Overview

The Department of Mathematics offers two-year M.Sc. program in Applied Statistics and Data Analytics and intends to provide students with strong foundation in statistical methodology, its applications, use of statistical computing packages and the skills to collaborate on projects to support the analysis and interpretation of statistical data. In order to deal with the massive amounts of data generated by business, healthcare, sensors, the Internet, surveys, social media, astronomy, human space exploration and operations, and aeronautics, the curriculum includes cutting-edge topics like Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, and Marketing Analytics. Students are encouraged to enroll in an internship or in-plant training program during summer and/or winter vacations. In fact, the program is designed to blend the power of statistical analysis with the advent of computing facility in providing solutions to the challenging problems of aforementioned domains.

The program provides a significant opportunity for independent study and research through project work, leading to a dissertation. The project work involves literature surveys, investigations, and contributions to specific areas of Mathematical Sciences. The resulting dissertation is expected to produce a research article suitable for publication in a reputable journal, and it is believed to greatly assist aspirants planning for a PhD.

The student exchange program is another crucial feature that enables students to explore higher study possibilities in top universities in the USA and Europe. Our students are currently pursuing PhD programs in prestigious institutions both within and outside India.

This program primarily focusses on the application of Statistics to almost each and every discipline and is efficient to meet the demands of today’s world be it Big Data, Machine Learning, Data Mining or any other field.
