Course Curriculum Overview

5

I choosed this course because of the alumani network of IIT Madras and also because of the well maintained course curriculum of the course. From foundational level (i.e. first year) there are hands on real world applications and projects in the course. the frequency and timing of exams are: exams happens in three terms in a year that is January, May and september term. there are two quizes (i.e. mid sem) and a end sem in every term.

Internships Opportunities

5

The placement cell manages the internships, the companies are not specific to mantion hat offers internship because every company like amazon, flipkart, and a lot of startup-s offer internships with stipends this process happens by mails.

Placement Experience

There is seperate IITM BS Placement cell that provide internship and placment opportunities to almost every students who are eligible. Companies like wipro, amazon or many more companies visits for placements. highest package isn't disclosed of BS degree but the average package is something 10LPA. almost 70 to 80 % students are getting placed.

Fees and Financial Aid

Rajistration fees is RS 3000 one time payment and the college fees varies from first year to fourth year. first year fees is RS 33000 and upto fourth year it is RS 351000 there are 75% fees wavier are also applicable for eligible students whos income is less then 5lakh, and OBC or SC/ST category. bus fees, lab fees etc is not applicable as the degree is remote degree and comes under digital education. The course is too much affordable to me because I am eligible for fee wavier.

Campus Life

My ecxperience with the college or with this degree is very good, this program gives you all the necessary things that makes a perfect college life. there is central librabry in the campus and if BS students want to go into the library they can go with there IITM BS ID card. there are offline and online both mode of sports available for BS students, student can participate in many online sports i.e. E-Sports like BGMI, Free-Fire and a lot. there are many active social groups, clubs and socities of BS degree and even I am a part of one of it named "Sahara: The Social Welfare Society of IITM BS", and I got valuable exprience from it.

Admission

I choosed this college because IIT Madras is one of the prestigious university of India and ofcourse it has ranking worldwide. It's alumuns works everywhere in the world. the addmission process happens with two mode one JEE based entry and another one is regular entry, regular entry students have to give a qualifier exam to proceed in the course.

Faculty

5

As the degree is digital degree the student-faculty ratio dosen't applied here, but yeah the student-faculty relationship is too much good, there are gmails, spaces, discourses to intract. All the faculties are lovable are respected and also Professor Sudershan sir (teches python) is one of the most favourite teacher I know, he teaching is remarkable because of his smile, he and every faculty teaches with full of joy and energy.

Night Life

5

There are gym's ,careterias, libraries everything is in campus and everything is open for BS students all you need to access them is just your IITM BS ID card. One of the most famous hangout is Alora, that is above the cafeteria is a very good place. Night hangouts are very lovely. In Paradox (A offline fest for BS students) I enjoyed it too much and ofcourse I can't forget it in my lifetime.

Placement Experience:

IIT Madras BS has placement support through its online placement portal and the Industry Interaction Cell (IIC), but it should not be treated as a guaranteed “campus placement for everyone.” Eligibility usually comes after reaching a certain stage (generally after at least one Diploma level), not from the Foundation stage. Recruiter participation is strong and many companies hire through the portal, but the number of offers changes each cycle and depends on role needs and student profiles. Packages often quoted include around ?25 LPA highest and ~?10 LPA average, but outcomes vary a lot by CGPA, skills, and projects. Some reports mention ~60% on-campus placements, but it’s safer to say results depend on portfolio and consistency. After the degree, the practical plan is to target data/software roles using projects + internships, while also applying off-campus; higher studies is another common route.

Placement Experience:

The IIT Madras BS program offers placement support through the online placement portal and the Industry Interaction Cell (IIC). Still, it’s not wise to treat it like a guaranteed “campus placement for everyone” because eligibility and company criteria matter a lot. Eligibility is usually after reaching the required level (commonly after at least one Diploma stage and meeting IIC/portal requirements), so it’s not from the early Foundation stage. Different reports mention large recruiter participation through the portal,one report mentions over 220 companies and strong overall participation, but exact offers made changes every cycle. So it’s best to write that companies visit through the IITM online placement portal and hiring depends on role requirements and student profiles. Recent reports commonly quote a highest package around ?25 LPA and an average around ?10 LPA for on-campus offers for this program. Roles typically align with software/data tracks like analyst, data engineer, ML/analytics roles, and related tech profiles, depending on skills and projects. The detailed report claims on-campus placement success around --60%, and higher when counting off-campus outcomes, but this is not an official IITM statement. So a safe review line is: placements exist and are improving, but outcomes depend heavily on CGPA, skills, and portfolio. A practical plan after completing the degree is to target data/analytics or software roles using projects + internships, and also keep an off-campus job search active alongside portal opportunities. Another common path is higher studies (MS/MTech/MBA) after building a strong base in math, programming, and projects.

Placement Experience:

from 3rd year completion students become eligible for placements which is provided through college placement cell and if someone believe that off campus is going to overcome the placement offered through campus then he/she can go with that with ease. Percentage of student getting placement is extraordinary about 100 % but the students who sustained throughout the course are very limite. I have planed to join corporate after getting a degree.

BS in data science students have completed their 1st batch and got highest placement of 23 lacs and average of 8 lacs . So placement of electronic system will also revolve around this figure. After 3rd year students are eligible for placements. Most of the Bengaluru based tech company visited for this degree holders. I have a plan to go for higher studies abroad after completing this degree.

Placements are good, as the degree is completely online, but it is nowhere mentioned in the certificate, IIT helps one to get good package in Data Science fields, maybe the college does not provide placemnts, but students have gotten in big companies through off-campus placements
