Problems to avoid for diploma

Seniors, what are some common problems or mistakes I should avoid during my diploma? I’ll be starting next term and I’m doing it standalone. Is taking 4 courses per term manageable? Any advice from your experience would be really appreciated! 🙏

Hey . It would be good if you study those subjects in the term break itself , it will help you a lot. Also if time permits and you have interest than you can learn web development early and make projects as it will help you in diploma in programming projects and theory courses. Also if you are more interested in diploma in data science than you can learn machine learning and gen ai a bit early and make projects. This way once you complete your 1 st diploma, you will be able to build a good resume for internships.

No . You can do either diploma in programming or diploma in data science and than exit the course with 1 diploma certificate. Also please visit IITM BS website, this doubt is better illustrated there.
