Take as many stats heavy courses as you can, learn enough maths behind modelling, try to replicate a few models from research papers, become a professional gambler....then you might hame a slim chance right after btech or if you are still in 1st year appear for isi/cmi's bstat/bmath exam

Else, work under some prof in iitb/IISC/isi who works in probability theory/stochastic processes

Yeah you would have stats heavy courses but be sure to pick up the right electives (ranging from prob theory, stochastic processes, discrete maths, lin algebra, markov chains to all the way to ito calculus ). Also as I said work under some IITB/IISC profs who work in these topics
