ISI Delhi offers two Masters programs: (1) Master of Science in Quantitative Economics (MSQE) (2) Master of Statistics (M.Stat.).
Typically, a M.Stat. student has a bachelors degree in Statistics. And MSQE students are primarily from Economics and Engineering backgrounds.
The MSQE program is offered by the Economics and Planning Unit of ISI Delhi and the M.Stat. program
is offered by the Statistics and Mathematics Unit of ISI Delhi. Both programs
are two year programs, broken into four semesters (a batch graduates in May every year).
Some of the courses taken by MSQE students are: Statistics, Time Series Econometrics,

ISI Delhi admits students to both Masters programs and doctoral programs by a competitive entrance examination (a written

taught by world class faculty in the areas of Statistics and Quantitative Economics (see faculty pages here: Economics and Planning Unit Faculty Pages and
