The course is intended to provide students with a comprehensive yet thorough training in basic theories, methods and applications of Statistics, in addition to some exposure to Mathematics and Computer Science. It is so designed that on successful completion, the students would be able to take up jobs as statisticians in such departments of government and industries where application of Statistics is limited, and also teach Statistics competently at + 2 level in schools as well as at undergraduate level in those courses where Statistics is taught at pass/minor level. The duration of this course is one year, and it will be offered at Tezpur, Assam, centre of the institute.
