I'm a PCB student without maths. am i eligible for M.tech in IITs through GATE if i do online BS Data Science course from IIT-Madras?

Ans: Great question.
No, currently you are not eligible for M.Tech in IITs through GATE if you have only the BS in Data Science from IIT Madras and do not have Mathematics in 10+2 or a BSc/BTech degree with core Mathematics and relevant engineering subjects.
