Preface
Welcome to the Bachelor of Science in Statistics program! This syllabus serves as your guide to
understand the curriculum and objectives of the program. The field of statistics plays a crucial role
in today's data-driven world, and this program is designed to equip you with the necessary knowledge
and skills to navigate the ever-expanding realm of statistical analysis. The BSc in Statistics program
offers a comprehensive and rigorous study of statistical theory, methodology, and applications. It
aims to develop your critical thinking abilities, analytical skills, and problem-solving capabilities, all
of which are essential for making informed decisions based on data. Whether you aspire to work in
industry, academia, research, or any other sector where data analysis is vital, this program will
provide you with a solid foundation in statistical principles and techniques.

The syllabus is structured to cover a wide range of statistical topics, including probability theory,
mathematical statistics, statistical modeling, experimental design, regression analysis, multivariate
analysis, time series analysis, and more. Throughout the program, you will also have opportunities
to enhance your computational skills through the use of statistical software packages widely used in
the field. As you progress through this program, you will not only develop a strong statistical
foundation but also cultivate essential skills in data collection, data cleaning, data visualization, and
effective communication of statistical findings. These skills are highly valued in today's job market,
where organizations across industries are seeking professionals who can harness the power of data to
drive evidence-based decision-making.

Learning Objectives:
 To prepare graduates who are not only statistically sound but also capable of using their appropriate
statistical skills in interdisciplinary areas.
 To familiarize students with computational techniques and software used in the statistical arena.
 To provide a solid ground in the best practices of collating and disseminating information.
 To prepare students for undertaking further study.
 To teach students to construct practical statistical models for several processes in the real world.

Program Specific Outcomes:

On completion of the B.Sc. (Statistics) students are able to:
 Serve as a statistician with sound theoretical, practical and computational skills.
 Work as researcher for formulation and solution of mathematical, scientific, societal and industrial
problems.
 Understand the role of statistics in science, society and for National Development.
 Apply some discrete and continuous probability distributions which are highly useful in modelling real
life situations.
 Investigate the relationship between a variable of interest (the response) and a set of related predictor
variables and formulate and fit the appropriate regression model to the given dataset.
 Serve as Administrators/Investigators in the private as well as government sectors and worked as
Analyst in Manufacturing (SQC Unit), Pharmaceutical industries.
 Work in service industries as consultant or analyst such as Banking and Insurance, Forest, Telecom,
Transports, Hotel etc.
 Recognize and make appropriate use of different statistical software such as R, Python, MINITAB,
SPSS, MS-EXCEL etc.
 Work as Programmer to write script using Python and R language and develop algorithms.
 Convert large amount of complex data into summarized form using graphical representation tools that
helps in visual interpretation.
 Serve as Data Scientist/ Data Analyst in various companies of IT sector, Health Sector, Agricultural
sector etc.
