I completed, 12th. I wish to pursue IIT Madras online B. S in Data Science and Programming. I don't want to join regular offline engineering. Would it be a wiser choice?

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/

Career

Sir i recieved an email from iit madras inviting me to join the BS Data Science program (online) based on my jee mains score. What are the prospects of doing this course besides btech parallely..

Ans: Hello Ishaan.
First of all congratulation to you.
You did not mention which branch you are interested in to complete your B.Tech. However, assuming that you are either taking admission to CSE or parallel computer courses in B.Tech, here is the response to your eagerness: (1) It will enhance your data skills (like Python, ML, analytics). (2) This will broaden your career options, e.g., data analyst, AI roles, etc. (3) IIT Madras has a strong reputation that will help you build your career in this field. (4) However, time management is crucial to avoid burnout. Prioritize quality over quantity. That is, even though the course is online, you will need to spend significant time learning and practicing, which may be challenging when pursuing B.Tech in offline mode simultaneously. (5) But someone said, Dar Ke Aage Jeet Hai ..... in the same vein, if you are mentally prepared to accept the challenges, then go for it! Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.

We are here on Gurgaon since 1999 But we are basically from Maharashtra and We belonged to OBC and I want my son to study btech in Maharashtra. He has given JEE and got 73 percentile. He got 80.5% in class XII and 68.4%in PCM in class XII.He has also give MHTCET and waiting for results. Kindly guide us.

Ans: Manohar Sir, Wait for MHT CET Results and Participate in Maharashtra CAP Counseling.

If your son scores well in MHT CET (preferably above 90 percentile), he will have a good chance of admission in reputed Maharashtra engineering colleges under OBC quota.

Confirm Maharashtra domicile status to avail reservation benefits.

Use JEE Main Score as Backup Option

With 73 percentile in JEE Main, he can apply to private universities and some GFTIs across India.

Some private colleges in Maharashtra accept JEE Main scores without domicile restrictions.

Consider Branch Flexibility

If CSE or IT cutoffs are very high, consider related branches like Electronics, Mechanical, or Civil which have lower cutoffs and good career prospects.

Explore Private Universities in Maharashtra

Universities like MIT Pune, Vishwakarma Institute, KJ Somaiya and others accept MHT CET and JEE Main scores and have good placements. All the best for your son's admissions & for his bright future!
