50% Semester End ExamAbout this Course:Quantitative methods and analytics are essential tools used across various fields to analyze numerical data, make informed decisions, and solve problems. These methods rely on mathematical, statistical, and computational techniques to understand patterns, relationships, and trends within data.

Throughout the course, students will be learning linear programming, Job sequencing, critical path method, PERT, etc. which will help them to make informed database decisions in difficult scenarios. The transportation problem, theory of games and an exposure to R Studio interface, will teach them to plan the activities in the organisation which will help the smooth functioning of any organisation. The activities organised in the subject will give them real-life scenarios in turn help them to learn practical applications of each concept.
