IIT Madras offers an online graduate program in data science, which has no age or stream restrictions, and is appealing due to the reputation of the institute and the high demand for data science courses.

The program is divided into three levels, with varying durations, courses, and fees.

However, there are several shortcomings to the program, according to reviews and interactions with IIT Madras students, including:

  • The time factor: The program requires a long time span for completion, with the expectation of 10 hours per course per week, which may be difficult for busy professionals.
  • The experience factor: The course focuses more on theory than practical problem-solving, which may be less useful in the industry. Practical project-oriented training and experience are more valuable in the current job market.
  • The attention factor: The program offers recorded classes instead of live sessions, which may result in less individual attention and doubt clearance.

Other online training programs, such as Skillslash, upGrad, and Great Learning, offer courses that stand out in merit, providing live sessions, project experience guided by industry experts, and career advice.

The online BSc Data Science program offered by IIT Madras is costlier compared to other institutes offering the same program. Some other institutes also offer easier installment plans.

IIT Madras does not guarantee a job or placement after completion of the program.

Therefore, it is best to opt for programs that offer industry experience and save on costs, like the one offered by Skillslash, to ensure job opportunities in the future.

IIT Madras has recently launched a B.Sc degree for the students wanting to study the specifics in Data Science. The duration of the course is 3 years. It is an online course delivered through various video lectures. The fees for the online program in Data science cost about 2- lakhs. The course curriculum is quite good.

However, you should know that in Data Science you will not get a job because of your degree. You will be judged based on your knowledge and the projects that you will do. If you want to go for an MS from abroad, first check if an online course is accepted or not.

You can reach out to the pass-outs and faculty to get more details regarding the course. They can give you a better idea about the outcome of the course.
