Remarks :
After reading the curriculum of the program and how they structured it, I was immediately drawn towards it to further my expertise in the Data Science domain. The IIT Madras brand value speaks for itself. The college divided the curriculum into 3 zones. Foundation level, Diploma Level and Degree level. Each level has it's own curriculum carefuly curated to dive methodically into the Data Science domain. The college also offered a list of multiple Open Electives related to programming and Computer Science which are at par with knowledge required at Industry Level.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course curriculum is skillfully crafted and prepared to best encourage and teach the students and ensure maximum learning.The content provided is easy to grasp and explained with top-notch proficiency. Our content coordinator is extremely resourceful and very approachable. The Faculty is extremely cooperative and involved with students. We have weekly industrial meets that enable us to get in touch with Tech Leaders in various Computer Science companies and other tech related domains. College also has a very active Alma connect (meetings with alumnis of IIT Madras).
Internships Opportunities :
ACM summer school internships.
Placement Experience :
Students become eligible to apply for internships after completing the Diploma level of the examination and can also sit for placements then as they can choose to exit the program with a diploma in Data Science and Programming. I am currently in the foundation level of the examination and plan on graduating with a B.Sc. degree in Data Science and Programming. The placements for the program look extremely promising.
Fee Structure And Facilities :
The college tuition is extremely affordable with 4000 INR per subject, per semester. There is scholarship available for students with family income under 5LPA INR. Financial assistance is also available for those in need provided they attach verified documents to justify their need to seek financial help.
