text: hey how do i get into isi (indian statistical institute)?   their website is www.isical.ac.in  you have to sit for a two stage written exam which takes place in april/may. if you make it (and its real tough) you face an interview board where they grill you like hell.  every year only 60 bright young people make it there. the very best of mathematical talent in india.  i wish you all the best, its very hard. hope the govt. doesn't reserve any seats there like it has done in the iits.
