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.

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.

What is your review of IIT Madras data science program?

NileshBS in Data Science from IIT Madras (Graduated 2023)

The online Data Science program at IIT Madras is a great opportunity for someone who can not attend regular college because of financial constraints, illness, or other reasons. The online BS in Data Science and Application allows students to gain knowledge of this field from one of the most reputed engineering colleges in India. 

The online lectures are taught by experienced faculty members from IITM. What I found most interesting was the professors' distinct approach to teaching. The students are routinely assisted by committed and supportive staff. 

IIT Madras has undertaken a unique approach to imparting their expertise in the highly demanded field of Data Science.

What are your thoughts on IIT Madras offering a bachelor's degree/diploma online?

Shraya HazraB.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (2020)

It is a full-time degree or diploma and so it will have more value than online. But if we compare IIT Madras’ online degree or diploma with any other college’s then it is better.

The duration of the course is 3 years. The mode of training is online, the lectures are mostly recorded and partly live sessions.

Whether the course will be good or not that depends on what subject you are planning to pursue. If you opt for a subject related to technology, then it is not a good option. This is because technology cannot be learned through books or audiovisual. It requires you to be present in the field to gain experience and knowledge.
