Ph.D. Statistics
Ph.D. program in Statistics offered by the Department of Statistics since 2010 gives scope to researchers to pursue research in both theoretical and applied domains. Within the span of ten years, 18 students have been awarded doctorate degree and currently 16 students are pursuing their doctoral program.
The department is supported for research by the University Grants Commission (UGC) – Special Assistance Program (SAP) – DRS – I level for the thrust areas Stochastic Processes, Optimization Techniques and Multivariate Data Analysis. Faculty are active in research and publish papers in national and international journals. All the faculty members have successfully completed one or more funded research projects with support grant from UGC, DST in their fields of specialization. Apart from this, the department also collaborates with other departments of the university and also with reputed institutions across the country and overseas.
