While talking about exams each term has 3 exams: quiz1, quiz2 and end term. All are conducted within 1 month gap. Also the exams are centre based which makes it more competitive.

IIT Madras BS degree pros and cons

4.5Helpful

Likes

Constantly organised events for students
Supportive learning environment and availability of faculties

Dislikes

Sometimes the content gets boring and repititive

Placement Experience:

This degree's first batch hasn't graduated yet so I can't give you a figure right now but I can tell you that the internship stipends are usually around 50k to 60k on average. Companies like Google and wipro are some of the places where internship offers have been made. I want to work on some of my own projects after getting the degree so yes, it is really nice. To add to all this the main part is that these students share the same opportunities as the btech students at IIT Madras.

The quality of education is top notch for sure
Network with the brightest minds of India

Placement Experience:

After 3rd year you can opt for placements in terms of internships or job offers. Being the number 1 IIT in India, it is visited by many multinational companies and the packages are quite good as well. About 80% of the students have got internships and jobs whereas the other percentage usually decides for higher studies.

There is only one thing that I don't link about the program and that is the program is online.

Placement Experience:

Campus placement facilities in the program are excellent. Though the program is online but the placements provided are really in good companies and successful startups. Infact I am also looking forward to take my first job from the on-campus placements.

BS at IITM Worth it??

3.7Helpful

Likes

Curriculum is too good, they are teaching all the things which are really important
College clubs are very friendly and all the people motivates you so much to try all the things possible

Dislikes

As this course is inline we dont usually get much chance to visit the campus
They are very strict with assignments and all that stuff

Course Curriculum Overview:

Personally i feel this is the great initiative taked by IIT-M to introduce this course as it teaches much practical knowledge and teaches only relevant things which is necessary for getting great jobs, And the curriculum is highly advanced such that it is way ahed of other degrees. The advantage is right from week 1 concepts are soo basic anyone can learn from zero and it gets interesting week by week such that you won't even realize how far you've come They ask us to dedicate 10 hors per week for one course to get good enough marks for exams. Overall the course is very good i recommend that you should definitely go for it. My suggestion to the IIT-M faculty is to keep those lectures more interesting, cause sometimes it gets so boring

Ease of access. It is all done on the cloud with the help of Google.
Quick responses. The response times are very quick and you will never feel lost.

Dislikes

No campus life. Understandable but would still have been fun.
No sense of Alma matter. Feels like a coursera thing.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is very good. It starts off very easy, building core concepts and extrapolates from it, in the later stages. It's focused very much on the fact that these skills will run the next generation. The faculty is amazing and they keep live sessions, every week, to clear all the doubts. It is like an online college, with the infrastructure done right.

IIT Madras: 3 Answered Questions

IIT Madras Vs IIT Bombay: Which campus is more beautiful?

Purnima IyerStudies at IIT Madras

Both IIT Madras and IIT Bombay for popular academic institutions in India, renowned for their academic and research excellence.

IIT Madras offers a natural and serene environment while IIT offers more modern infrastructures and architectures.
However, the beauty of the campus is dependent on your preference and other factors.
IIT Madras has a beautiful campus located in Chennai, it is spread across 25 hectares and is nestled between the Raj Bhavan campus and Guindy National Park.
The campus offers a serene atmosphere and lush greenery with iconic fractures like the Gajendra Circle and Saraswathi Auditorium.
The river Adyar flows alongside the campus of IIT Madras which enhances its natural charm.

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.

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.
