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 Statisticians for the Economic,
Social, Administrative, Planning and Academic
Development of Society. Presently, the thrust areas
where research is undertaken in the department are
Econometrics, Reliability, Information Theory,
Population studies and Statistical Inference. The
students undergoing Master's 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.
