The Department of Statistics was established
during October 2006. Currently, the
department offers M.Sc. Statistics Program
and the department has planned to offer
M.Phil and Ph.D. Programs in Statistics in
future. The department aims to train
students in the development and applications
of Statistical techniques for analyzing data
arising in the scientific investigation of
problems in the various disciplines. it is also
proposed to provide first hand practical
experience in handling modern statistical
softwares in the analysis of such data.
In the present scenario, it is rather
impossible, even to think of any field which
does not employ modern statistical tools to
arrive at rational conclusions from research
studies and a Statistician is always an
indespensable part of any research team
carrying out any research investigation.
