Department of Statistics
Ramanujan School of Mathematical Sciences
The Department of Statistics was established during October 2006. Currently, the department offers M.Sc. Statistics,
M.Sc Five Year Integrated (Statistics) Program and also a Post Graduate Diploma in Statistical and Research Methods. The
department will also offer Ph.D. (Statistics) program from the coming academic year 2010-11. The department aims to train
students in the development and applications of Statistical techniques for analyzing data arising in the scientific investigation
of problems in the various disciplines. It is also proposed to provide first hand practical experience in handling modern
statistical softwares in the analysis of such data.
In the present scenario, it is rather impossible, even to think of any field which does not employ modern statistical tools to
arrive at rational conclusions from research studies and a statistician is always an indispensable part of any research team
carrying out any research investigation.

The Centre for Bioinformatics in Pondicherry University was started as Sub Distributed Information Centre of the Department
of Biotechnology, Govt. of India (DBT) in 1991. The mandate of the Centre is to train manpower and conduct research in
various areas of Bioinformatics. Recognizing the progress made by the Centre, DBT upgraded the Centre to a full Centre level
in 2002 and several new positions were sanctioned and additional funding was allocated.
The Centre is identified as a Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics Teaching and Research by the Department of Information
Technology, Govt. of India, New Delhi in 2007 and awarded a special grant of around 3.79 crores. The Centre has taken up
research projects and has been offering modular courses in Bioinformatics under this Grant.
The Centre started offering an M.Sc., program in Bioinformatics in 2007 with the funding from the University Grants
Commission (UGC) under its scheme of Innovative Programme - Teaching & Research in Interdisciplinary and Emerging
Areas. The centre is also offering Ph.D. Programme in Bioinformatics.
The Centre has got approval for starting Network M.Sc., Computational Biology teaching programme fully funded by DBT in
collaboration with Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai and Anna University, Chennai. This programme will be first of its kind
in the country. The Centre has also signed an MoU with Institute of Bioinformatics (IoB), Bangalore and University of Sienna,
Italy for collaborative research and Ph.D. guidance. The Ph.D. students can visit these labs for collaborative research.
All the students, research scholars and faculty are provided modern round-the-clock computing facility with a separate 8
Mbps dedicated internet connectivity in addition to the regular internet connectivity provided by the University. The Centre
has established a separate wet lab facility with modern wet lab equipments. Most of the past students have got placements
in various leading research institutions and industries.
In the past few years, the Centre has taken up research activities in the areas of sequence analysis, molecular modeling,
database development etc., and several papers have been published in peer-reviewed international and national journals.
The University is extending full support for the development of the Centre, which will achieve newer heights and will soon
become a leading centre for Bioinformatics teaching and research in this part of the world.

Department of English
School of Humanities
The Department of English, one of the oldest Departments of the University, was established on 1st December, 1986, and
since inception the Department has been the hub of teaching and research activity, attracting a cross-section of students
and research scholars from all over the country. It has established itself as a stronghold of Comparative Literature, teaching
Comparative Literary Theory and fostering Comparative Literary Studies between Indian languages and English. In recent
years, Cultural and Translation Studies too have come to be a thrust area, inspiring inter-disciplinary and intra-disciplinary
insights among faculty and students alike. An ecologically sensitive critical thinking and teaching has also emerged and the
Department is one of the earliest in the country to proffer multicultural studies in this area and with the founding and
establishment of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment-ASLE India (the Indian counterpart of the
International forum of that name) in 2006, this has fostered a renewed direction to academics and scholars alike.
At the Postgraduate level, the Department of English offers courses in poetry, drama, prose and fiction of canonical British
literature and American literature, thus offering a good training for UGC-NET aspirants, and all those keen to acquaint
themselves with these classics. A strong theoretical foundation is laid with two Literary Theory courses spread over two
semesters. The Department offers courses in ELT and Research Methodology which are application-oriented. A basic course
in Linguistics offers students an orientation to the formal study of English language. A high-point of the M.A. Programme is
the research project that encourages individual initiative and self-study on the part of the students. Emerging areas of study
such as, Media Studies Postcolonial Literature, and Green Studies along with an array of specialized electives make for an
M.A. programme that is a mix of the conventional and the new.
The M.Phil. programme is marked by rigorous course-work in theory and criticism and in emergent literatures cutting
across various genres, besides the original research expected of the scholar for the M.Phil. Dissertation. The Department
encourages research at the M.Phil. and Ph.D. levels in a number of areas, such as Poetry and Poetics, Diaspora Studies,
Subaltern Literatures, Interdisciplinary and Cultural Studies.

Launched as an innovative project in June 2009 by the Vice-Chancellor, the Centre for Foreign Languages was started in
order to cater to the compelling requirements of the present fast-moving world and its multi-linguistic links. In this era
of globalisation and commercial tie-ups, knowing a foreign language is always an asset which gives one the required edge
and enhances the job prospects. Apart from the business exchange, there is also a growing need to translate scientific and
technical documents, and of course, famous literary works from foreign languages. In the world of music too, there is an
urge to understand the wordings of many songs, specially from the Arabic and Latin American side. Films too need to be
dubbed often.

international and national prizes, election to the fellowship of premier academies/professional bodies, and nomination on
the editorial boards of prestigious technical journals. The most recent of the honours is the National Design Award in
Environmental Engineering, conferred by the Institution of Engineers.
The centre has thus far published over 250 papers in high impact-factor international journals including Environmental
Technology, Biochemical Engineering Journal, Bioresources Technology, Environmental Modeling & Software, Applied Energy,
Journal of Clearer production, Journal of Loss Prevention in Process industries, Journal of Hazardous Materials, Trans IChemE
(UK), Trans, AIChE (USA), Journals of the institute of Public Health Engineers, Indian Chemical Engineers, Indian journal of
