hi,

see bsc course on data science is the newly program launched by iit madras., students who have dropped from their graduation or currently pursuing any bachelor course are eligible to apply. however it would be an distance learning program,

The program is split into three levels that have to be completed strictly in sequence:

1: Foundational Level (8 courses)

2: Diploma Level (6 Programming courses + 6 Data Science courses)

3: Degree Level (11 courses)

however as per the official brochure there is no mention of compulsory placement. also there is no mention of projects, course is divided in several parts and you have to qualify the exam to get the certificates of each step. this course is best for those who are working professional or in any other course pursuing want to join for learning and further careers growth.
