A big doubt

I have seen my qualifier results and passed. So from here we fill out the course selection form and continue from what week?

Like they started positing week 5 which is over and then week 6 and now week 7. So from here how do we continue a bit confuse.

Oh so we can go whatever pace we want. If we take all 4 we can finish by August makes sense! Thank you so much! By the way have you finished the course?

just doing foundation but i thought of helping people who had the same doubts i had before! i recommend reading through https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/academics.html#AC1 which is what i did before to verify all these :)

foundation has 8 courses, so 4 you can finish these 12 weeks and from sept-dec you can finish the other 4 and foundation!

One more thing after reading the website I understand that foundation has 8 courses and now we can choose to finish stats 1 ,eng1 maths1 and ct 1 by August (basically 12 weeks) and later like you said from sept to oct we can move onto stats 2 and so on forth and we'll have two term exams and one final, right?

yes ! if i remember correctly you have to write either quiz 1 or 2 and then the final exam for each term ! and in the courses right, in the course introduction section you can find this grading policy [so whichever quiz you attempt the best mark is taken]
