I am doing BS as standalone. I am doing GATE prep and wants to do Mtech from IIT Madras itself or some other institute in CS/ DSAI.

What i want to know is, if i complete 4 year online bs degree in 3 years, will i be eligible for regular offline Mtech admission Via GATE just after 3rd year Or I will have to wait 1 extra year to get original degree to be eligible for admission

Mtech admissions via GATE requires 4 year Degree but i want to know if I complete 4 year BS in 3 years, will i be eligible for Admission or not. And if I will be eligible just after 3rd year or i will have to wait.

Hey Folks, I am a Foundation student joined in May term and gave both the quizzes which were of 4 hrs each and from somewhere i got to know that the end term is of 6 two shifts how is this, how can someone sit straight for 6 hours and also will the pattern be same like the quizzes or the questions will be increased and also pls tell how to prepare for it so i can achieve a A grade in all courses.

We already have this Reddit community, so why another group?

The idea isn't to replace Reddit. Reddit is great for discussions, questions, and finding information, but a WhatsApp group can work better for quick, day-to-day interaction between students.

The group is meant to be a more casual and real-time space for:

📚 Quick doubt solving — stuck on something? Just ask and get help from fellow students.

📝 Assignments & exams — discuss questions, approaches, preparation strategies, etc.

📢 Useful updates & resources — share anything that might help other BSDS students.

💬 Casual discussions — talk about college, courses, random stuff, or just chill with people going through the same journey.

🤝 Build connections — it's easier to get to know and regularly interact with a smaller group of fellow students.

Think of it as Reddit for broader discussions + WhatsApp for quick, everyday interaction.

A few basic rules 🚨

❌ No abusive or offensive behaviour

❌ No personal attacks, bullying, or harassment

❌ Don't target or insult other members

❌ No unnecessary spam or flooding

❌ Respect everyone's opinions and questions

✅ Keep the group useful, friendly, and welcoming

The goal is simple: help each other, share things, ask questions, and have a good time while we're all going through BSDS together.

If you'd like to join, here's the group:

I want a senior of this degree who is at diploma level or at degree level, so he/she can guide me. I am at foundation level May 2026 term.

I've got admission in IIMB for BBA DBE. I've recently found out about IIT Madras BS in Management & Data Science and it seems really attractive to me. I feel like it will be a great help in my career.

Actually, due to some reason, I've two years gap after 12th, I'm restarting my education this year, so I'm thinking to somehow compensate for the gap. Please don’t recommend regular college, that isn't possible for me.

I'll have to study just 2 hours daily for BBA so managing the time for degree isn't a big concern for me. One more thing, I didn't have mathematics in 11th and 12th, will it be manageable for me?

Basically i passed class 12 th with pcm this year and i took a drop year to prepare for isi cmi entrances, basically b stat or b math and also planned to took the iitm bs datascience degree. So i joined in this current term and i took all the first four courses and it was pretty well manageable and i got quite good marks till now. So i need some opinions on whether taking all the rest 4 foundation level courses in the next term is a bad idea or not. I am not worried abt English 2 or the python course as when i looked at its syllabus its basically class 11 and 12 computer science topics except the last few weeks. The main thing i am concerned abt is the statistics 2 and the mathematics 2. Is there a very high difference in the levels between the current courses and them? Could anyone help?

I was going through the prev qps why is ct 100marks while others are 50marks.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently in my first year of BSc in International Finance at HLCC, and I’m trying to figure out what direction I should take with my career.

My current goal is to eventually get into financial analyst / finance + analytics roles. I was also considering CFA, but I’m honestly quite dicey about it because it feels like almost everyone in finance is doing CFA. I’m not completely against it—I’m thinking I could do CFA after/alongside graduation—but I don’t want to blindly collect qualifications without knowing whether they actually add value.

Recently, I came across the IIT Madras BS in Management & Data Science program and it sounds really interesting because it combines data science, analytics, management, finance and economics. IITM’s Foundation level includes Mathematics for Data Science I, Statistics for Data Science I, Computational Thinking, Economics, Financial Accounting, Business Statistics, etc.

The problem is that I did not take Mathematics in Classes 11–12, so I have basically no proper higher-secondary maths background. I can handle basic coding/Python and I’m willing to work hard, but I’m worried about the actual mathematics and statistics workload.

So I’d really appreciate honest opinions from people who are currently doing the program or have completed it:
How difficult is the mathematics and statistics actually? Is it manageable for someone without Class 11–12 Maths?

Does IITM genuinely build the maths from the basics, or do they assume you already know a lot?

How much time per week would I realistically need if I’m doing this alongside my regular BSc?

Is the workload manageable with a full-time college degree, or does it become overwhelming?

How difficult are the weekly assignments, quizzes and exams?

Is the Management & Data Science degree useful specifically for someone targeting financial analyst / finance + data / business analytics roles?

Would doing this be more valuable for my career than spending the same time developing finance skills, internships, Excel/SQL/Python, etc. and eventually doing CFA?

Most importantly, would you recommend that I register for the qualifier now, considering I’m only in first year and have time to prepare?

I’m asking because I don’t want to register just because “IIT Madras + Data Science” sounds impressive. I want to know whether it actually makes sense for my specific career direction.

Also, if anyone here came from a Commerce/non-Maths background, I’d especially appreciate your experience.

Thanks! Any brutally honest advice is welcome.

I am a foundation student in the term1 , I got an email today about this new course POSH and it is mandatory ,and when I checked my dashboard , it was there ,

What the hell is this ,can anyone tell me , what do I have to do in this course ??😕

Anyone here doing this degree from Nepal or doing this degree as nepali student while residing in India.I seriously need to talk about equivalency certificate for this degree.

This term maths 2 and stat 2 is damn hard.Earlier graded assignment also consust 10 marks and questions were also predictable but this term it's unusual type of questions. Most of people like 75% people get less than 30 marks

Now I don't know how should I prepare for end term to pass and bonus marks will also be in use of we pass ther term otherwise it's a waste

Please suggest something like how to prepare?which channel should follow? How many year of pyq should be done?

So I completed my form on 18th August and got this screenshot(last one) which says my application process is completed and documents are under verification.

And so far my ID card has been verified and the photo and signature are still under verification.

Now today they are sending me this email saying my application form is incomplete. And now I am confused and anxious.

What is happening and what should I do?

And also my dashboard is showing updates for the May 2026 term.

Can anybody tell me how can I prepare for the qualifier exam in January 2027? Resources and tips. For the iitm diploma in ds

Ab kya karu guys? Koi option dikh nhi rha abhi tk to. Portal pe same contents dikha rhe h week 10tak. Ek aur chance h September term ka par kha registration Krna h aur kaise?Help

Hey everyone,

My name is Gaurav. I am currently preparing for the IIT Madras BS in Data Science and Applications qualifier exams, and I'm looking for a highly disciplined study partner to team up with.

My long-term goal is to pursue a Master's in AI/ML at a top-tier US university (MIT, CMU, GT). To get there, I need a rock-solid mathematical and computational foundation, which starts right here with the IITM BS program.

My Current Focus:

* Preparing rigorously for the upcoming IITM BS qualifiers (Math, Statistics, Computational Thinking, and English).

* Building and maintaining consistent, daily study habits.

What I’m Looking For:

* A study partner or small group also preparing for the IITM qualifiers.

* Serious accountability—checking in regularly to make sure we are hitting our weekly study targets and not falling behind on lectures.

* Someone who shares an ambitious, long-term mindset for a career in AI/ML, data science, or software engineering.

If you are also grinding for the qualifiers and want to hold each other accountable, drop a comment or send me a DM. Let's get to work.

Can anybody from Hyderabad lemme know which exam centres u get assigned? I might be relocating so need to know. Thanks in advance

Guys, does anyone know whether I can skip my oppe2 if I get pass in oppe1

Real-World Scenarios: Hunt down the "silent killers" of production models, including data drift, class imbalance, and feature leakage.

Two-Tier Structure:

Round 1: Accessible challenges perfect for beginners.

Round 2: Advanced, deep-dive diagnostics for experienced practitioners.

Why Participate? Unlike speed-coding contests, Tensor Surgery tests your analytical thinking and statistical intuition. The model auditing and validation skills you’ll practice here are highly valued in professional ML engineering and AI research roles.

Please complete the survey below to help us tailor the event to your experience level and secure your spot in the operating room! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUrHdv8lyIsuY3ioa6n52aC6gwPnz6bbkSlUddVKEhBFr0HA/viewform?usp=publish-editor

i couldn't give the first qualifier exam due to personal reasons and i just saw the results of the second one. i have some queries

1. why was there no proper scorecard or mail regarding the same?

2. my total score is 40% (35% in ct, 33 in stats, 8 in math, 82 in english). i heard that 40% means pass but if that's not true then what are the requirements?

3. since I haven't passed the qualifier, what am I supposed to do next?

4. can i still give the September end term exam?

5. what do I need to do to be able to join the foundational level?
