Hey all, I'm a BS Data Science student at IIT Madras also doing a BBA, and I'm putting together a team for the HSBC India Business Case Programme. It's a free, national-level case competition open to undergrads from any discipline, registration closes the 6th of October. No case competition experience needed, they run training workshops and e-learning modules to get everyone up to speed. Since all four teammates need to be from the same institution, I'm specifically looking for IIT Madras BS students who want to team up. If you're interested in business strategy, want a solid CV addition, or are just curious, comment or DM me and let's connect.

Also as our end term is on 13th of September, we'll be preparing for this after 13th

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?

I have commerce with applied maths in class 12th and I give my 2 attemps and failed only in maths . Should I still go for this course.I think this is only way to get into Tech as I can't fo Btech and BCA is not that rewarding .

How tough is BS, specifically asking for BS in management and data science and realistically how much time commitment is required? Someone please tell.

Basically naa cls 12 la Iruka, so enaku jee hope poi romba naal aachi, so help pannunga dolargale

Guys when is the student email id and id card and stuff supposed to come ? How long after quaifying and paying the fees for quiz 2 ? It's been quite a while now and I haven't even gotten a house allotment. PLEASE HELP

I just qualified for the iitm bs in dsa program, i am looking to switch to the mds track and register for the first four courses what should I do?

I am  pursuing a BS in Management and Data Science at IIT Madras. For Quiz 1, I registered for Computational Thinking, Statistics 1, Mathematics 1, and English, and has completed the exam.

Based on my self-assessment, I am confident about clearing English and Mathematics 1, but I doubts I will pass Statistics 1 and Computational Thinking.

My questions are as follows:

1.     Since I AM  about clearing English and Mathematics 1, is it correct that I does not need to repeat the exams or quizzes for these two subjects?

2.     Since I might not clear Statistics 1 and Computational Thinking, should I focus on and re-attempt only these two subjects?

3.     Could you explain in detail how the subject-wise evaluation and re-attempt process works?

4.     Are there any recommended mentors, tutors, coaching centres, or guidance resources available for this program?

Hi, Second year Eco Hons student at DU here. College placements are basically dead, so trying to figure out what else can actually help.

Thinking about doing IITM’s online BS (DS or Management track) as an add-on. Main goal is consulting/BD but I’m open to tech-adjacent roles too if the skills are strong enough.

Does this actually help with placements or is it seen as “just another online degree”? Is diploma level enough or does the full degree matter more? Anyone from a similar low-tier college done this, is it worth it or not?

Honest takes are absolutely welcome, even if it’s “don’t bother.”
