Scope of the Programme
It's a common misconception that statistics is solely about numbers and complex mathematical problems. In reality, everything studied in statistics has practical implications and is essential for handling large datasets and making informed decisions.
Statistics students are also taught about various software applications that can be used to effectively interpret and analyse data. This practical knowledge equips them to excel in various fields.
Statistics encompasses the collection, organisation, analysis, and interpretation of data. Any organisation with a database requires a skilled statistician to understand and evaluate its data. From government welfare schemes to corporate marketing strategies, BSc Statistics graduates are always in demand for their decision-making skills.
