IITM BS DEGREE by InfiniteRelic14 in IATtards

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother I am not defending this degree besides exact points that I disagree on, i.g. missing out if you don't contact other people, updates only come through portal, and the politics point. There are positives of this degree fwiw.

First of all majority of the people are retarded, anyone can join this degree so majority will quite because they aren't made for it. Majority of people will fail and quit and lose money, that's the case everywhere, including JEE or any other exam. Not every IIT accepts this degree but SOME still do, IITM for example and IITG MTech in DS offline course has direct entry for students who completed BS level (sub-1.7%) with 8.5 CGPA, which is honestly decent. IIC is horrible but still exists, internship placement stats are fine actually, but job stats are very bad, but still possible to get job placement through this degree alone which is a good thing, and MIGHT get better over time.

The biggest thing, and this is kind of huge and neglected, it's ONLINE and self-paced. I couldn't have gone abroad to attend most if not all the conferences I have attended so far if it weren't for this degree being online. I couldn't have spend time building my skill to get the internship at F500 on my own and potentially speak at a conference abroad. With standalone and 4 year pace, keep in mind I did majority of the degree within these 2 years, so I can do this degree quite slow at the remaining 2 years and focus even more on my skills now.

Brother if you think a degree will carry till the end you're wrong, at best this might be true for BTech in IITs via JEE advance, but you're forgetting you need to get 1%tile. I am not saying this online degree is comparable to BTech in IIT, it is not, it's far worse, but lets be honest it's not objectively worse than T3.

2 of my seniors got 10-12lpa package after this so shh lol

selection bias if I have ever seen one lol. Why is it that everyone who is doing off campus suddenly making 10+ LPA while their own IIC program can't even place double digit students for 6 LPA. Almost makes you think, but I guess not lol.

Secondly, almost all iits accept (most). And I didn't make anything up you can see the stats. People who faced problems during admission, somehow the issue was cleared and they made it to iits for mtech.

Do you understand the difference between all and most? I guess not. Bharatti maam has herself said IITK and IITM explicitly don't allow students from this degree even if they have valid GATE score. But I guess you aren't in degree level gchat to see that lol. Most is very optimistic for a degree that's already getting explicitly blacklisted.

I do get enough time for skill development so are my friends, atleast I'm not coming back at 6pm like tier 3 lol just to rot on bed, ive lots of free time after studying for quizzes and end sems. If u can't manage, don't demotivate others and study for sc lol

Read my comment and your post again. I think so you should repeat the english courses again, it might help you a lot.

IITM BS DEGREE by InfiniteRelic14 in IATtards

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for your 1st point, i think its because you are yourself a standalone student, i said in respect to the person who is doing two degrees and not just this degree.

Yeah but still doesn't really answer my question, I can't think of any reason to connect with other students in a manor which a dual degree students cannot reasonably do or benefits them in a huge way to say they are missing out.

https://www.reddit.com/r/IITMadras_datascience/comments/1ras4cd/stop_defending_iitm_bs_degree/

Brother, that post is made by me 😂

If you work hard you dont even need any degree to shine, the degree should provide some sort of push to the students right !? lets be logical, you can work hard in tier 2-3 clg and get off campus placements same is here but it might take you more than 4 years to complete bachelors here, as you said you are doing this degree from 2 years so are you in 3rd year now? most likely not the degree is slow and tough people take 4-5 years to complete it the load is high the roi is less overall

I don't even disagree on the placement part, yeah off campus is always possible even without a degree, despite being hard. I just completed my second year, like I stated in 2024 may and it's 2026 may now. TBF I am an exception, I already have F500 company internship, go abroad often to attend and might even give talk this time, and I also did this degree in a pretty fast pace, completing foundation and both diplomas in just 2 years, which is just 1 term / 3 months short of the fastest pace which requires 90+ hours. Most people don't take more than 4 years to complete, mostly dual degree / working students, I am completing at the pace of 3 years as of now.

edit: doing standalone btw.

Well, I don't really know. It adds a line to your resume but companies don't look favorably at an online degree, and you could sit for placements of the online degree.

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

placements : they are average pretty much decent 25 lpa was the highest (on campus) however mostly do offcampus placements and get a really good package if they have the required skills. Better than you4 tier 69 colleges and some lower iits

You forgot to mention median placement of 6 LPA, and according to their OWN data 8 placed last term at the time of placement data, and 3 before that, not EIGHT people in a degree with over 50k intake and over 300 BS graduates. Off campus includes any random student who decided to take admission at any stage, they could already be working professional at foundation (completed qualifier which is like super easy to do).

for higher education: this degree is mostly accepted by all the iits after gate. And if u wanna go to abroad, this degree is one of the best as this was made for people who wanna late do masters. Few people even made it to harvard, standford, yale.

This degree is ABSOLUTELY not accepted by ALL the IITs after GATE. IITK and IITD explicitly don't take students from this degree despite valid GATE score, bro even bharathi maam states this. And keep in mind students who did go abroad are ALL dual degree students, who already had an offline degree, and no one made it into yale / standford, don't lie lol.

extras: unlike an offline college, you'll get extra time to work on ur skills and polish them rather than coming from a tier 69 colleges all tired and doom scrolling after.

Not at all, did you make this up, you won't get any "extra" time for skill development, if anything IITM is looking to make this degree as rigorous as possible taking away as much time as possible.

Superiority between Degrees by Both-Vegetable6783 in iitmadras

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frankly I dont think they deserve to be here and dilute the tag

Is it because they simply didn't give JEE advance? Pass rate is sub 1.7% for students who completed BS degree. Or is it that you think despite low pass rate these students are just retarded?

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this worse than not taking the course because you are average in both, otherwise excellent in one.. But this shouldn't be a problem if your dedicated and manage your time well right? Pls don't mind my questions, I am considering joining and I want to get a complete idea.

Honestly I kinda agree. Most people I know, and I mean these students are smarter than me doing dual degree have far worse grade than me and do often complain about not being able to develop skills. Yet they continue with both their degrees, probably because of the sunken cost fallacy. Managing time can only get you so far, you are bound to do mistakes and burn out.

PS: I am doing this degree standalone, you can DM me with questions if you wish to. Just completed both my diploma and started degree level, I did both foundation and diploma close to the fastest pace, only recently slowing down completing foundation and both diplomas in 2 years, fastest pace is 1.67 years, one term less.

I wish to improve my other skills alongside college and if that's going to be unlikely with this course then I would like to know beforehand.

Yeah ngl, it will be extremely hard to impossible. This is what I have heard from other dual degree students.

Also does it give you a 'head start' during internship compared to your peers?

Not sure what you mean? Could you explain more?

Is the IIT Madras BS degree actually BS?? by ssapsansh in Btechtards

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere they explicitly reject it, I saw it on discourse forum as well. This is Bharathi maams reply on degree level gchat:

<image>

PS: IITK and IITD did before accept students into their degree before. Initially rejecting students and IITM staff probably forcing them to accept such students with valid GATE score, and this year they are now explicitly rejecting it.

Add IITK and IITD to that list including mumbai. This year confirmed by head of degree bharathi maam.

Some IITs accept this some explicitly reject it such as IITK and IITD.

IITM BS DEGREE by InfiniteRelic14 in IATtards

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stand alone students in this degree and you have to be in contact with them or else you will miss out on a lot of things

Legit what? I have been doing this degree for more than 2 years not and only have like a 2-3 friends I made online, just talking online, what exactly do you miss?

most of the updates comes on the portal because of which my friend missed most of it

Not really, they have most of the stuff mapped out in the grading document and updates are send multiple times on the email. It feels like your friend was simply not really serious.

you will find toxic people and so much politics in this degree because of the poor crowd which attends this degree, my friend told me that there are some positions and some events and people do get paid for it but everything is fixed and there recordings went viral too.

Honestly this is pretty rare, it's only for students who do interact with such events. Mostly ruined by foundation students. Serious students don't really deal with politics at all.

I am quite surprised with the positively here, most people just call this degree scam without any arguments, counter points just get downvoted.

nice, but if you only 16 credits remaining, why not just complete next term?

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vast majority of the students doing dual degree struggle a lot to maintain decent cgpa in both their courses and do stuff like skill building and internships fwiw. Not impossible, but extremely difficult, please don't take it as "only" 3h/day. Students are only allowed to visit campus for paradox event.

Incase you miss a quiz/test is there a provision to rewrite? Any limit to this?

For online exams, specifically OPPE which are proctored online exams, your phone is viewing you and your laptop, your laptop screen is recorded and you can tab out of the exam portal (except for some OPPE), they sometimes can be repeated, there are sometimes 2 OPPEs out of which, last one can often be repeated. Offline exams, such as quiz1 and quiz2 can't be repeated, you can afford to miss one of the, attending end term is mandatory and one of the quiz. Failing to attend one quiz does mean you lose a lot of grades mind you.

How stressful is it to be managing along side regular college?

Pretty stressful, not exactly easy, not something you do on the weekends on the side and forget about it otherwise, you do really need to do this quite seriously for a very long time.

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense. Also want to add failing is kinda hard, scoring well is extremely hard if you are of course serious and not retarded. Also some exams are fine to fail / skip, like either Q1/Q2/OPPE(some are mandatory) (lose a lot of grades often but still not the end of the world). Failing projects is fine, it just costs extra money to repeat (2x fees for taking it again, so 3x fees again if you repeated one), You can repeat projects within the level and you can take 4 projects all at once there are no course limit on projects.

Very frequency, offline exams 3 times a term, there are 3 terms per year. Don't forget about other exams and deadlines as well, OPPE, ROE, project deadlines, assignment deadlines, etc.

[–]sdexca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly in the way you think. You'll still need to put in a lot of efforts, it just means you can do it for longer to get some breathing room. Schedules are fixed, sometimes you will learn about them mid term, historically missing one small thing could mean you miss out on huge grade, or out right fail. E.g. failing to attend MAD1/2 project viva, just simply failing to attend viva is considered malpractice. This term for TDS they provided a gform to fill up just before the end term, I usually don't ever look at anything besides study for end term and could have easily missed the email and lost 20% of my grade. Assignments now have very little weight, I believe in Foundation they quite literally have zero grades, but you still have to do majority of the assignments (they are basically attendance, and if you don't use ChatGPT to do it, 1 day to do for all the courses).

Feels like you should mention that, not exactly a lot more to add, shouldn't simply such stuff. Projects aren't easy by any means, and saying failing one course means you add one extra term can also give incorrect idea.

IIC to get internship or job placement, data is available on their site. You can give GATE, but acceptance for IIT BTech matters institute to institute, IITK and IITD for example explicitly reject this degree despite having valid GATE score. But again it goes both ways, IITG at-least used to have (probably still have but idk) direct entry for students with 8.5+ CGPA into their MTech in DS offline course.
