IIT Madras (IITM) All Questions

Hi Praveen,

The answer to your question could have been more specific had you given options of other universities to compare with. Nevertheless, speaking generally, the online data science course created by IIT Madras has a fantastic curriculum, but at the same time a big problem lies in the fact that it is online and is a bit expensive compared to other online courses. Also, they have specified that they provide job assistance and not job guarantee.

Another demerit of online courses is that, you'll lack a proper communication with your faculty and peers which prohibits good networking. This point could still have been taken down had they lowered down the fees or provided at least job assurance.

Keeping all these points in mind, I feel,  taking up the course might not be such a wise decision. Perhaps you can browse other online courses, free YouTube tutorials and wait and see how their placement goes and based on that you can actually take up the course in future.

Hello Aspirant,

As you have not mentioned the course in which you are seeking admission in IIT Madras or IIT Bombay so it is little bit difficult to guide you an accurate information but if we go through your profile then it shows that you are an engineering aspirant so you might be interest in admission to B.Tech course. If I am wrong then please correct me in the comment section below I would be helping you further with relevant information.

Now for admission to B.Tech courses in any of the IITs is taken solely on the basis of rank secured in JEE-Advance. JEE-Advance is an engineering entrance examination conducted by any of the IITs in rotation every year for admission to B.Tech courses offered in IITs. To be eligible for JEE-Advance one needs to sit for JEE-Main which is conducted four times in an year by NTA and should qualify in JEE-Main with qualifying cut-off percentile which are expected for 2021 like :-

• Common Rank List (CRL) - 90- 95 Percentile
• GEN-EWS - 70- 75 Percentile
• Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 70- 75 Percentile
• Scheduled Caste (SC) - 50- 55 Percentile
• Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 40- 45 Percentile
• PwD - 1-2 Percentile

Note that in above table it is not the actual cut-off for JEE-Main 2021 but expected on the basis of previous year's analysis. You can check out previous year's cut-off trends from the link given below :-

Hello student

hope you are doing great. As per your query  I would glad to inform  you that data science is not a stream ,it is subfield of computer science(kind of specialization) . Degrees are mostly done in streams where subjects are data science ,AI are taught so that student can have muitple options to adopt in carreir . In online data science course,they mainly focus on data science only so the duration is short but the sylllabus is same ,infact online course makes your fundamentals very strong

Hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future

hi,

see iit  b.sc program is online mode of learning. students may complete the course at their space of time taking 3-6 years. however it can not be considered as full time course. most of the university in India requires full time b.sc course graduates to take admission in masters course. so if you get admission in any college for full time b.sc course you should go for it. simultaneously you may do the iit madras b.sc online course to gain proficiency in data science.

If you want to do MSc from the IIT's then you have to qualify the IIT JAM examination Physics. The eligibility for the examination is that you should have 55% or 6 CGPA in your BSc Physics/ BSc PCM. Now the form fill up for IIT JAM 2022 will start from 30/08/2021 and you can apply for it if you are appearing in 2022 final year or if you have passed your graduation.

Hello dear candidate,

IIT Madras is one of the finest and premier colleges in India. An IIT tag is itself enough to change the life of an individual. However, the skills and the learning ability plays a major role when it comes to trying skills in the real world.

See, A BSC in diploma and Data science course is good but you need to understand about the future with a chance of jobs. As after passing from the institute all you will need is a job. IIT Madras does not promise to provide job opportunities and placements. The degree just adds a tag of an IITIAN to the resume.

It is worth it if you do not want to do jobs further but not completely. There are no placements and job opportunities. So, it depends upon you whether go into the course or not.

Think about all the circumstances and then make a wise decision.

I hope this answer helps you.

Since you have not mentioned your category so considering it as General.

As we go through the latest cut-offs of JEE-Advance 2020 of JOSAA 6th round then it shows that :-
