Hello Shubh
B.Sc (Maths):
It involves statistics as a part definitely, but there are a lot of theoretical portions here. There are a lot of proofs to be done, which might seem boring. It is mostly research based. My advice would be if you are more inclined towards applying principles, go for B.Sc. (Physics), as it focuses mainly on application primarily. B.Sc. (Statistics):
If you love to deal with data, and would want to pursue a career in Data Science, Analysis, this field is definitely going to be a great option. It opens up doors not only from the corporate front as well as from the research front. You can pursue M. Stat or an M.Sc....more -
Both programs are great, both will require higher studies to make a mark as simply the graduation may not give you enough skills and exposure. These programs lead to job sin research, data sciences, actuaries, faculty positions and many government departments. So you have to decide which one is in your interest, aptitude, personality traits, and aspirations. LPU curate both these programs, no merely as academic ones, but professional programs with great pathway electives in the government sector, credit transfers and further studies. DVD.

I would definitely recommend you to go for pursuing B.Sc in statistics, because it's a very good course with good scope and the advantage in that you can also get government jobs through various governmental exams.

B.Sc Physics will be definitely a better choice due to it's popularity and career options ahead. Though, I am all up to statistics as well, but in my opinion, statistics will be more effective with a Master's degree in it. I assume you intend to get Master's degree in it as well and hence you can proceed with data Science or stats career.

There are various jobs in different companies for statistics and has a lot brighter future, so as per me, go for it.
All the best for your bright future. -
