The available programs include B Stat (Hons), B. Math. (Hons), M Stat, M Math, MS (QE), MS (QMS), MS (LIS), M Tech (CS), M Tech (CrS), M Tech (QROR), and PG Diplomas at various campuses such as Kharagpur, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi Tezpur, and Bangalore. Admission to these programs is solely based on the candidates' performance in the ISI admission tests and interviews, with consideration given to their previous academic records.

In 2023, the ISI admission test will be held at 66 centres across the country. The test is conducted offline, using a pen-and-paper format.
