IIT Madras - BSc Degree Program - Applications are open!
IIT Madras is offering the world's first BSc Degree in Programming and Data Science. Applicants can be from any discipline and based anywhere. The programme is open to anyone who has passed Class XII, with English and Maths at the Class X level, and enrolled in any on-campus UG course. Even the current batch of students who are completing their Class XII in 2021 are eligible to apply.
This unique offering comprises three different stages - Foundational level, Diploma level and Degree level. At each stage, students will have the freedom to exit from the program and receive a Certificate, Diploma or a Degree, respectively, from IIT Madras. While the content is delivered online (students can study from wherever they are), and will comprise videos from the faculty, weekly assignments, exams are all in-person and invigilated just like any other regular course.
Process to apply: Applications are open now.
The programme does not use JEE scores but those who apply to this program will go through one-month of content with us and write an in-person qualifier exam at the end of 4 weeks. In contrast to the typical admission processes of IITs which are constrained due to the limited number of in-campus seats, in this program, all students who clear (with an overall score of 50%) the qualifier exam will be eligible to register for the foundational program.
