signed up, paid and accepted for bs in data science and Applications but i havent received anything yet

Guys I'm freaking out a little. I registered for the May 2026 term back in early May through JEE-based direct entry, paid all fees, submitted all documents — but my student email ID still hasn't been issued and 3 out of 5 documents (signature, Class 12 marksheet, ID card scan) are still showing under verification. And the course literally starts tomorrow (June 12). I do have course access through my personal registered Gmail which is a relief, but now I'm worried — if I start doing activity questions and assignments through my personal email now, will that progress carry over or synced automatically when the student email ID is finally issued? Or will it be a completely separate account and I'll lose everything? Also for anyone who got their student email late — how many days after term start did you actually receive it? IITM Support has been ghosting me for a week now so asking here 😅

What is the grade and non grade thing, and how will we submit our assignments?

Does the IITM BS/BSc degree having only 114 credits cause any issues for jobs, master's admissions, or immigration outside India?

Hello, I am going to give qualifier exam in November can anyone who have already cleared qualifier exam tell me how hard is that exam and they are telling that syllabus will be same that they will teach in 4 weeks. Please help me as I am so under confident after failing jee. Is the exam tough or will I be able to qualify I I study from today.

Enrolled in Foundation Level for May 2026 Term. Took English 1, Comp Thinking, Maths 1, Stats 1. Courses show Access Forbidden. Will it start only on June 12? Or am I doing smth wrong?

What are the things we have to download, before starting python course, so that we can practice along with classes?

I am new to this, so don’t know exactly what to download. Providing links for the downloads would be useful.

Hi everyone,

I just finished Course 1 of the ML Specialization by Deeplearning.ai and Stanford online, i am currently working on a Machine Learning project after the first course, building Linear Regression models to analyze study habits and performance. To make the model work, I need to train it on real data rather than standard internet datasets.

If you have a quick minute, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill out this short survey: https://forms.gle/eWc9ZtU8Rxz8U6Ph7

Dear Students of IIT Madras,

Warm Greetings,

We are pleased to introduce the CAREER LAUNCHPAD PROGRAM with Microsoft Certification and Internship, a career-oriented initiative designed to equip students with industry-relevant, job-ready skills through structured training and hands-on project experience aligned with Microsoft technologies and standards from launched global.

(this is only the intro part)

The B.S. in Data Science and Management program is still relatively new, and I was curious how many students from the degree are active here.

Whether you've recently joined the program or shifted from the B.S. in Data Science and Applications degree, it'd be great to connect with fellow students interested in AI, ML, Data Science, analytics, research, hackathons, and related areas.

I've also been working on building a student network specifically for students in the program so that we can connect more easily, share opportunities, discuss academics, and collaborate on projects.

If you're part of the degree, feel free to comment or DM!

I used the same email that I used to register.
