B. Sc. Honours (Operational Research) offers a unique blend of traditional coursework, practical skills, and real-world problem-solving experience designed to position students for success in today’s competitive world. The tools of Operational Research are not from anyone discipline; rather Mathematics, Statistics, Information Technology, Economics, Engineering, etc. have contributed to this discipline of knowledge. Today, it has become a professional discipline that deals with the application of scientific methods for decision-making, and especially to the allocation of scarce resources.
These courses are to be compulsorily studied by a student.
