B.Sc. Computer Science, Statistics - Kristu Jayanti University

Department of Physical Sciences / B.Sc. Computer Science, Statistics

About the Programme

The B.Sc. Computer Science & Statistics (Dual Major) programme integrates two highly complementary and intellectually powerful disciplines. Computer Science forms the backbone of modern technological advancements across communication, healthcare, finance, automation, cybersecurity, business intelligence and scientific research. The programme equips students with strong computational foundations, including programming, data structures, algorithms, database systems, AI/ML fundamentals and software development.

Statistics focuses on data collection, analysis, interpretation and decision-making across public health, finance, research, policy-making, market analytics, data science, quality management and national statistical systems. Students learn distribution theory, sampling, statistical inference, index numbers, data analysis and statistical quality control with modern tools such as Excel and R. Together, Computer Science and Statistics empower students to manage, process and interpret data with computational efficiency—preparing them for data-driven careers and interdisciplinary roles in emerging technology domains.

The B.Sc. is a three-year degree programme. However, as per the provisions of the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020), a student may continue into the fourth year and earn a B.Sc. Honours degree.
