Undergraduate Program

Bachelor of Science (BSc Operations Research)

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.

Learning Outcomes

  • Apply the analytical and practical skills learned during the course.
  • Inculcate and develop logical reasoning and aptitude to make the students well equipped to work on complex issues.
  • Impart comprehensive knowledge and understanding of advanced theoretical fundamentals in Operational Research.
  • Equip scholars with state-of-the-art essential Research & Developments in Operational Research.
  • Provide hands-on training to the students in the form of an Industrial Project to address some significant operational issue faced by the company.
