Hi everyone,
I'm interested in participating in the ICPC but I'm not sure about my eligibility. My offline uni has 0 coding culture and the uni is prolly not even registered. So IITM is my only hope. My qns are:
1: Are students in the IITM BS in Data Science program eligible to represent IIT Madras in ICPC?
2: Has anyone from the BS program participated in ICPC before?
Thanks!
I genuinely like the IIT Madras BS in Data Science and Management program. Academically, I've learned a lot and I don't regret choosing it.
But one thing I wasn't prepared for was the isolation.
I tried applying for internships but couldn't land one. I go to the gym, swim, and stay active, yet I still struggle to build meaningful connections. In a regular college, you naturally make friends, work on projects together, and build a network. In an online degree, that part feels missing.
Anyone else in the IITM BS program (or any online degree) feels the same? How did you deal with the isolation and build a good network?
I am a biotech graduate(Bsc) and I want to transition into data science , I registered for May term 2026 for qualifier level and I realised that even to complete one diploma it would take me around Jan 2028. It is too late for me till that time to get an internship and placement. My 1st priority is to get a job ASAP due to financial constraints and leaving my hometown for job or paid internship . After researching a lot I have following pathway!!!
I will 2nd quiz exam which is on Aug 2026 and quit the qualifier level there followed by registering into standalone double diploma course ,if I do this I will complete my one diploma till May 2027 and will have access to register myself on placement portal(iic). But mere registering won't get me a job, I have to work hard for the same
Now I know will loose access to other higher levels like Bsc and BS but this is the best shot due to immediate requirement of job.
Now to increase my chances of getting a job I would do Msc in Al and Ml parallel and i know just getting a degree won't matter, but it will increase my knowledge as this my transitioning phase and will be helpful for me to building projects by myself which will eventually increase chances of hiring or paid internship etc.Further after 2 years I will be eligible for Mtech admission. I can do Job parallelly until I get a good score in GATE
I am ready to work my ass off throughout but utmost priority is to get a job by next year by any means.
I want to know from seniors or someone who have finished the diploma ? is it possible?
Quick question 1- I have heard that we can do both diplomas but have to register for one as mentioned on the website, the examination date of both diplomas is same which is 13 th sept 2026 . Further this diploma will be completed around may 2027 and remaining one has to be registered around may 2027 so I will be done with double diploma till Jan 2028(16 months)
Q-2- Which diploma(data science or programming) I should go for to increase my chances of getting a job?
Hi everyone, I recently completed the Diploma in Programming in the January term, and my current CGPA is 7.1
So far, I've completed only Machine Learning Foundations (MLF) from the Diploma in Data Science. In the current May term, I am taking MLT and BDM theory courses.
Assuming everything goes as planned, I'll complete my Diploma level by the end of this year before moving on to the BSc level next year.
My question is:
Is it realistically possible to bring my CGPA up to around 8.0 by the time I finish the Diploma level?
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has managed to significantly improve their CGPA during the Diploma stage, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. I'd also appreciate any advice on what kind of grades I'd need in the remaining courses to make this possible.
Thanks in advance! 🖤
Hi, i recently got selected for the Msc DSAI course at IITM. I did my UG in a tier 2 college and i did Bsc, not engineering. I’m pretty nervous about how difficult it is to survive in IIT as a student with a Science background and not an Engineering background. Plus i have more theoretical knowledge and have some experience building AI models and projects. I also heard that the coursework and academia would be very hectic. Since i’m currently a Bsc graduate, my knowledge span is limited, but i’m willing to grind to reach the level of an engineering student who got selected for this course. On a scale of 0-10, how much can i survive this course. Any tips and advice? Anything i should study beforehand joining this course? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Same as the title. I didn't get it, so Im asking my peers. Chronologically, it should have been uploaded by 2 July. Today is 3 July.
JAVA lectures are shit, is there any channel or playlist on yt that I could watch
basically i hv decided to do dis IIT M ka BS standalone for the first year, along with jee drop which ik sounds hectic, but i think i might be able to manage, cuz this year i scored 72 percentile, which ik sounds really bad but i think i can improve and manage, so seniors in what way should i select the courses for foundation for a bit less academic pressure,, pls lmk
It says it needs invite, I mailed the discourse staff but he hasn't replied yet.
Is anyone able to see their marks for Week 2 Graded Assignment in Maths 1?
I'm getting CSE in a college which has very few placements and the crowd there is also average and companies don't visit that college, no on campus internships but good thing is that it has bit relaxed rules.
I'm confused about opportunities and internship criteria from placement (IIC).
Will they allow me to sit for placements. And about internships from IIC, do they allow dual degree students ?
Should I join any other college with decent placements?
Hi guys could you please share your opinion on this matter.... I am looking for a part time....work from home job
I just wanted to know whether doing the practice assignments, GA's and other NGA's enough for qualifier as the pa's alone make up for 70+ questions or do I need to practice from other sources cuz idk if the qualifier will be of the level of Ga's and Pa's or much tougher.
Hey Guys How is it been going?Share your experience below..
Do you guys feel its tough?Or Easy?
Lmk!!
Hi IIT MADRAS people I am a student in chemical engineering in NIT Trichy and currently thinking of taking into IIT MADRAS BS DSAI for better opportunity in tech world. I feel sorry for you guys that some uncivilized BS students do all that they should learn some civics sense, can you fellow students who are persuing( only intellectual people ) is it really a good course i really want to take it. Can I visit IIT Madras and get reasearch with professors and LOR for masters abroad.
So I am doing a double degree BS IITM and BTech from tier 2.5 . The thing is my end sem is currently going on and till the next three weeks I am totally occupied from everywhere. As my end sem would end on 15th July & and Quiz 1 of bs is on 19th July . Yes I got alternative breaks between the exams in end sems but in those breaks I have to complete the weekly assignments and contents of IITM and also have to study for the next exams . The workload is like crazy rn. That's why I would like to ask for suggestions from seniors or my peer how they were managing their time effectively . As even if my clg exams end I want to learn diff stuffs like Dev I have to do dsa and many more things but if i'// remain stucked in this weekly assignment and contents watching loop I don't think so I'// be able to make some difference. So seniors pls give me some valuable advice to manage my time after the end sem .
& My peer if you are also doing double degree then I would like to connect to you all by any means for our better collective growth. I may write another post for this if you are interested to connect with people like me . Just drop your answers .
Thank you for reading all this .
Hello, I'm starting college soon and thinking of which degree to do for a robotics software engineer. I'm interested in automation. I want to build a system not just a humonoid robot but any system that is related to automation. And I tried ros2 and gazebo and I did find it interesting and also I find eps and microcontrollers interesting.
So, mostly I want to work on the software heavy side but some won't care if there are some circuits.
I can choose between Computer Engineer or Electronic Systems.
Here is the Electronic Systems syllabus: https://study.iitm.ac.in/es/academics.html#AC1
Now, by seeing this syllabus can anyone answer my question, should I do electronic systems or computer engineering.
Thanks for reading and I hope I'll get my answer.
i haven't received any comm regarding this
what should i do
how do we resubmit docs
Context: So apparently there's a meme or something where someone wrote that he is crane operator at IITM and then this guy who himself is doing Btech in IITM wrote this comment comparing IITM BS degree graduate to a crane operator. It just sounds so Toxic to me and idk why there's so much hate when this degree is pretty tough to complete from what I've heard
