Department of Statistics

The Department of Statistics of the erstwhile Presidency College, now University, is one of the oldest departments in the country and perhaps also in Asia. The undergraduate course of the department started way back in 1944, under the command of the great P. C. Mahalanobis, also hailed as one of the greatest statisticians in the world. This was at a time when Statistics as a distinct course was quite unknown in many American universities. Since then the department has produced illustrious scholars, academicians and statisticians who have achieved tremendous fame in India and abroad.
