The students are eligible for the campus placements from the 7Th semester. Companies like Biogen, Genentech, and Novo Nordisk visit. As of now the placements are good for the biotechnology department. Incase the student did not get placed in campus, there so many chances that they can search for off campus placements.

What is your review of IIT Madras data science program?
NileshBS in Data Science from IIT Madras (Graduated 2023)
The online Data Science program at IIT Madras is a great opportunity for someone who can not attend regular college because of financial constraints, illness, or other reasons. The online BS in Data Science and Application allows students to gain knowledge of this field from one of the most reputed engineering colleges in India.
The online lectures are taught by experienced faculty members from IITM. What I found most interesting was the professors' distinct approach to teaching. The students are routinely assisted by committed and supportive staff.
IIT Madras has undertaken a unique approach to imparting their expertise in the highly demanded field of Data Science.

What are your thoughts on IIT Madras offering a bachelor's degree/diploma online?
Shraya HazraB.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (2020)
It is a full-time degree or diploma and so it will have more value than online. But if we compare IIT Madras’ online degree or diploma with any other college’s then it is better.
The duration of the course is 3 years. The mode of training is online, the lectures are mostly recorded and partly live sessions.
Whether the course will be good or not that depends on what subject you are planning to pursue. If you opt for a subject related to technology, then it is not a good option. This is because technology cannot be learned through books or audiovisual. It requires you to be present in the field to gain experience and knowledge.
