DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICSPLACEMENT BROCHURE
2020-2021Inspiring the brightest minds to begreater since 1959
IIT KANPUR
Established in 1959 as one of the firstIndian Institutes of Technology, theinstitute was created with theassistance of a consortium of nine USresearch universities as part of theKanpur Indo-American Programme(KIAP).
It was declared to be an institute ofnational importance by thegovernment of India under theInstitutes of Technology act.
The department, since its inception in1959, has emerged as a nationalcenter for excellence in mathematics,statistics and allied areas, in terms ofresearch, teaching and mentoringstudents.
The aim of the programme is tocultivate a fine mathematical taste,nurture mathematical interests,motivate research in mathematicalsciences and train computationalscientists who can work onchallenging real life problems.
INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The 2 year course in Statistics takesadmission through Joint Admission Testfor MSc (JAM). The JAM exam through
which admissions are held for this courseis a highly competitive all- India based
entrance exam in which the acceptancerate is less than 3%
This program preparesthem for a career in different sectors like
finance, analytics, banking,insurance, risk management
With a strong focus oninnovation, the students are encouraged
to perform MSc projects, through which they learn to tackle theoretical
as well as industrial and real-life problems
