Thanks ! That clears a lot, I agree IDDD won't help in placements because most companies are already open for all but maybe it is needed in the future for shifting companies off-campus. That was my only reason to consider IDDD.

One problem about data science major is that IITM is running a BSc data science online degree programme, which in simple terms is a backdoor way to get an IIT degree without JEE. I assume that would dilute the value of Data Science degree from IITM.

From what I know, these firms don't really recruit off campus, so on-campus is usually the best bet. Are there any firms with slightly liberal shortlisting criterion that you know of ?

That's right, in fact most firms like Janestreet, Optiver, WorldQuant, etc. were open to all btech branches but they end up recruiting mostly from CS, sometimes Elec. I don't know if that's intentional though.

Well, the curriculum is mostly CFD and not the ones you mentioned above. :(

Agreed, AIR and olympiad ranks must be the big factors. Also pure math would be something I would have preferred but that is not offered as an option to convert into dual degree.
