Proceeding of Board of Studies in Statistics Held on 12.7.11 At 12 Noon At

C.S.J.M University Kanpur

In Principle Board agrees with the circulated syllabus of U.G Classes in statistics.
However following observations would make it more relevant.
1. Contents in B.A II / B.Sc II paper II entiled Survey sampling Seem to be
lengthy. The following topic of the paper may be deleted : Double sampling in ratio
method of estimation , Two stage sampling with equal first stage unit, Estimator of
population mean and variance , Non sampling error.
2. The syllabus of B. A I and B. A- II consists of two papers each . Board feels that there
may be three papers in each class.
3. B.A/ B.Sc syllabus may be common for all the papers in each year.
4. To maintain the uniformity in all respect, Board feels that infrastructure should also be
the same in all state universities and degree colleges. All degree department should have
faculty of at least three persons
5. All the Departments should have the sufficient computer systems to replace the old one
(the calculators ) for the Pratical Purpose.
6. There may be an optional papers of computer programming with FORTRAN
