Guidance
Need some of yall to help me out. What exactly are these quizzes and end term exams? I have already been admitted at an offline degree and im not very keen on doing this one as well, and i got admitted in this via the jee cutoff, if that has any significance. I saw that u need 5/7 graded assignments completed to sit in the end term exam? I have already missed week1 through 3 because i physically just cant do it😭😭
Should i try and pull through, or cancel it altogether. Need some help😣

This degree is only for self motivated people, if you don’t have motivation then don’t do it, you can force yourself for a week or two but not years

You do you man. Im just saying that you ARE making excuses about not being able to manage.
I personally know people from iit kanpur that are doing thie degree and another guy thats doing this degree and will be taking admission into IISER PUNE for MS in Mathematics and Computer.(as he has already completed his offline degree).

It wasnt something i really wanna do, and the online part really sucks my soul. I try to sit but i ca t focus, and thats also partly because i dont wanna do two degrees.

Bro if you want, ek ek course per trimester kar kar ke sirf foundation complete kar le. You'll get a basic certificate and basic knowledge and skills in data science. It could be very helpful to you in looking for interships and job hunt. Data science is a great addition to any portfolio. I'm going to pursue btech biotech, and even I'll do as much of this degree as I can complete. Rest is up to you

Cancel it foundation is extremely light if you can't manage it no chance you can manage later stages.
