The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) is inviting applications for BS in Data Science and Applications & Electronic Systems. Interested students can apply through the website — study.iitm.ac.in/ds and study.iitm.ac.in/es.
The last date to apply for the upcoming batch is May 26.
IIT Madras will offer up to 75 per cent scholarships to the economically disadvantaged learners.
These programmes have two paths for learners to enter for interested candidates. Students can join the programme through a self-contained qualifier process without appearing for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). The second option is direct admission to candidates who have qualified to appear for JEE Advanced 2023 or 2024.
These two programmes provide accessible and affordable high-quality education to anyone who wishes to pursue a degree from IIT Madras. Data Science and Electronics Systems are the two areas with the largest job opportunities and are projected to keep growing through the years.
The Electronic Systems programme comprises a mix of theory classes and laboratory courses. The lab experiments are so designed that students can perform these at home and submit their findings. For the final evaluation, students will have to visit IIT Madras campus.
Students from all streams such as engineering, humanities, commerce, economics, sciences, law, and medicine, among others, can apply to the BS in Data Science and Applications, while those who have studied Math and Physics in their class 12 can apply to the BS in Electronics Systems.
