POST-GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN APPLIED STATISTICS WITH SOFTWARE

Introduction:

Statistics has become a vital tool of data analysis and valid inference in almost all

fields in the present era. Statistical techniques are applied in Finance, Insurance,
Marketing, Manufacturing, Social Sciences, Health Sciences and Software Designing
etc. A huge volume of data is generated in these fields every day. Processing and
Management of this data has become a vital need of the hour. This necessitates a
pertinent exposure to various Statistical Techniques to all the users.

Processing and management of this voluminous data using computerized


Statistical packages has become essential in the current era.

Over the next three years industry sources expect the number of statistician in
Private Sector to double. Demand for statistician is likely to intensify as new entrants in
clinical trials and pharma industry look at india.

Fee Structure:

Rs. 40,000 per year *

Rs. 1,000 Examination fee per term.

Rs. 800 P.G. Registration Fee.

*Note: If there is a change in the fees then the excess amount will be collected

afterwards.

Scheme of Examination:

The evaluation of the performance of a student in each paper shall be based

upon both internal and external examination. The external examination will be held only
once at the end of an academic term. The external examination will consist of EIGHT
papers each of THREE hours.
