Mahalanobis National Statistics Competition = MNStatC
organized by Cheenta Statistics Department
with exciting cash prizes.
What is MNStatC?
Mahalanobis National Statistics Competition (MNStatC) is a national level statistics competition, aimed at undergraduate students as well as masters, Ph.D. students, and data analytics, and ML professionals. MNStatC plans to test your core mathematics, probability, and statistics (theoretical + applied) skills.
MNStatC aims
- to engage the data lovers to explore the beauty of data through effective problem-solving.
- to enhance the mathematics, probability, and statistics skills for data analytics and machine learning professionals and equip them for the interviews.
- to let the undergraduate, masters, and Ph.D. students to taste a flavor of out of the box statistics using the same knowledge they learned in their colleges.
- to build a community and team of authentic and serious data lovers, who plan to change the world through their data-driven minds.
- to raise awareness of the importance of core statistics, probability, and mathematics in the rising field of Data Science, ML, and AI.

Terms and Conditions Apply*
During prize collection, if you cannot share the proper proof of your college id card or office id card with your name in the application, we will be moving on to the next deserving candidate for the prize.
This is to stop the insurgence of various intelligent scam applicants.
Example: Suppose, you are not an undergraduate and you decide to enroll in the undergraduate exam and you become first in the undergraduate category. We will ask for proof that you are an undergraduate. If you are an undergraduate passout, you belong to the masters’ group. If you cannot provide the proof, we will give the cash prize to the next candidate.
