The Minor programme in Statistics
Statistical analysis, modeling and inference are required in almost all areas of the natural and social sciences, technology and industrial research and development. There has always been a demand for trained graduates and specialists in different branches of Statistics.
The M.Sc. (Applied Statistics and Informatics) offered by the Mathematics department caters to this need. For the benefit of B. Tech. students interested in applying statistics in their discipline of graduation or for those aspiring for jobs that require statistical analytics and decision making, the Department also offers a minor programme comprising of the following important foundational courses to a limited number (maximum 20) of selected students of B. Tech. at IIT Bombay.
