IIAS Kolkata , The Future of Data Science in India

Basically, an entrance exam was taken, and I scored more than the given cut off marks to get an opportunity to study in this institution. Basically, this is a technical course hence providing opportunities for placement and internships in future. Almost a new college in Kolkata and let's see how it develops itself like its main branch which is at Siliguri (IIAS Siliguri).

The term exams were of mediocre level, though one cannot easily pass unless they prepare well. Due to the covid situation, the exams were conducted online and it would be a different scenario maybe when conducted offline.

There are two projects to be done at the time of internships, which will be very important to decide where you will be placed. The projects are going to start 6 months from the start of the course and the full details are not yet given.

This course basically ends after a year. We have been told that they would provide us internship opportunities just 9 months after the beginning of this course, and after 12 months we will be placed. Placement opportunities for 100% of the students.

The fees structure for this industrial course is 2,40,000. One can get a scholarship up to 45000 based on his performance in the entrance exams. The entry fees for entrance exams is Rs 300 only. You can pay the whole fees either in instalments or the full amount in a single time.

To be very honest I have been to the campus only a handful of time just because of this corona situation. Hence I won't be able to give you the full fledged details about the campus life, though I can tell you that the institute is fully air-conditioned, it has got two gyms and more than three classrooms which is very much well spaced and comfortable.
