The Department of Statistics came
into existence in the year 1988 with the aim of
providing quality education in the field of
Statistics: to develop the subject of Statistics with
its application and usefulness to the society: to
provide qualified and trained Statisticians for the
economic, social, administrative, planning and
academic development of the society. Presently, the
thrust areas where research is undertaken in the
department are Sample Survey, Reliability, Information
Theory, Biostatistics and Statistical inference. The
students undergoing Master’s , M.Phil. and Ph.D. in
Statistics have a bright future with a lot of
employment opportunities available in public sectors
like Planning, Administration, Information Technology
and Research and in private sectors like Quality
Control, Actuarial Sciences, and Management etc. The
department has been marching ahead in the direction of
excellence in teaching and research and is committed
to keep its march towards this end. The strength of
the Department, however, lies in its continual search
for excellence and for its endeavor to adapt itself to
the changing scenario of statistics as a subject and
to keep abreast with the best in the emerging fields.
