Courses

The M.A./M. Sc  program in Statistics by papers is of two years (four semester) duration. The first and second years are termed as M.A./M. Sc Part I  and  M.A./M. Sc Part II respectively. The structure of the M.A./M. Sc program in Statistics by papers is as follows. 

M.A./M. Sc Part I consists of two semesters. In each semester there shall be four compulsory courses and two practical courses. 

M.A./M. Sc Part II consists of two semesters. In each semester there shall be two compulsory courses,  two optional courses and  two practical courses. 

In all there shall be four theory courses each of 75/100 marks for M.A./M. Sc respectively and two practical courses each of 100 marks, for each semester. 

The performance of the learners shall be evaluated in two components. Internal Assessment with 40% marks by way of continuous evaluation and by Semester End Assessment with 60% marks by conducting the semester end examination.

Illustrious Alumni's:

Placements

PLACEMENT COMMITTEE  :

    The students of M.A./ M.Sc Statistics (Part I and Part II), PGDAS, PGDASS form the placement committee, guided by two senior teachers. They undertake many tasks, the prime one being that of looking after the campus interviews. They prepare the department brochure and post the same to selected companies and many of these visit the campus for recruitment .
The recruitments are carried for the Part II, PGDAS, and PGDASS students. Each and every student has to fill the placement form which is an undertaking stating the rules of the Placement Committee. The details of the visit of the companies are taken care by the committee. The committee also organizes other intellectual events. They conduct meetings on a regular basis to put forth their problems and discuss the agenda. The committee is thus a representation of the students and act as a layer between the students and the faculty of the department .
