Applied Statistics Diploma Program
Applied Statistics Diploma Program
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.
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:
*Note: If there is a change in the fees then the excess amount will be collected
afterwards.
