New Delhi, February 18, 2025: IITs offer various courses that do not require JEE or JAM scores for admission. One such program is the BSc in Data Science at IIT Madras, which allows students to earn an IIT degree without the need to qualify through the traditional JEE route. Students with Class 10-level math skills can enroll directly, but they must pass a qualifier exam after one month to continue in the program.
IIT Madras’s BSc in Data Science is the world’s first online degree program of its kind. In 2020, only 8,154 of over 30,000 initial students passed the qualifier exam and advanced in the program. The course also provides opportunities for students to exit at various stages with lower qualifications.
