Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata

The increased awareness since late eighties, that SQC & OR techniques are of immense help in the development of the industrial sector, has led to the introduction of a two-year full-time M Tech programme in Quality, Reliability and Operations Research in Kolkata in 1989. From the academic year 2014-15, two new programmes have been introduced: a two-year Master of Science programme in Quality Management Science [MS (QMS)] which is being conducted in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and a one-year postgraduate diploma programme in Computer Applications at the Giridih branch of the Institute. The Institute has also been offering a course leading to Associateship in Documentation and Information Science at the Bengaluru Centre since 1965-66. This course has been upgraded to a Master’s level programme, called the Master of Science in Library and Information Science [MS (LIS)] since 2008-09.
