Where Statistics Meets Innovation

The BSDS program at ISI Bangalore is a rigorous undergraduate course designed to cultivate the next generation of data scientists and statisticians. Our student community drives innovation through collaborative projects, research initiatives, and knowledge sharing.

We believe in learning by doing—combining theoretical foundations with practical applications to solve real-world problems using statistical methods and modern data science techniques.

Rigorous Curriculum

Deep foundations in probability, statistics, and computational methods

Research Focus

Opportunities to work on cutting-edge statistical research

Vibrant Community

Active peer learning and collaborative problem solving

Maintaining Notes Throughout the Course

I created this site to bring all BSDS course materials into one place. I collected all the resources shared by professors through their websites, emails, and classes, wrote down the class notes, converted it into clean LaTeX, and uploaded all of it to GitHub so students can easily access organized, reliable materials anytime at one place
