Being the parental discipline, BSc in Maths will help you to find good job opportunities rather than BSc in Statistics. Because, you may can go for jobs where statistics is mandatory. You can visit the websites of the institutes like Bananas Hindu University, Lovely Professional university etc for finding the good institute and course.
