Fees and Financial Aid:

The IIT Madras BS in data science and applications follows a flexible pay per level fee structure. The course has four levels : Foundation level, diploma level, bsc level and lastly bs level. Year wise fee structure is : Foundation level : 64000 Diploma level : 110000-120000 Bsc level : 110000-120000 Fee has gradually increased. For example foundation level costs ?30k/ term , now it's 32k + other charges like registration, caution deposit and exam fees are included in term fees. As it's an online program so no need for hostel and mess. Category wise variations Sc students get upto 75% fee waiver Pwd students with higher aid available

IIT Madras: 32 Answered Questions

Is getting an online degree from IIT Madras worth it while I'm pursuing my own course?

Arati Sinhastudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The increasing demand for data science and artificial intelligence has resulted in people preferring a more promising career among fresh graduates and working professionals. This field has created a number of opportunities and everyone is flocking to it.

These courses are seen as a key to a more high-paying job by UG students who end up pursuing them alongside their main course. Owing to its increasing demand, IIT Madras and IIM Calcutta have started offering online degrees in Data Science

IITM offers courses at three levels:

The foundation level: Comprises a time duration of 8 months to 3 years costing around 32k.
The Diploma level: Comprises a time duration of 12 months to 3 years and costs 1,10,000.
The Degree level: Varying from 12 months to 3 years, it costs 1,00,000.

While doing an online course that too from IIT Madras may look like a lucrative option here is the dark side

The course is extremely expensive
The long duration is not suitable for graduates or working professionals who want to move forward in their careers.
Lack of hands-on experience
No placement of internship assistance at all
Pre-recorded sessions make the learning boring and uninteresting
You won’t be allowed to pursue the degree unless you’ve done the diploma.

The IIT tag surely appeals to many and makes your resume look good in front of recruiters however, it does not guarantee that you have a good Data Science career. It might help you get through the first round, but the course does not offer the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this domain. The reasons why this course is not credible are the lack of hands-on projects, pre-recorded sessions, and absence of interaction in the class or doubt-solving sessions.

The alternative for these online courses are programs offered by various platforms like Learn Bay, Skill Slash, UpGrad Great Learning, SimpliLearn, etc. These are

Cost friendly
Ace up your knowledge
Offers a hands-on experience by making you work on real-time industry issues
Placement assistance

All these make them a more viable option for a career in Data Science than the Online course of IIT Madras.

How does the TI sponsored MS program at IIT Madras stand out against the M.Tech courses at various IITs?

Tushar Banerjeestudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

If you are considering pursuing an MS program in India, being sponsored by Texas Instruments (TI) to do it at IIT Madras is a great option to consider. Here are some reasons why:

Salary and bond period: If you are sponsored by TI, you may receive a salary or a part of it during your studies. However, it's important to note that there may be a bond period involved, which means that you will have to work for TI for a certain period after completing your degree.
Three-year program: The MS program at IIT Madras typically takes three years to complete, which is longer than the usual two-year program for an M.Tech degree. However, the additional year will allow you to do more in-depth research, which can be helpful if you plan to pursue a Ph.D. later on.
Research opportunity: The MS program at IIT Madras will require you to conduct extensive research, which will give you valuable experience and skills that can be beneficial for your future career.
Guidance from IIT and TI: You will receive guidance from both IIT Madras and TI during your MS program. You will be assigned a guide from IIT Madras, and you may also require guidance from TI, although the rules for this may vary.
Option for an extension to Ph.D.: The MS program at IIT Madras can be extended to a Ph.D. program if you decide to continue your studies. This option can be advantageous if you are interested in pursuing a career in research or academia.

While an ME program from IISc or IIT from the old five + Roorkee is also a good option, it may not provide the same research experience as an MS program.

How is the IIT Madras online course?

Arati Sinhastudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The online Programming and Data Science course offered by IIT Madras is an additional diploma that can be completed in 3-6 years. Despite the increasing demand, I think this course lacks the necessary rigor and is unnecessary.

This course is usually undertaken by those who are already pursuing an offline engineering course alongside. Some even find it challenging to complete online assignments and give exams at their regular college.
A major part of the curriculum is already available on NPTEL. The only additional benefits are the assignments, tests, and the diploma certificate at the end. Thus, if you are solely after the knowledge and content, many other better colleges and online portals offer the course at a much lower price.
Most students choose this course for the IIT tag. But you don’t get to experience IIT campus life which is unique in itself. The students are always busy with some research work or learning new skills. You miss out on all these despite the high fees you are paying.

Ultimately you decide to make consider the pros and cons of the course. It’s advisable to talk to someone who has completed this course to get a better understanding of it.

How good is NPTEL IIT Madras' machine learning course?

Shruti TiwariStudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) IIT Madras' machine learning course is considered to be one of the best online resources for learning machine learning. It is very comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics in machine learning, and is taught by well-known experts in the field. Many students have found it to be very helpful in their studies and career development. My friend recently joined this course and shared her experience of the classes in the first week.

The lectures are conducted live and the first one gave an insight into the structure of the course. To make the most out of this course, one needs to have certain abilities.

Skilled in Python programming
Basic knowledge of MATLAB.
Knowledge of Mathematical topics of “Engineering Mathematics”.

The live lectures will be conducting discussions on

Modern algorithm of Machine Learning (ML).
Importance of journals published on ML algorithms.
Application of the knowledge acquired using open-source tools like TensorFlow.
Application of algorithm in specific engineering applications.
Implementation of ML algorithm in live project.

I would recommend checking it out if you are interested in learning more about machine learning.

Is biotechnology at IIT Madras a good course? Does it have better placements in India?

Bhavya TiwariStudied at IIT Madras

Biotechnology is rooted in Biology, not Mathematics or Analytics. If you are even remotely interested in Biology, you’ll easily understand the courses. Else, you’ll struggle in this branch. Biotech has a lot of opportunities in research.

IIT Madras Biotech will give you some industry exposure too. You’ll get equal opportunities as other branch students for non core sectors (finance, economics, consulting, analytics, management, coding, etc.). But the opportunities are very limited for core jobs.

What is the reputation of arts/humanities courses of IIT Madras?

Smita SahaB.Tech Mechanical Engineering, IIT Madras (2019)

Some of my close friends go to IIT Madras and according to them, the admission process of the Humanities courses is quite biased towards the native students.

In the past, there have been instances where the list of selected candidates contained only those belonging to the South-Indian states. Also, they don't show the marks and it's only the final merit list with the names of the students. Although there is a huge number of North Indian candidates who apply for the admissions, unfortunately, they didn't get one. The admission procedure in itself is not very transparent.

The placement record for Arts and humanities branches is average at best. There are not even non-technical jobs for the arts and humanities stream.

What are the minor courses available in IIT Madras?

Shweta DasIndian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

IIT Madras offers a wide range of minor courses that you can pursue along with your major programs. These courses are designed to help students gain additional knowledge and skills in areas of their interest and can enhance their overall academic profile. Here are some of the minor courses available at IIT Madras:

Each of these minor courses has its own set of requirements and eligibility criteria. Typically, students can opt for a minor course during their second year of study and are required to complete a certain number of credits in the chosen area of study.

which course is better than engineering in anna university ?

Vinima Bhola

No degree at Anna University is fundamentally "better" than engineering since the best choice depends on your interests, career aspirations, and the shifting nature of the labour market. However, Anna University's engineering programmes (B.E./B.Tech) are its most well-known and consistently rank highly.

Comparison Table

Course Type	Key Features	Career Prospects	Entry Requirements
B.E./B.Tech	Core engineering, many specializations	Diverse engineering roles	10+2 (science), TNEA
MBA/PGDM	Management, leadership, analytics	Managerial, consulting	Graduation, TANCET/MAT
B.Sc. (AI/Data Science)	Science, tech, data focus	Data science, analytics	10+2 (science)
MCA	IT, software, data science	Software developer, IT	Graduation, TANCET

The "better" course ultimately comes down to your own interests and professional goals. For future-focused careers, think about pursuing an MBA, MCA.
