Hello dear candidate,
IIT Madras is one of the finest and premier colleges in India. An IIT tag is itself enough to change the life of an individual. However, the skills and the learning ability plays a major role when it comes to trying skills in the real world.
See, A BSC in diploma and Data science course is good but you need to understand about the future with a chance of jobs. As after passing from the institute all you will need is a job. IIT Madras does not promise to provide job opportunities and placements. The degree just adds a tag of an IITIAN to the resume.
It is worth it if you do not want to do jobs further but not completely. There are no placements and job opportunities. So, it depends upon you whether go into the course or not.
Think about all the circumstances and then make a wise decision.
I hope this answer helps you.
