About the Department
"It is easy to lie with statistics. It's hard to tell the truth without it." - Andrejs Drunkels.
The
Department of Statistics was established in the year
2001. Initially, Undergraduate General-course was
offered for the Economics, Mathematics and Physics
Honours students. From 2015-16 Session, the
Department started offering 3 year Honours Degree
course in Statistics.
Presently the Department has four full-time teachers
and one State Aided College Teacher -1. The
Department has an excellent record of academic
results. Many students have secured their position
at the top of the University Merit-List. In Part-III
Examination 2018 (our first batch) and also in Sem-I
2018, Sem-III-2019, our Department successfully
produced University toppers.
Now-a-days, Statistics is becoming more and more
interdisciplinary in nature, deriving its strength
from various fields of research and applications. To
keep pace with this trend, our Department is trying
to contribute to the development of this subject by
innovative teaching - learning with various research
activities.
