The current M.Sc. course curriculum will nurture the students with blend of theoretical and practical skills. It also provides training in handling modern statistical softwares’ in the analysis of data arising from various disciplines. 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 indispensable part of any research team carrying out research investigation. The M.Sc. programme also includes statistical softwares’ like IBM SPSS 19.0, R and Python which will enable students to get placement in data analytics companies.
Semester wise Academic planning, Special invited lecture series by eminent academicians and scientists from national and international institutions, Campus recruitment, Student coordinating activities for overall development, Choice based credit system, Freedom to select and pursue internal or external soft core courses as per the flexibility of students need are some notable highlights of the program. The department also offers M.Sc. Five year integrated program in Statistics.
