Recovering_babe · Answer

is it a graduation course?

skylar · Answer

yeah... in online mode for 3-4 yrs... considering that it's gonna be a drop yr.. I'm thinking about taking it.

zestyHawk4 · Answer

iit offers bsc?....i didn't knew about this....i only knew that iit offers msc

zestyHawk4 · Answer

and i heard that data science is a good emerging course now with high scope....so ig it will be good to take it

zestyHawk4 · Answer

btw why is it online???...all the offline classes has started in iit isn't it??

skylar · Answer

most of the iits offer btech and few diplomas (new concept) , this bsc  in data sci particularly is a new course started since prev yr.

skylar · Answer

for offline course one needs to get into it through jee adv. - it'll have some eligibility criteria and restrictions. and this one which I'm talking about has no restricting criteria... any age group or a 10th  Or 12th graduate from any stream can join.

zestyHawk4 · Answer

without giving adv?

skylar · Answer

online mode

zestyHawk4 · Answer

one can attend online mode in iit without giving jee adv??

skylar · Answer

yeap , it's from iit m

zestyHawk4 · Answer

oh I see...then ig u should take it as data science has a good scope in future and it's from iit

zestyHawk4 · Answer

just have one question will u doing any other course alongside with this...as it's online??

skylar · Answer

I'm taking this yr as drop... so I'm considering it... but u can do it along with other course (offline or online) if u want there's no bar

zestyHawk4 · Answer

oh ok I'll consider it....btw is the degree worth? as the students didn't gave jee adv??

zestyHawk4 · Answer

btw do u know the course fee?

skylar · Answer

yeah it is... see jee adv is just a exam to select best of the best student for engineering (b.tech courses)as there are very less no. of seats. let's be honest there that these exams sucks out energy and creative of the students which leads to the early burnout in their adulthood... I think that these courses are great initiative..which provides flexibility and gives control to the students to explore more.

zestyHawk4 · Answer

oh ok... I'll look into this matter then

skylar · Answer

about fees I'm researching abt it... the application fee is ₹3000 , which includes  a 4 week lectures and assignments  , then there will be a qualifier exam. if u qualify this exam , u'll get into foundation level... then here's were we submit some amt of fees.... thats how it goes.. for each another phase/level there's some amt to pay

zestyHawk4 · Answer

btw how was ur 12th if u don't mind me asking....u gave ur 12th this year right?

zestyHawk4 · Answer

do u know the amount of fees we need to pay after qualifying....have they mentioned it?

skylar · Answer

my results were meh! taking best 5 subj ,i get around 78%

zestyHawk4 · Answer

my result also want that great

zestyHawk4 · Answer

so what are u planning to do in this drop year?

skylar · Answer

it's somewhere around 30k after qualifiers exam, i think for whole 3-4 yrs degree along with internships (grad.) , it goes around 1L -1.5L ... I'm not like 100% sure . I found this in some article

skylar · Answer

the same, will be giving neet, mains and ipmat I guess... my parents aren't really keen on of me.. it's just me trying to get a decent college hopefully far away from here

zestyHawk4 · Answer

oh ok... thank u for the information

skylar · Answer

lemme know if u plan to join, last date is  19 aug

zestyHawk4 · Answer

i see...i was also planning to take a drop but i don't think i can handle one more year studying 12th books...tbh now i really want to go to college.....but as my 12th marks isn't that great....so i don't think I'll get any good college now....but I'll work hard from now on

skylar · Answer

toh, u gonna take a drop or not? or are u still in deciding phase?

zestyHawk4 · Answer

yeah I'll let u know....first let me talk with my parents

zestyHawk4 · Answer

no i won't be taking a drop

zestyHawk4 · Answer

hey i think the course can be really beneficial as iitm says that they will give placements and internship to the students who completes diploma in data science

skylar · Answer

yeah, that it seems so...,it's worth giving a short... still it's gonna take time to convince parents  .

zestyHawk4 · Answer

yes true

zestyHawk4 · Answer

there are many benefits to it as it is online and we can do other courses while doing the data science course.... and it's from IIT without giving any jee exam..... with many placements and internship

zestyHawk4 · Answer

let me know if u apply for it

skylar · Answer

sure... I think I will be applying..... after qualifiers score... we can decide , where to go from there. when r u starting u college tho?

zestyHawk4 · Answer

i have applied to some colleges and they will release the merit list from 10th aug....so ig I'll be joining college from sep or oct.....i really don't have that much  idea regarding this actually

zestyHawk4 · Answer

btw can u tell me the time period of this course??

skylar · Answer

it depends....the full course takes around 3-4 yrs. and 8 months -2 yrs on diploma. time factor depends upon how much time u devote to it... they recommend giving it at least 10hrs a  week.

zestyHawk4 · Answer

by full course u mean the fundamental course, diploma, bsc and bs?

zestyHawk4 · Answer

or just the fundamental course?

skylar · Answer

bsc as in degree level

zestyHawk4 · Answer

suppose if i do fundamental course diploma bsc bs everything then how much time will it take?

skylar · Answer

3-4 yrs max, if u r devoting enough time needed.

zestyHawk4 · Answer

u mean 10hrs a week?

skylar · Answer

yeap, attending lectures, doing assignments, projects, etc... at some u will need to devote some time to learn some programming language for basics like python or java or c++

zestyHawk4 · Answer

like as they said we can do this course alongside with other course...ig we can't do that then

skylar · Answer

time management + it's kind of flexibile... if u go to their web u can find abt this.., like they adjust batches or something... I don't there's much pressure.... as they give out content per week wise... expect us to submit the same way. I'm still researching tho.

skylar · Answer

it's more abt making the most of the info +knowledge they provide... and learning skills

zestyHawk4 · Answer

oh i see

zestyHawk4 · Answer

ok ok

zestyHawk4 · Answer

I'll surely go through the website....and tell me parents about this course

zestyHawk4 · Answer

i watched some yt videos regarding data science in iit....it said computing thinking and statistics are tough

skylar · Answer

well it is computing thinking and statistics.... can't say until I try it.. tho

zestyHawk4 · Answer

earlier i was thinking doing this with my other bsc....but now after watching those videos i am little doubtful....that can i manage two degrees at same time

skylar · Answer

what major r u gonna pursue?

zestyHawk4 · Answer

chemistry

skylar · Answer

then it can be a bit tedious to handle.

zestyHawk4 · Answer

well I'll see the qualifier exam and they will also give us material.... I'll see then that can i do it or not

zestyHawk4 · Answer

and they said like min a student need to give 10hrs a week

skylar · Answer

so u gonna apply?

zestyHawk4 · Answer

i haven't talk with my father yet and I'll ask my chem teacher that will it be difficult to manage both the degree

zestyHawk4 · Answer

I'll let u know in 2-3 days

skylar · Answer

okay

zestyHawk4 · Answer

are u applying??

skylar · Answer

I'll tell u in few days too, there's a high chance I would try at least

zestyHawk4 · Answer

oh good.

deep_thinker · Answer

hey

deep_thinker · Answer

u decided?

skylar · Answer

not yet..! I haven't discussed with my father yet.

deep_thinker · Answer

It would be better to join the course temporarily and at the same time continue practicing for NEET

skylar · Answer

yeap, that's what I'm thinking... if I change my mind in future.. I can just settle for diplomas (at the end of 2yrs) -and work Internships or part time jobs...

deep_thinker · Answer

yeah, It will also help you to reduce your mental stress

skylar · Answer

I hope it works out tho!

deep_thinker · Answer

all the best 🤝

skylar · Answer

thanks

deep_thinker · Answer

ll pray for u! go ahead

Need someone to talk to!!
