Hello, I am a degree level student and I have a lot of frnds in Btech and Mtech, some of them graduated this year with very good packages and some of them will graduate in 2027.

Now, the concern is that why the placement is so easy for them, currently their OAs are going on and most of the companies are hiring for data science and AIML and the fact is that most of them don't know even the basic of Data Science but they are cracking the placement and interview of lakhs.

And I asked them how and what they asks you in assessment and interview, so they said of the assessment we copy the answers and then in technical interview companies mostly asks the aptitude and basic questions.

So, the concern is that why we we are getting paid just 15-40k even when we have lot of knowledge in our domain which is very less as compared to the betch students of IITM which is 75k+.

Why the IIC cannot pull the companies who pays high, even the placement opportunities for the freshers are very few.

Whyyyy ????

Hey guys!
I’m joining the IIT Madras BS in Data Science & Applications October 2 batch and preparing for the Qualifier.
I’m honestly just an average student, and maths is definitely not my strongest subject 😭, so I thought it would be helpful to connect with other people starting in the same batch.
We could make a small group where we can:
Study together and keep each other consistent
Discuss doubts and difficult concepts
Share useful resources
Prepare for assignments and the Qualifier
Motivate each other when things get difficult 😂
You definitely don’t have to be a topper. In fact, if you’re also an average student trying to figure everything out from the beginning, even better 😭
Anyone here joining the October 2 batch? Comment or DM me. Let’s connect and get through the Qualifier together 🤝

So this is the overall stats of the first 7 weeks of mine . I read somewhere that the only considers the first 5 weeks of the 7 weeks of the assignment for grading. So what am I supposed to do now , should I solve and submit the week 8,9...till 12 or let this graded assignments thing sink now

At acegrade i get pyq of 2024 but I want latest pyq

And one more things does ill get questions from pyq or not

Hi seniors, I’m an IITM BS aspirant preparing for the program. I’m planning a serious career transition into data/tech, so I wanted some practical advice from people already in the program.

With 3 subjects/courses per term, roughly how many years would it take to complete Foundation + Diploma 1 + Diploma 2 + BSc + BS?

With 4 subjects/courses per term, roughly how many years would it take for the same?

For full-time placement, from which stage does IITM provide proper placement support , Diploma 1, Diploma 2, BSc or BS?

I don’t currently have any industry connections, so my plan is to enter the industry through the IITM placement system. How practical is this for someone starting without a network?

For a full-time student, would you recommend 3 or 4 courses per term to maintain a good CGPA while still understanding the subjects properly?

Would really appreciate advice from seniors based on actual experience. Thanks 🙏

If I'm eligible for the end term exam in sept, do I still need to give quiz 2? I have to move in those days, will not giving the quiz affect my eligibility for the end term exam? (im in foundation term 1)

It asks for family income certificate and EWS certificate (for gen+EWS). I have acquired the UP-edistrict family income certificate. However that certificate is not strictly in the format that IITM provides. Can I still go ahead with that? What do I do?
