conducts the exam to recruit Indian Statistical Officers in the various post
under the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation. Usually the
exam occurs in the month of September. Eligibility: M.Sc in Statistics or
Related field.
(2) RESERVE BANK OF INDIA:-RBI takes Statistical Research Officer for
the purpose of Statistical Data Analysis & Research work. Eligibility: M.Sc
in Statistics or Related field.
(3) STATISTICAL INVESTIGATOR:- Staff Selection Commission recruits
Statistical Investigator for different posts through an all India entrance
exam. Generally in April they took the exam. Eligibility: B.Sc in Statistics
(Pass/Honours).
(4) RESEARCHER OR PROFESSORS IN COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES:
There are various research organisations in India for research in the fields
of Statistics after M.Sc. And to be a professor in Colleges/Universities or
Institutions an M.Sc degree is essential. To be a school teacher B.Sc in
Statistics is the required eligibility.
(5) PUBLIC SERVICE EXAMINATION: State governments in each state
under Govt of India recruits Statistical Compilor & Officer in Statistical
Sectors.They publishes the notifications in local newspapers.

Private Jobs in India:

(1)Statistician: This is a huge demanded job profile in private sectors
specially in IT-Sectors. A good understanding of Statistics & a masters
degree in Statistics are necessary to get a job like this.
(2)Operations Research Analysts: Operations research has been defined as
an interdisciplinary branch of applied mathematics and formal science that
uses advanced analytical methods such as mathematical modeling,
statistical analysis, and mathematical optimization to arrive at optimal or
near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making problems.
(3) Analyst: The leading job in modern times is the job of data analysis. A
good knowledge of SAS, SPSS can help you to get this type of job with a
marginal ability in the fields of Statistics.
(4) Biostatistician: This is field of statistical tools in the fields of Clinical
Trials, Epidemiology. To go for it it is advisable to do an M.Sc first then go
for some further studies in Biostatistics to be a Biostatistician.
(5) Econometrician : There is also an another option to be an
Econometrician with good knowledge in Statistics, Time Series analysis,
Economics.
