Review of IITM bs degree foundation course in data science.
Placements: The course is very good and easy to use and the placement rates are excellent so many students get placed in by completing this course. It's also an opportunity to pursue another course side by side so we get double placement. They also provide internships for students.
Infrastructure: Since it's an online degree, we have a very suitable lifestyle and environment near me. I can easily access the course from any part of the world. When we visit the campus for a week for our paradox event, it's so much fun and all the hostels are very good.
Faculty: Faculty and curriculum are very good and conducting exams is also very convenient for students. Faculty members teach at a very good speed so people from non-CS backgrounds can also understand the material very well. And all the papers are conducted on Sunday.

Overall it is a good college. But my expectations are more.
Placements: First of all, this course is very boring due to the online classes. But the college is doing its best to engage students. And if we talk about placements, this scenario is not too good. But yes, lots of students are placed as interns. They are providing support.
Infrastructure: The courses are well structured. They start very simply. In the Foundation Diploma, B.Sc., you will learn basic statistics and math in foundations and additionally Python. After completing every level, they will provide certificates. And the duration of each semester is four months.
Faculty: BS faculty members are excellent evan their supports teams are very nice. College provide daily live classes with instructors. Overall instructor are fully supportive. But one disadvantages is professor are pre recorded. And pre-recorded is very boring.
Other: Over okay.

Absolutely satisfied by this programme.
Placements: We don't need to talk about placements when we are talking about NIRF 1 institute from past 6 years about placements. Above 80% students are placed. About package I am not having enough knowledge but IIT tag itself increases your CTC. NO NEED TO WORRY BEST COURSE.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of all IIT's aee the best hostels are clean too. Equipped with Wi-Fi ethernet cables Fast speed internet Very soon you will be experiencing JIO, AIRTEL, VODAFONE IDEA, BSNL 5G connection in the campus. Library and classrooms are spacious and good.
Faculty: Exams are tougher than rest offline courses as you have to get 40% min in every graded assignment and mock test when you quiz1, quiz2, end term exam will happen then too you will have to score more than 40% and average of all should be 50%. On average in one year there are approximately 160 exams.
Other: I chose this course becuase it was online and having offline exams by which it won't be considered as online course and having 160 exams already prooves it to be tougher than offline or on campus degrees.

I am satisfied with this college.
Placements: After completing the Diploma and degree level, we get a foundational certificate. Then, we can get placed accordingly.
Infrastructure: This is an online degree, and we only visit college during fests. The infrastructure is good. We visited in 2022 May for IITM Paradox, and it was awesome. We met our teachers. Numerous games, quizzes and competitions were held. Overall, I am fortunate enough to study at IIT Madras.
Faculty: Graded assignments are held every week and in the center. Exams are a good way to test the students' knowledge. The curriculum is the latest one and is up to date. You can take more or fewer subjects depending on how fast you want to complete this degree.
Other: Scholarships are provided according to your family's annual income. Extracurricular activities are held in between by our clubs and houses. There are 8 courses offered in our college.
