1. OBJECTIVES
Statistics is a key to success in the field of science and technology. Today,
the students need a thorough knowledge of fundamental basic principles,
methods, results and a clear perception of the power of statistical ideas and
tools to use them effectively in modeling, interpreting and solving the real
life problems. Statistics plays an important role in the context of
globalization of Indian economy, modern technology, computer science
and information technology.

The main objectives of the course is

 To build the basis for promoting theoretical and application aspects of
statistics.
 To underline the statistics as a science of decision making in the real life
problems with the description of uncertainty.
 To emphasize the relevance of statistical tools and techniques of analysis in
the study of inter-disciplinary sciences.

This syllabus is aimed at preparing the students to hope with the latest
developments and compete with students from other universities and put them on
the right track.

2. ELIGIBILITY CONDITION FOR ADMISSION

Candidates for the admission to the Degree of Bachelor of Science in

Statistics shall be required to have passed the Higher Secondary
Examinations (Academic or Vocational Stream) conducted by the
Government of Tamil Nadu or an examination accepted as equivalent

3
 thereto by the Periyar University, with Statistics / Mathematics / Business
Mathematics as one of the subjects.

3. DURATION OF THE COURSE

a) Each academic year will be divided into two semesters. The first academic
year will comprise the first and second semesters, the second academic
year - the third and fourth semesters and the third academic year – the fifth
and sixth semesters.
b) The odd semesters will consist of the period from June to November of
each year and the even semesters from December to April of each year.
There shall be not less than 90 working days for each semester.

4. COURSE OF STUDY
The course of study shall comprise instruction in the following subjects
according to the syllabus and books prescribed from time to time.

5. EXAMINATIONS
The theory examination shall be three hours duration to each paper at the
end of each semester. The practical examination shall be three hours
duration to each paper at the end of each academic year. The candidate failing in
any subject(s) will be permitted to appear for each failed subject(s) in the
