Course Curriculum Overview

4

Previously I joined Sage university, Bhopal. The curriculum was extremely weak in terms of real world applications. When I came across this degree and gave a look towards curriculum it was astonishing. There was everything from scrath to becoming a professional in Data science. It is totally designed by industry standards and I believe it makes super job ready in real world. For me right now it's a perfect college and I am enjoying the degree so nothing on improvement on course curriculum or teaching methods. Exam happens every month in this degree. It's a single day exam but the level of exam is very rigorous. It demands your time and efforts.

Internships Opportunities

3

There are multiple internship offered throughout four years with an avergae stipend of 60- 90 k per month. As of now I haven't been part of any internship so I don't the requirements but there are plethora of opportunities available.

Placement Experience

3.5

From 3rd year onwards students can be part of placement assistance. Moreover, throughout four years you receive offers for internships. As it is a new degree so no official data is avaliable on name of companies and no. of offers. However, though sources it is shared that avergae package range around 15- 20 lakhs per annum. I plan to do my masters in data science from some American University.

Fees and Financial Aid

The total fees for the course is around- 350000 Rupees. The yearly fees depends on the course as for the first year which is foundational Level you need to pay - 32000. For second year which includes two diploma it requires- 125000 And the 3rd and 4th year each requires about a - 1 lakh Rupees. There are scholarship benefits depending on the category. As if you are from any backward cast you can avail 50% to 75% scholarship. Moreover in my case I submit my EWS certificate and I belonged to a range on annual income less than 5 lakh so I got 50% fee waiver. Apart from this you can receive scholarships if you have a good cgpa for which you do not need to apply. They just see your performance and grant some amount of scholarship. As I received 16000 rupees.

Campus Life

3.5

As it is an online degree so not much events can happen. But an early festival named paradox happen on-campus. Also students are divided into seprate clubs and mulitple meet-ups and online events and competitions take place.

Admission

There is no as such eligibility for the course you just need to be 18+ and must have completed your grade 12th. Eveyrhing from application form/fees/dates are available on their website. There 3 intakes every year so you could apply three times in a year. There are many reservation benefits but it depends on your category. I belong to general caste but got 50% fee waiver through ews. You could according to your reservation. I believe the admission process should get a little tough so that someone doesn't stay in a delusional world in considering this degree as an easy degree.

Faculty

4.5

As I said, IIT provides their own college professor for this degree. They are teaching all the courses so they are highly qualified in their respective fields. There is no issue of student to teacher ratio as it's an online degree. At any point of time you can interact with the faculty and get your doubts cleared as they are available on discourse as well as online sessions.

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.

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.

Placement statistics are low for now as the course is new but the highest package as far as I know was 25 lpa and avg package is around 8-9 lpa. It's not really about the package but the opportunities IIT Madras opens for you. My plan is to get a master's degree in the same field and continue from there.
