ISI B.Stat / B.Math cutoff: expected score and rank bands
No official ISI B.Stat / B.Math cutoff is published on Shishya yet — the score bands below are indicative, not official. Official cutoffs are published at isical.ac.in.
AI-curated from historic cutoff patterns. Indicative, not official. Always verify with the latest official notification.
Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 105–125 marks (56–66%) |
| OBC-NCL | 95–115 marks (51–61%) |
| SC | 80–100 marks (43–53%) |
| ST | 75–95 marks (40–51%) |
| PwD | 70–90 marks (37–48%) |
- General vs. OBC gap: Typically 8–12 percentage points; SC/ST cutoffs fall 15–25 percentage points below General, reflecting the highly competitive nature and small intake (~60 seats combined for both programs).
- Year-to-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate with paper difficulty (especially UGA/UGB sections) and candidate pool strength. A tougher paper can lower cutoffs by 10–15 marks across categories; interview performance also weighs significantly in final selection.
- Disclaimer: ISI does not publish official category-wise cutoffs; these ranges are derived from historical candidate experiences and admission patterns. Actual thresholds depend on overall performance distribution each year.

Top tier — near-certain admission
93–100%
- ISI Kolkata — B.Stat / B.Math with near certainty (among India's most selective programs)
- Among top 20-30 mathematical talent in the country for this cohort
- Exceptional performance; interview is formality unless major issues
- Alumni include Fields Medal nominees and top researchers
- Program comparable in selectivity to IMO medal winners
- Direct pathway to global PhD programs (MIT, Stanford, Princeton track record)
Strong admission probability
83–92%
- ISI Kolkata — B.Stat with high confidence (leading to research/analytics careers)
- ISI Kolkata — B.Math with high confidence (leading to PhD/academia)
- Among top 50-80 performers nationally
- Very strong chance of final admission unless interview goes poorly
- Graduates typically pursue PhDs at top global universities or join quantitative finance
Competitive admission range
71–82%
- ISI Kolkata — B.Stat (flagship statistics program, ~35 seats)
- ISI Kolkata — B.Math (pure mathematics program, ~30 seats)
- Strong written performance; admission likely with decent interview
- Total cost approximately ₹10,000-15,000 per year (heavily subsidized)
- Interview tests mathematical maturity and originality
Interview shortlist range
56–70%
- Strong chance of clearing written test and receiving interview call
- ISI Kolkata — B.Stat / B.Math (interview performance becomes crucial)
- Approximately 200-250 candidates typically shortlisted for interview
- Final selection depends heavily on interview and subjective test performance
- Prepare for advanced problem-solving and oral examination
Borderline — may qualify written
36–55%
- May receive interview call depending on year's difficulty
- Competition is with India's top math students (~15,000 applicants for ~65 seats)
- Probability and statistics questions often determine borderline cases
- Consider strengthening proof-writing and combinatorics
Below qualifying threshold
0–35%
- Unlikely to clear the written test cut-off
- ISI typically admits ~60-70 students total across both programs
- Score insufficient for interview shortlist
- Focus on problem-solving and mathematical reasoning for next attempt
