Department Overview

Head of Department: Prof. Bhupendra Singh(01.01.2020-31.12.2023)

The department was established in 1981 with M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes. Later, in the year 1989, M.Sc. programme was also introduced. The department has developed two computer laboratories for teaching and research work. The department also has a statistical laboratory equipped with desk, electronic and programmable calculators. To make the courses more job oriented, we have introduced two courses of computer programming, two courses of Operations Research and a course of Engineering Statistics at M.Sc. level while at M.Phil. level, we are running the courses like-Research Methodology, Reliability Theory, Statistical Inference and distribution and Advanced Bayesian Statistics with R.
A good number of students from the department have passed UGC/CSIR- JRF /NET/GATE examinations in the past years. The faculty members of the department have published more than 270 research papers out of which 70% belong to international journals of repute like-Reliability Engineering and System Safety (U.S.A), Microelectronics and Reliability (U.K.), Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (U.S.A.),International Journal of System Science (U.K.), Mathematics and Computer in Simulation (U.S.A.), Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation (U.S.A.), International Journal of Systems Assurance Engineering and Management (U.S.A.), Statistical Methods and Applications (U.S.A.), Journal of Mathematical and Computational Science (U.K.), Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering (Saudi Arabia), Communication in Statistics (U.S.A.). Thus, so far, 69 students have completed their Ph.D. degrees each with good publications under the faculty members of this department. More so, 264 students have also completed their M.Phil Projects under the faculty members of this department.

The M.Sc./M.Phil. /Ph.D. Statistics passed students have the job opportunities in various Government and Private Sectors such as: Indian Statistical Services, Ministry of Planning (Research Officer), Ministry of Transport (Operations Research Officer), DRDO (Scientist), NCERT (Education/Research), National Banks (Statistical Officer), LIC (Actuaries), Higher Education (Teaching and research), U.P.
