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.

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.

Good luck and Thank you:)
