Statistics is a rapidly expanding discipline in the era of data clouds and data lakes. Statistical methods can be used to derive meaningful insights from data. Statistics plays a crucial role in decision making under uncertainty. Statistics deals with many aspects of data and is an essential pillar in data science. Statistics and Data Science can provide insights into complex data in scientific discovery and industrial problems. Department Statistics Sunanadan Divaitia School of Science, NMIMS (Deemed to be University) has merged traditional Maters course in Statistics with Data Science courses: Data Management, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Big Data Technology. The need for data analysis in the industry in this computer age has made Statistics a critical application. There are openings for Statisticians in practically all enterprises and service sectors.
