What is ISI Admission Test Result 2026?
The ISI Admission Test result is the outcome of the written entrance exam held by the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) for admission to its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in statistics, mathematics, and quantitative economics. The exam was held on May 10, 2026 at ISI centres across Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Tezpur, and Mumbai. ISI is a national institute of importance under the Ministry of Statistics and is ranked among the top-tier institutions globally for statistics research and education.
The result does not come as an individual scorecard or rank card. ISI publishes separate PDF merit lists for each programme and category combination. If your name appears, you are selected and proceed to seat allocation. Marks and ranks are never disclosed at any stage.

Ques. Does ISI release individual marks or rank after the Admission Test?
Ans. No. ISI does not disclose individual marks, raw scores, or ranks at any stage. The result is published only as PDF merit lists showing selected candidates’ names and registration numbers. Your position on the merit list is never shared publicly.
Ques. What does it mean if my name is not on the ISI 2026 merit list?
Ans. It means you were not shortlisted in that round. ISI runs seat allocation across three rounds, and waitlist movement can happen between rounds. If you were close to the cutoff, check the merit lists again after Round 1 and Round 2 allocations — additional names are sometimes added as allocated candidates withdraw.

ISI Admission Test Result Previous Year Statistics
ISI does not publish aggregate admission statistics — total candidates appeared or qualified is not disclosed officially at any programme level. What is trackable year on year is the exam date, the merit list release pattern, and indicative Stage I (UGA) cutoffs for B.Stat. The table below covers the last four years of available data.
| Year | Exam Date | B.Stat Merit List (Approx.) | Notable Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | May 10, 2026 | June 11, 2026 | No UG interview from this year; result ~1 week earlier than 2025 |
| 2025 | May 11, 2025 | ~June 17, 2025 | Interview required for UG shortlisted candidates |
| 2024 | ~May 2024 | ~June 2024 | B.Stat UGA cutoff ~57 (General/EWS) |
| 2022 | ~May 2022 | ~June 2022 | B.Stat UGA cutoff ~50 (General/EWS) |
The table below shows the B.Stat Stage I (UGA) qualifying cutoff trend for General/EWS candidates over the years for which data is available. The UGA is the 120-mark objective paper — you must cross this threshold before your descriptive paper (UGB) is evaluated at all.
| Year | B.Stat UGA Cutoff — General/EWS (out of 120) | B.Stat Combined Score Cutoff — General/EWS |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 63.0 | 202.0 |
| 2024 | ~57 | Not available |
| 2022 | ~50 | Not available |
The B.Stat UGA cutoff for General/EWS has risen from around 50 in 2022 to 63 in 2026 — a 26% increase over four years. Competition has tightened noticeably year on year. If you are aiming for ISI 2027, target 70+ in UGA to stay comfortably above the likely threshold.
How to Check ISI Admission Test Result 2026
ISI publishes merit lists as public PDFs — there is no roll-number-based individual result portal. You download the PDF for your programme and category, then search for your name inside it. No account or login is needed.
- Go to admission.isical.ac.in
- Look for the Merit Lists and Allocation section on the homepage
- Click the PDF link for your programme (e.g., B.Stat (Hons), M.Stat, MS QE)
- The PDF opens in your browser or downloads automatically
- Press Ctrl+F (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+F (Mac) to open the search bar
- Type your full name or registration number and press Enter
- If your name appears, you are shortlisted; check the accompanying seat allocation notice for your next steps
If the official portal is slow after a result announcement, ISI sometimes shares a Google Drive mirror link on the same page. Look for that as an alternative if the main PDF link times out.
Ques. Can I check my ISI 2026 result by entering my roll number online?
Ans. No. ISI does not provide a roll-number-based individual result lookup. The result is a public PDF merit list. Download the PDF for your programme from admission.isical.ac.in and press Ctrl+F to search for your name or registration number inside it.
Ques. How do I know if I am on the ISI 2026 waitlist?
Ans. ISI does not publish a separate waitlist document. After each allocation round (June 30, July 6, and July 9), updated merit lists may include new names as allocated candidates withdraw. Monitor the portal after each round date — if you were close to the cutoff, you could still be added in a later round.
ISI Admission Test 2026: Merit List Details
The ISI merit list is a simple PDF document. Knowing exactly what it contains — and how the merit score that determines who appears on it is calculated — helps you understand your standing and plan your next steps.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Format | Downloadable PDF (public, no login required) |
| Contents | Candidate name + registration number only |
| Marks / Score Disclosed | No |
| Rank Disclosed | No |
| Category Organisation | Separate list for General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD |
| Programme Organisation | Separate list for each programme (B.Stat, B.Math, M.Stat, M.Math, MS QE) |
| Admission Channel (UG) | Written test channel and INMO/Olympiad channel have separate lists |
How the B.Stat and B.Math merit score is calculated (from 2026):
- B.Stat: Combined Score = UGA + (3.5 × UGB)
- B.Math: Combined Score = UGA + (4 × UGB)
- You must first clear the Stage I UGA cutoff; only then is your UGB (descriptive paper) evaluated and the combined score computed
- Candidates via the INMO/Olympiad channel are still called for interview — a separate merit list is published for them and the above formula does not apply to them
For PG programmes (M.Stat, M.Math, MS QE), the final merit list combines written test performance with interview performance. The interview list released on June 1, 2026 was only a preliminary shortlist — appearing on it did not guarantee final selection.
ISI Admission Test 2026: Qualifying Marks and Cutoff
The qualifying cutoff for ISI Admission Test 2026 works in two stages for UG programmes. Your objective paper (Stage I) score must first meet a minimum threshold. Then your combined score — objective plus weighted descriptive — must also clear a second minimum. Both conditions must be satisfied at the same time.
B.Stat (Hons) — Stage I and Stage II Qualifying Criteria, 2026:
| Category | Stage I: UGA Minimum (out of 120) | Stage II: Combined Score Minimum (UGA + 3.5×UGB) |
|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | 63.0 | 202.0 |
| OBC-NCL | 56.7 | 181.8 |
| SC / ST / PwBD | 44.1 | 141.4 |
Meeting the cutoff means you are shortlisted — it does not guarantee a seat. Actual seat allocation depends on the number of available seats per programme and how many shortlisted candidates complete provisional admission in each round.
For B.Math (Hons) and PG programmes (M.Stat, M.Math, MS QE), ISI has not officially published the 2026 Stage I and Stage II cutoffs. Based on previous years, General category thresholds for B.Math and M.Stat have been in a broadly comparable range to B.Stat.
UGA Marking Scheme (B.Stat and B.Math, 30 questions, 120 marks total):
| Answer Status | Marks Awarded |
|---|---|
| Correct answer | +4 |
| Wrong answer | 0 (no negative marking) |
| Unattempted | +1 |
The +1 for skipping a question is unusual — leaving a difficult question blank scores better than a wrong guess. This is a key strategic point for future aspirants reviewing ISI’s exam design.
ISI Admission Test 2026: Seat Allocation and Admission
Once merit lists are published, shortlisted candidates go through a three-round seat allocation process. You must complete the provisional admission formalities within the window for your round — missing all three windows means your seat is forfeited.
| Round | Seat Allocation Date | Provisional Admission Window |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | June 30, 2026 | July 2–4, 2026 |
| Round 2 | July 6, 2026 | July 7–8, 2026 |
| Final Round | July 9, 2026 | July 9–10, 2026 |
| Final Admitted Candidates List | July 11, 2026 | — |
Steps to complete provisional admission after seat allocation:
- Log in to the admissions portal after your round’s allocation date and check your allocated seat
- Accept the seat and pay the provisional admission fee online within the specified window
- Upload required documents: Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, category certificate (if applicable), identity proof, and recent passport-size photographs
- Report to your allocated ISI centre for final admission with original documents on the date given in the seat allocation notice
If you are allocated a seat in Round 1 but want to wait for a different programme or centre, check the official admissions brochure terms carefully before declining — the rules on re-entry to subsequent rounds are specified there. Once all three rounds close, re-admission is not possible for the 2026 cycle.
M.Tech (CS, CrS, QROR) — GATE channel: Candidates admitted via GATE qualification follow a separate merit list and timeline. The GATE-channel M.Tech merit list was released on April 24, 2026 and has its own provisional admission schedule distinct from the written test channel above.
Ques. Can I get admission to ISI 2026 if I miss all three provisional admission windows?
Ans. No. If you are allocated a seat and miss all three provisional admission windows (July 2–4, July 7–8, and July 9–10, 2026), your seat is forfeited. Re-admission for the 2026 cycle is not possible after this point. You would need to reappear for the ISI Admission Test in 2027.

Ques. Where can I download the ISI Admission Test 2026 merit list?
Ans. Visit admission.isical.ac.in and go to the Merit Lists and Allocation section. Click the PDF link for your programme (B.Stat, B.Math, M.Stat, etc.) and press Ctrl+F to search for your name or registration number. No login is required.
Ques. Does ISI issue individual mark sheets after the Admission Test?
Ans. No. ISI does not issue individual mark sheets, scorecards, or rank cards for any programme. The merit list is the only result document, and it shows only selected candidates’ names and registration numbers.
Ques. Is there an interview for B.Stat and B.Math in 2026?
Ans. No — from 2026, candidates admitted through the written test channel for B.Stat (Hons) and B.Math (Hons) are selected purely on composite merit score (UGA + 3.5×UGB for B.Stat; UGA + 4×UGB for B.Math). The INMO/Olympiad channel still involves an interview. For PG programmes (M.Stat, M.Math, MS QE), interviews were held in June 2026 before final merit lists were published.
Ques. What is the qualifying cutoff for ISI Admission Test 2026 B.Stat?
Ans. For B.Stat (Hons) General/EWS: Stage I UGA ≥ 63.0 out of 120, and combined score (UGA + 3.5×UGB) ≥ 202.0. For OBC-NCL: UGA ≥ 56.7 and combined ≥ 181.8. For SC/ST/PwBD: UGA ≥ 44.1 and combined ≥ 141.4. Both conditions must be met simultaneously. Official cutoffs for B.Math and PG programmes have not been published.
Ques. What is the seat allocation schedule for ISI 2026?
Ans. Round 1 seat allocation is on June 30, 2026 (provisional admission: July 2–4). Round 2 is on July 6, 2026 (provisional admission: July 7–8). The Final Round is on July 9, 2026 (provisional admission: July 9–10). The final admitted candidates list is published on July 11, 2026.
Ques. How many seats are available in ISI B.Stat (Hons)?
Ans. ISI B.Stat (Hons) has an intake of around 48 seats per year across all categories. The exact category-wise seat breakdown is published in the official admissions brochure at admission.isical.ac.in.
Ques. Can I get my ISI Admission Test 2026 answer sheet re-evaluated?
Ans. ISI does not have a standard re-evaluation or re-checking process for the Admission Test. The merit lists are final once published. If you believe there was a factual error, you may write directly to ISI’s admissions office, but there is no formal online rechecking application.
Ques. What should I do if I am not selected in ISI Admission Test 2026?
Ans. If your name does not appear on any merit list after all three allocation rounds, you are not selected for ISI 2026. You can reappear for the ISI Admission Test in 2027. The one-year gap can be used productively — many aspirants succeed on a second attempt with targeted preparation, particularly on the UGA objective paper where the General category cutoff has been rising steadily.
