- Even though it's an online Degree, the environment is quite engaging. They divided students in 12 houses and organize many intra house competition to attain maximum participation of the students.
- The flexibility, it allows us to choose how many courses one want to register according to their capability or time and even allows to pursue this any other Degree along with it.
- Healthy discussion, they have a separate discussion forum where students can discuss anything either its about academics or their hobbies.
Dislikes
- Teaching, teaching being a plus point sometimes fire back. No doubt faculties are one of the top faculties of India but teaching style of some faculties you might not like, everything goes above the head.
- The fees might be too much for many of the students. Even though fee wavier is there but it's still too much for many students specially those who want to pursue with another degree.
Placement Experience:
Since it's a new Degree so no one have passed it yet and many working professionals are also there so its little hard to track the placement records as a student. But yes, IITM provide placement opportunites once you completed either of the Diploma. I know the actual average package but from seniors and many batchmates I heard that it's aroung 8-12LPA. But I will say placement cell of IITM is quite active for students they keep organising various workshop and sending off campus placement or intership opportunities.

Placement Experience:
Placement are available after completing bsc degree level while intership is available after completing Diploma level and there are good number of opportunities coming average package stays around 6-8 lpa , Moreover iit degree adds a lot of value to resume so even if you apply off campus there is a high chance of good placement
