Analytics firms are particularly interested in statistics graduates. Examples include MU Sigma, Fractal Analytics, EXL, and others. However, many employers will expect you to have a Master's degree in the subject as well. You would have a distinct advantage over the majority of engineers available to analytics firms because they will not be as familiar with statistical models and techniques.

For a Master's degree, you should specifically seek one from the ISI (Indian Statistical Institute) in Delhi/Kolkata, which is an incredible research institute as well as an Institute of National Importance, similar to the IITs and NITs. Excellent faculty members teach at ISI and provide you with a highly competitive peer group.

If you want to do an MBA to work in the private sector, the IIMs would love to have you if you have a good academic record because you'll bring much needed diversity to the engineering school crowd. A background in statistics may also help you stand out in front of recruiters.

Finally, if you obtain an M.Stat degree, you will be eligible for a career in the Indian Statistical Services, whose exam is held annually by UPSC.

At DU, you must get at least 70% and assimilate any theories you learn so that you can apply them to real-world problems. This will benefit you in the long run because you will be more likely to enjoy the subject and express enthusiasm when discussing it in interviews or when writing SOPs.
