburb of Greater Kolkata. It consists of two ap- proximately equal parts - the office complex and the residential complex, separated by a public road. This road (Girish C. Ghosh Street) connects BT Road with Gopal Lal Tagore Road, a road that runs along the western boundary of the main campus. The office complex bears door numbers 202, 203 and 204, and the residential complex, 205 and 206. If you are coming from airport, take Belgharia Ex- pressway from Jessore Road (approaching North) and take exit at Dakshineswar (before the Express- way merges to Nivedita Bridge over Ganges). As you take exit from Belgharia Expressway, take PWD Road towards Dunlop Bridge (Dunlop Bridge is in the East from Dakshineswar). Take right turn at the Dunlop Bridge at PWD Road - BT Road crossing and after about 500 meters on the BT Road, you can see the institute campus on your right.
