Department of Statistics

The Department of Statistics was established in the year 1982 offering an undergraduate programme in Statistics, under M.G university, with Mathematics and Computer Science as subsidiary subjects. It is a pioneer department under MG university, offering Bachelors in Statistics, with a legacy of 40 years. From the beginning, the Department has been showing consistent performance in terms of academic competence. Students of our department have been getting admission for higher studies in various reputed institutions and they have been showing excellent performance there. The department is blessed with the support of alumni members, who are well placed in various academic institutions, government/public sector institutions, private institutions, etc. both within the country and abroad.

Recently, Data Science, a multi-disciplinary branch of Science, has gained much attraction around the globe.

Turing award winner Jim Gray envisioned Data Science as a "fourth paradigm" of science. Data Science utilizes logical techniques, procedures, calculations and frameworks to separate information and bits of knowledge from organized and unstructured data. It is an idea to bind together Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science and their related techniques so as to understand and analyse the actual phenomena within the data. Apparently, the course structure of the undergraduate programme in Statistics serve well in laying the foundations of Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science for a Data Science aspirant student.
