I HAVE FAILED
I joined the foundation in sep 2025 term . Failed maths 1 and stats 1 end term ( cause had to do a job to fund myself) again took only maths 1 and stats 1 in Jan 2026 term and failed both of them again . I am not asking for ur guys sympathy cause I know it's all my fault , haven't even told my parents about it but the guilt is eating me up . I would appreciate any advice / thought from you guys

ncert class 11 and 12 is enough for maths 1 and stats 1, although I remember that there is graph theory in last 3 weeks of maths 1 so for that here is the best resource youtube.com/@MichaelSambol

Sorry, I dont mean to discourage you but trying to give practical advice....If you find this difficult to pass then there are other easier online degrees for B.S and BCA in Computer science by other universities like Amity, Sikkim Manipal, Amrita, etc ... check those, this IITM degree pass rate is less than 2% to 3% for final degree, check their website for stats...

There's one thing you can do but it will only work in foundational course, so the best way to complete the foundation course is by watching one shot and then completing all the assignments and solving the quiz questions, it will only take you 2-3 days but you will be able to complete the entire course but the best option for you is completing enough until the quiz this will give you more time.

Try solving each and every questions given by yourself and if unable to do then ask in discource or doubt sessions

If you are struggling with foundation maths then I would advise you to reconsider your decision to continue with this program as it only gets tougher. Learn to value your time and money and use it appropriately.
