Statistics |
| Statistics
has also been
known as political arithmetic because it is the
science of organizing & manipulating data( lots of
graphs, charts... - get my drift?). Obviously - the
subject is interdisciplinary in |
| nature.
Almost every subject, ranging from Psychology to
Maths requires the use of statistics(immense
demand).
Indian
Statistical Institute of Calcutta is
a pioneer institution working in this field. The
activities of the institution are spread over a wide
area of the country. A network of service units in
statistical QualityControl covers the major cities
of India with a |
 |
| Documentation
Research & Training Center in Bangalore.
Most
colleges which offer a graduation
degree in Statistics require a 10+2 with
Maths (all you number buffs - get
cracking!!) For those wanting to do Postgraduation,
the eligibility condition is usually a B.Sc.
degree. There are several universities
offering diploma courses in Statistics for all those
who aim a little higher in life.

I
assume you have made up your mind - a statistician
is what you wanna be!!! Well, start chanting the
mantra - "Mathematics", "Calculus",
"Mathematics", "Calcu..." . If
success in this field is what you desire, you had
better have an aptitude for - I repeat - Maths!(
and NO!! it doesn’t get any simpler!). You
should enjoy working with figures(mathematical
"figures" only!!).You will have to be
able to think abstractly as well as
concretely(don’t ask me how...). |
Besides this, a person must be endowed with at
least average intelligence &
initiative(c,mon that’s not asking for much
,is it?); be patient & perseverant(r’ber
- slow and steady...) and combine |
with
it a fair amount of accuracy and intellectual
curiosity to be a statistician (why?how?when?what?huh?).
If this is not enough, you must be able to communicate
intelligibly with the people from varying
disciplines & should have a broad basic
background in the physical & social
sciences if you aim to become more than a
technician in a narrow specialty(of course you
do!).

With
a degree in your hand, employment in
Government departments, semi government, public
& private undertakings, industrial concerns,
research institution, establishments of higher
education in India and abroad, planning boards,
census organization etc. will not be a piece of
cake (just kidding!) |
| Data
on population, production etc. have always been
compiled for better economic planning. The need
for statistical application is felt even more now. |
|
 |
Never
fear all you budding statisticians - as long as our
population rises, your jobs remain secure!!! |
