For those who wanna transfer from math to cs
I see a lot of posts regarding transferring from Math to cs so I decided to make a post instead of explaining everything in the comments.
IBA introduced the BS Mathematics program 4 years ago in 2022, and the first batch graduated this year. Now, people have concerns about whether this degree is worth pursuing, if the faculty is good, and whether they should transfer.
So, I'll first walk you through the transfer process. You just need to take the aptitude test in Round 1 (R1) in March. Start preparing for the test in December, after your semester break. If you clear R1, that's great! You can take courses in the summer (this is only allowed for people with deficiencies). But if you don't clear R1, it’s totally fine. you can just appear for R2. Half of my batch transferred out after the first year, but they didn't just go to CS. People also transferred to Eco Math, Eco, ACF, and BBA. So, if you have an interest in any other program, make sure to apply for that school as well.
After transferring, you will have about 5 deficiencies, which you can cover in the summers and your remaining semesters.
Now, about the faculty, people say the teachers aren't really good. But I've heard students from all schools say this. There are good and bad teachers everywhere. Also, it depends on what your definition of "good" is. If a teacher is great at explaining but strict with grading, some might consider them "bad." It all depends. I hope you get my point.
Generally, the people I know who transferred specifically from Math to CS aren't too stressed about graduating exactly on time, but you absolutely can if you plan it right.
If you guys have any other questions, or if I missed anything, let me know in the comments!
