Preamble:
Statistics is aggregate of facts. Statistical techniques are used to make many decisions that
influence our day-to-day life. Statistics is a science of collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing,
and interpreting data to assist in making more effective decisions.
Post Graduate Studies in Statistics is the confluence of application and research in diverse
fields of Statistics. The curriculum and syllabi of two year M.Sc. degree course in Statistics is
scaffold by the expert committee. Over the past decades the higher education system of our country
has undergone substantial structural and functional changes resulting in both quantitative and
qualitative development of the beneficiaries. Such changes have gained momentum with the
introduction of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) which further expects learning outcome-
based curriculum in order to maximize the benefits of the newly designed curriculum. The learning
outcome-based curriculum will definitely help the teachers of the discipline to visualize the
curriculum more specifically in terms of the learning outcomes expected from the students at the
end of the instructional process. It is pertinent to mention here that the purpose of education is to
develop an integrated personality of the individual and the educational system provides all
knowledge and skills to the learner for this.
Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE) has formed the State Integrated
Boards of Studies, which, with great diligence and expertise has devised the mandatory areas that
have to be covered for three-year undergraduation and two-year postgraduation courses to realize
the facilitation of the mobility of faculty and students from one university to another and to easily
solve the problem of equivalence among courses. Great care has been taken so that these areas
would take 75% of the course content and the remaining 25% can be decided by the individual
institutions. The areas that must be covered by the student that are mandatory for earning the
degree to have due value has been worked out so that the student will gain enough depth of
knowledge in the subject concerned. 25% percent of the syllabus should be designed by the
institutions, and the areas covered under this also must have a weightage of 25%. This gives the
autonomous institution seamless liberty on every Board of Studies (BOS) to innovate and
experiment, and more importantly, it is here that the institution devises appropriate strategies by

which (i) to make creative and critical applications of what has been learnt in the mandatory
components, and (ii) to meaningfully connect the learners to the career demands and expectations.
It is essential that the theoretical subject knowledge of the students must be translated into practical
hands-on experience.
One of the significant reforms in the undergraduate education is to introduce the Learning
Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) which makes it student-centric, interactive and
outcome-oriented with well-defined aims, objectives and goals to achieve. LOCF also aims at
ensuring uniform education standard and content delivery across the country which will help the
students to ensure similar quality of education irrespective of the institute and location. With
initiatives of University Grants Commission (UGC) for nation-wide adoption and implementation
of the LOCF for bachelor’s programmes in colleges, universities and HEIs in general. A Core
Expert Committee (CEC) was constituted to formulate the modalities for developing the LOCF in
various subjects being taught in the undergraduate courses in sciences, humanities, commerce and
professional courses. The CEC also constituted the Subject Expert Committees (SEC) in various
subjects to prepare detailed guidelines for the LOCF in subjects concerned.
The key components of the planning and development of LOCF are given in terms of clear and
unambiguous description of the Graduate Attributes (GA), Qualification Descriptors (QD),
Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) to be achieved at the
end of the successful completion of each undergraduate program to be offered by HEIs. In
undergraduate education in Information Technology, the programme of study leading to the degree
of B.Sc. in Information Technology is discussed herewith.
The Qualification Descriptors (QD), Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) and the Course Learning
Outcomes (CLO) were also finalized keeping the broad requirement of the programme in view.
The LOCF also gives general guidelines for the Teaching Learning Process (TLP) corresponding
to each component of theory, experiment, tutorials, projects and industrial / field visits to be
followed in order to achieve the stated outcomes for each component. Finally, some suggestions
for using various methods in the assessment and evaluation of learning levels of students are also
made. It is a student centric framework where they are expected to learn fundamentals of
Information Technology along with the latest trends and techniques like Artificial Intelligence,
Internet of Things, Machine Intelligence along with advanced skillsets that include Mobile
Application Development, Object Oriented Programming among many other courses.

focused on both theory and applied Statistics with an inculcation of practical and project. It is
structured to provide advanced knowledge in Statistics and to develop computing skills. This may
lead to employability of students in many fields of industries.
1.1 Types of courses and Course structure
Each program may have three types of courses namely Core courses, Eelective courses and
Self-study/Skill-based courses
The Core courses are those courses whose knowledge is deemed essential for the students
registered for a particular Master’s degree program. Where feasible and necessary two or more
programs may prescribe one or more common core courses.
• The core courses shall be mandatory for all the students registered for the master’s degree
program.
• The core courses shall be spread all the semesters of the program.
The elective courses can be chosen from a pool of papers. These courses are intended to
• allow the student to specialize in one or more branches of the broad subject area;
• help the student to acquire knowledge and skills in a related area that may have applications
in the broad subject area;
• help the student to bridge any gap in the curriculum and enable acquisition of essential
skills, for example, statistical, computational, language, communication skills etc.
• help the student to pursue area of interest
• The student may also choose additional elective courses offered by the college to enable
him /her to acquire extra credits from the discipline or across the discipline

should have 1-2 tutorials every week depending upon the nature of the course,
(iv) Teaching should be complimented with student’s seminar to be organized very frequently,
(v) Guest lectures and seminars/workshops should be arranged by eminent teachers to be invited
by the concerned college/university/HEI,
vi) Open-ended project work should be given to all students individually or in group to 2-3 students
depending upon the nature of the course,
(vii) Special attempts should be made by the institution to develop problem-solving skills and
design of Statistics projects for demonstration at the UG level. For this purpose, a mentor system
may be evolved where 3-4 students may be assigned to each faculty member,
(viii) Teaching load should be managed such that the teacher has enough time to interact with the
students to encourage an interactive/participative learning.
8. Assessment Methods
In the PG education of Statistics leading to the M.Sc. Statistics degree, the assessment and
evaluation methods focus on testing the conceptual understanding of the Advanced Techniques,
development of Statistical skills and experimental techniques retention and ability to apply the
knowledge acquired to explain with analysis and reason what has been learnt and to solve new
problems and communicate the results and findings effectively. Since the learning objectives are
defined clearly for each course in detail, it is easier to design methods to monitor the progress in
achieving the learning objectives during the course and test the level of achievement at the end of
the course.
• The courses offered in the M.Sc. Statistics are the advanced courses at the college/
University level, the priority is given to Formative Assessment for monitoring the progress
towards achieving the Learning Objectives while keeping its weightages lower than
Summative Assessments. This is to assure that the students know their strengths and
weaknesses periodically through the results of Formative Assessments and make amends
for the gaps in their knowledge without affecting their final grades in any significant way.
• In this context it is suggested that 25-30% weightage be given to Formative Assessments
in case of theory components while 30-40% weightage be given to the Laboratory/Field
work/Projects/Case Study/Dissertation components of the various courses.
• Some of the methods suggested for Theory Component with regard to Formative
