BTech Student: Should I Pursue IIT Madras' BS Data Sc for Career Boost?

Ans: There are multiple advantages of joining an offline education program.
1. You get plugged to a community that also has the same goals as you do
2. You foster relationships that will stay with you for life and also help you succeed in the longer run
3. Accessibility to teachers is not limited to a pre decided slot, and they are easily reachable on the campus
These and more reasons have also motivated us to create our 4 year residential Bachelors program. You can explore more at https://www.scaler.com/school-of-technology/

Ans: Depends upon the Student, how he / she manages the time for both, how far self-motivated & dedicated.

Some students have completed both.

Ans: Hello
Your daughter is in 1st year and pursuing CSE + DS which is a promising branch in engineering from a future point of view.
Going for a BS course in Data Science is a welcome move. Here is the pointwise reply to your queries.
(1) IIT Madras is a brand name. The future score for opting for BS (DS) will boost your daughter's career. This course will give a long mileage in terms of career and job placement point of view.
(2) As your daughter is in 1st year, It would be difficult to handle both courses at a time. It is not advisable to join BS in distance learning mode just in 1st year. Let your daughter settle down at least in 1st year, then you can think about joining BS from 2nd year.
(3) Basically, it would be preferable if a candidate opts for M.Tech.and then simultaneously joins BS.
(4) A lot of time and dedication is required. Many students are not able to handle this peer pressure. Please discuss this issue with your daughter, know her timetable, and know the available leisure time. If all parameters work perfectly, then decide to go for distance learning BS else, drop the idea at least for 2 years.
