About the institute: The Indian Statistical Institute, known widely as ISI, was founded in 1931. Headquartered in Kolkata, it is an Institution of National Importance. Centres of the Institute have come up over the years in other major cities. At present, the Institute has four centres operating at Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Tezpur. In addition, the Institute has a branch at Giridih devoted to agricultural and sociological research and also a network of units at Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune, involved in activities related to Statistical Quality Control and Operations Research. Most of the research and teaching activities of the Institute take place in its headquarters in Kolkata and the four centres.

The Institute also runs the International Statistical Education Centre (ISEC), established in 1950, under the auspices of the Government of India. This Centre has been providing training in Statistics to sponsored students mainly from the developing countries of the Middle-East, South and South East Asia and the Far East and from the Commonwealth countries of Africa. The Centre also offers various short term courses in Statistics and related subjects.
