Choosing between the IIT Madras BS degree and a regular engineering college is a personal decision. Here are the questions worth asking, and where to check the answers.
Short answer: choose IITM BS if you want a self-paced online degree from IIT Madras in Data Science or Electronic Systems. Choose a regular college if you need a fixed classroom routine or a branch IITM BS does not offer. Check fees and rules on each official site.
IITM BS is online and self-paced within each term, with structured levels. A regular college gives daily classes and a fixed timetable. Which one you keep up with matters more than which one sounds better.
IITM BS offers Data Science and Applications, Electronic Systems, Management and Data Science, and Aeronautics and Space Technology. A regular engineering college offers its own branches. Compare the subjects, not the names.
Ask for the real numbers and rules from each institution.
Write down what you want in three years: a job, a startup, higher studies. Then ask each programme how it helps with that, and talk to students who are already there.
It depends on your goal and how you learn. IITM BS is online and self-paced with a degree from IIT Madras; a regular college is classroom-based. Compare subjects, costs and how each helps with your goal.
