In this year IIM Sambalpur launched their BS Program in Data Science and AI. Should I opt that cause it's Fees is around 25 Lakh and newly launched. I am probably getting NIAT Hyderabad so should I go with that only.
Ans: IIM Sambalpur’s newly launched four-year fully residential B.S. in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, aligned with NEP 2020, is offered by an Institution of National Importance, features a flexible entry–exit structure, and delivers a curriculum co-designed with industry leaders, blending mathematics, statistics, programming, AI, management and ethics through intensive lab sessions, coding bootcamps, live projects and internships; however, being the first cohort, placement track record is yet to be established and total tuition is ?25.97 Lakh. NIAT Hyderabad partners with Chaitanya (Deemed to be) University to award a UGC-recognised B.Tech in Computer Science with embedded AI/Data Science training, guided by IIT/IIIT alumni, uses an industry-reverse-engineered curriculum, provides an Industry-Ready Certificate (IRC), pan-India placement access across 3000+ hiring partners, and reports 400+ paid internships in the first semester with sustained real-world projects and mentorship teams on campus.

Recommendation: Given the premium fee and unproven placement outcomes at IIM Sambalpur versus NIAT Hyderabad’s established industry-focused pedagogy, pan-India placement network and early internship success, the recommendation is to opt for NIAT Hyderabad. If you prioritize a degree from an Institution of National Importance with a cutting-edge interdisciplinary curriculum and can accept placement uncertainty, consider IIM Sambalpur BS Data Science & AI. MY SUGGESTION: Prefer NIAT-H. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
