Vision
“Our vision is to make our students one of the best users of Statistics by applying statistical methods for Analysis of Data and Understanding the Real Problem Situations”
Mission
To promote educational, social, cultural and economic development of the rural students and make them responsible to themselves and others, further enable them do suitable jobs and lead happy life.
Department of Statistics was established in the year 1984 for Undergraduate degree in Statistics. Annual pattern for F.Y.B.Sc and Semester pattern for S.Y.B.Sc are followed. One full time qualified lecturer is there with Ph.D and M Phil. Faculty member is also engaged in interdisciplinary courses like Operation Research for T Y B Sc Mathematics & Business Statistics at F Y B Com. Various activities like Statistics Quiz Contest ( P U S A) & Avishkar of university level are conducted every year for F.Y.B.Sc. and S.Y.B.Sc. Students for the past 12 years. On an average 40-50 students take admission to F.Y.B.Sc for the past 7 – 8 years. Strength of S.Y.B.Sc students is around 25-30 which showed a significant improvement since 5 to 6 years .About 12-18 percent of S.Y.B.Sc students join for statistics as a principal subject at graduate level in our Parent Institute. Our past students are well placed in industries, academics, Banks, Insurance companies, research fields.
A student of statistics is gradually trained in logical and statistical techniques so that student can develop a hobby or a tool of his profession which may create great ambition. With this very aim, the B Sc statistics syllabus provides training in such diverse statistical disciplines like statistical analysis, survey analysis, interpretation, research, statistical quality control, regression analysis and computer programming. A graduate has a wide variety of career options in areas like computer applications, business administration, statistics and operational research, banking and insurance sector, civil and statistical services.
The Department of Statistics of MVP Samaj,s Arts, Science & Commerce College, Ozar (Mig) comprises highly qualified and dedicated faculty that specialize in diverse areas such as Biostatistics, Regression Analysis, Operations Research & Sampling Theory. Apart from putting in constant sincere efforts to help the students, teachers here are constantly engaged in research activities and updating themselves on the latest in the subject.
Department has a well furnished computer lab as there are computer courses like MS Excel , R- Software and C-Programming offered. There are applied courses like Statistical Quality Control, Regression methodology and Design of Experiments which are having significant demand in industries as far as job potential is concerned. Department has its own library which provide almost all the books prescribed in the syllabus.

At first year of under-graduation, students will be given the basic information that
includes-methods of data representation and summarization. Correlation and
regression are the tools that are frequently used in statistical analysis. These topics are
studied in Paper I. Further they are introduced to probability and different discrete
probability distributions along with applications. Relevant experiments on these topics
will be included in practical course.
At second year of under-graduation, students are expected to study various probability distributions and its applications to real-life situations. An important branch of Statistics, viz. testing of hypotheses related to mean, variance, proportion, correlation etc. will be introduced. Some topics related to applications of Statistics will be also introduced.
- Eligibility:
- First Year B.Sc.: Higher Secondary School Certificate (10+2) or its equivalent Examination with English and Mathematics; and two of the science subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Geology, etc.
- Second Year B.Sc.: Keeping terms of First Year of B. Sc. with Statistics as one of the subjects.
