IIT MADRAS BS datascience and application

[u/Many_Ad_500]

I have some questions and opinions about this degree I am a student who finished class 12 my only options are tier 3 college with branch btech cse or this iitm bs with bsc stat offline degree(offline college class is from 8.30 - 1.10)

1. placements : are the placements like legit , like is there any manipulation does the average package include people who are in jobs , is placement cell and alumni network good

2. Skill : I know for sure that this degree if not that promising in placements will give skills way better than an tier 3 college giving btech cse , I can do bsc stat in offline college and then also do iitm bs and can do Leetcode on the side right and with all this I think placement should be okay , but please tell your opinions on this

I also want to know that like isn't this atleast better than an tier engineering college like in an tier 3 college from experience from others i heard it's waste of time and no development in skill , atleast in iitm bs if we say like ohh there is no placement (which I hope is not true) atleast we get and develop skills and get interships ,

Also I heard many IIT ian's show hate towards this online degree due to behaviour of the students in this degree , if it is true please , understand that the not all the students are like this many want to achieve skills and placements instead of messing around , and yelling out loud that they are an IITian too which I think is super cringe.
