About the Programme

The BSc Computer Science & Statistics (Dual Major) programme integrates two highly complementary and intellectually powerful disciplines—Computer Science and Statistics. Computer Science forms the backbone of modern technological advancements, influencing fields such as communication, healthcare, finance, automation, cybersecurity, business intelligence, and scientific research. The programme equips students with strong computational foundations, including programming, data structures, algorithms, database systems, AI/ML fundamentals, and software development.

Statistics, on the other hand, focuses on data collection, analysis, interpretation, and decision-making. It plays a critical role across industries such as public health, finance, research, policy-making, market analytics, data science, quality management, and national statistical systems. Students learn distribution theory, sampling, statistical inference, index numbers, data analysis, and statistical quality control with modern tools such as Excel and R.

Together, Computer Science and Statistics empower students to manage, process, and interpret data with computational efficiency—preparing them for data-driven careers and interdisciplinary roles in emerging technology domains. The curriculum encourages analytical thinking, problem-solving, and technical excellence through theory, practical labs, fieldwork, and project-based learning.
