PhD course aims to develop a dynamic researcher which enables them to adapt according to the ever changing needs in the field of computer science in the years to come. The competencies inculcated during the course can be transferred to other disciplines to enrich the content of various disciplines. Technology has become a need of the hour; it touches every sphere of human life in 21st century. Comprehending the knowledge of computers enables the researcher to adapt to ever changing nature in the field of computer science. The main objective of the program is to develop disciplined computer professionals to find out new areas for innovations and make them self-reliant.

The Department has always shared the vision of the Institute in striving for excellence in research and teaching activities and has succeeded in this endeavor to a large extent. Over the years, the department has evolved as one of the premier departments in the country providing excellent teaching and research in mathematical and statistical sciences. The vibrant academic environment is nurtured by strongly motivated faculty and provides an opportunity to pursue research in front line areas of basic sciences as well as in interdisciplinary areas of sciences and technology. In the coming decade, apart from the existing areas, the department intends to develop areas related to mathematical aspects of computing science in all its manifestations.

The doctor of philosophy in the field of Statistics develops students as researchers to pursue careers as teachers in higher education or scientists in the government or private sector.  Technological advances made it easier to collect big data and make the correct decisions with the help of apt statistical models.  This made Statistics as one of the most sought-after fields of research in science.  The department of Statistics is committed to excellence in teaching and research. Ph.D. programme in Statistics offered by the department enables students to develop novel statistical models, validate their statistical properties mathematically, and implement them in applied fields through collaborative interaction with researchers in applied fields.
