What Students Say

Likes

I dont know about other streams, but our teachers are amazing.
We have made fair share of contacts here.

Dislikes

Too many people. Our course has 10 people but the total population of the college is too high
Its not the college but the weather here in Chennai is really hot.

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose BS Physics, because it has research prospects. Our curriculum is designed in such a way that it encourages us to keep learning and it also provides the right motivation. Last year we had National physics conclave, here in SRM and we had professors researchers from all over India, to enlighten us on what they were pursuing

Class Size: 10Course Fees: INR 55000 per year

Internships Opportunities

We have internship opportunites in our 3rd year of college. As I am a student of 2nd year I dont know much about the internship part. But our teachers do tell us and help us finding new prospects in research and sometimes even invite us to work with them.

Fees and Financial Aid

I am a Student of SRMIST, Chennai, I am studying BS physics. We have a yearly fees of Rs 55000(excluding exam fees). The exam fees are near to 1.5K for semester exams. Lab fee is included in our yearly fees. During admission we had to pay Rs 5000 for the admission.

Campus Life

We have top class labs and faculties. State of the art classrooms. Other than the classes, We have several canteens and cafes within the campus. SRM university is like a town in itself. We also have several cultural events, tech events and a lot of other stuffs too.

Admission

My Reason was simple, BS couse. Its different than other normal BSc courses and our course work is different too. It allows us to directly pursue Phd or Pursure Phd after 1 year of MS. India had really less no of colleges which offer BS in The sciences.

Faculty

We have top class faculties. Some of them are IIT graduates or even IISc graduates. Moveover most of the teachers enjoy teaching their subjects and are really good at it. They are working on so many cool and insightful projects and they also encourage us to learn from them.

IITM BS Review: IIT Tag + Real Projects + Real Discipline

Likes

A major advantage is the flexibility. Since course registration happens term-wise, it becomes easier to adjust studies around an internship, a job, or even another degree without losing track.
The faculty and course teams are strong in their subjects. Classes feel planned and structured, and most courses move in a smooth way from basics to real use-cases.
In terms of career value, it works best for students who stay regular. The IIT Madras tag, along with projects and skills built step by step, helps in resumes, interviews, and portfolio building.

Dislikes

The workload can also become intense when many courses are picked in the same term. Assignments and deadlines stack up quickly, and poor planning can make it stressful.
Support is decent, but it can be slow at times. Some queries need repeated follow-ups because the system is process-driven and not always instantly personalised.
Campus life does not feel like a typical on-campus degree. Most interactions happen online, so building close friendships and that “college vibe” takes extra effort.

Placement Experience:

IIT Madras BS has placement support through its online placement portal and the Industry Interaction Cell (IIC), but it should not be treated as a guaranteed “campus placement for everyone.” Eligibility usually comes after reaching a certain stage (generally after at least one Diploma level), not from the Foundation stage. Recruiter participation is strong and many companies hire through the portal, but the number of offers changes each cycle and depends on role needs and student profiles. Packages often quoted include around ?25 LPA highest and ~?10 LPA average, but outcomes vary a lot by CGPA, skills, and projects. Some reports mention ~60% on-campus placements, but it’s safer to say results depend on portfolio and consistency. After the degree, the practical plan is to target data/software roles using projects + internships, while also applying off-campus; higher studies is another common route.

IIT Madras BS (Data Science): Flexible, Rigorous, and Worth It if You Stay Consistent

Likes

The biggest plus is flexibility. Term-wise course registration makes it easier to plan studies around internships, jobs, or another degree without falling behind.
Faculty and course teams know their subject well. The teaching feels organised, and the content usually follows a clear flow from basics to application.
For career growth, it can work well for consistent learners. The IIT tag, projects, and skills built over time support resumes, interviews, and portfolio building.

Dislikes

The campus life is not like a regular college. Social bonding happens mostly online, so the typical college vibe needs extra effort to build.
Workload can get heavy if too many courses are taken together. Deadlines can pile up fast, so time management becomes a real challenge.
Support systems can feel slow sometimes. Some issues take a few follow-ups because the process is structured and not always instantly personalised.

Placement Experience:

The IIT Madras BS program offers placement support through the online placement portal and the Industry Interaction Cell (IIC). Still, it’s not wise to treat it like a guaranteed “campus placement for everyone” because eligibility and company criteria matter a lot. Eligibility is usually after reaching the required level (commonly after at least one Diploma stage and meeting IIC/portal requirements), so it’s not from the early Foundation stage. Different reports mention large recruiter participation through the portal,one report mentions over 220 companies and strong overall participation, but exact offers made changes every cycle. So it’s best to write that companies visit through the IITM online placement portal and hiring depends on role requirements and student profiles. Recent reports commonly quote a highest package around ?25 LPA and an average around ?10 LPA for on-campus offers for this program. Roles typically align with software/data tracks like analyst, data engineer, ML/analytics roles, and related tech profiles, depending on skills and projects. The detailed report claims on-campus placement success around --60%, and higher when counting off-campus outcomes, but this is not an official IITM statement. So a safe review line is: placements exist and are improving, but outcomes depend heavily on CGPA, skills, and portfolio. A practical plan after completing the degree is to target data/analytics or software roles using projects + internships, and also keep an off-campus job search active alongside portal opportunities. Another common path is higher studies (MS/MTech/MBA) after building a strong base in math, programming, and projects.

Fees wavier is one of the most loving thing, after fee wavier per course charger is just 1k per course. (per course means in first year there are eight courses so each course is of 1k.)
There are a lot of offline and online fests, events and compitions that provide a lot of oppourtunity to students. Every city in india and also abroad have offline meetups there is endless possibilites for networking.

Dislikes

although I didn't disliked anything about the degree but there are few of common factors mentioned below:
for offline fest we go on campus and they charger for hostel, this is the thing that is addressable.
there are clubs and socities in the degree and they are active too but faculties do not involve too much in them but after it the clubs are doing very well.

Placement Experience:

There is seperate IITM BS Placement cell that provide internship and placment opportunities to almost every students who are eligible. Companies like wipro, amazon or many more companies visits for placements. highest package isn't disclosed of BS degree but the average package is something 10LPA. almost 70 to 80 % students are getting placed.

The iit madras bs degree stands out for its flexibility , world class faculty , and a progressive curriculum blending data science with real world applications. the pay-per-course model, robust scholarships and online format make it diverse.
What I liked is the program combines affordability with quality education, offering a unique self paced , pay-as-you-go model. The program's inclusivity, from scholarships to diverse course levels, create opportunities for learners from all backgroun

Dislikes

I think the lecutres are boring a bit and there programming dashboard don't support auto completion.
every month you have to give offline exam which is sometime feels so frequent.
I think The campus access should be increased, cause now it is only once in a year.

Placement Experience:

from 3rd year completion students become eligible for placements which is provided through college placement cell and if someone believe that off campus is going to overcome the placement offered through campus then he/she can go with that with ease. Percentage of student getting placement is extraordinary about 100 % but the students who sustained throughout the course are very limite. I have planed to join corporate after getting a degree.

BS in Electronic system from IIT Madras

Likes

Course is hybrid so you can choose other college with other cours simultaneously
You get to learn from too professors and perks of iitian
Course is so flexible that you can exit after completing 1 year or two with certificate in foundation and diploma.

Dislikes

No students life as it is a hybrid degree.
Gets little less opportunity and exposure as we attend our lectures from our home itself.
Course content gets tougher day by day . It is very difficult to handle two degree simultaneously.

Placement Experience:

BS in data science students have completed their 1st batch and got highest placement of 23 lacs and average of 8 lacs . So placement of electronic system will also revolve around this figure. After 3rd year students are eligible for placements. Most of the Bengaluru based tech company visited for this degree holders. I have a plan to go for higher studies abroad after completing this degree.

I liked the low fees and the freedom to opt any other online or offline course along with the current course

Dislikes

It would we great if they provided us with option to visit campus during festivals and exams

Placement Experience:

Placements are good, as the degree is completely online, but it is nowhere mentioned in the certificate, IIT helps one to get good package in Data Science fields, maybe the college does not provide placemnts, but students have gotten in big companies through off-campus placements
