The Indian Institute Of Techonology IIT MADRAS will be offering two diploma programmes in programming and data science. The courses would be delivered through a comprehensive learning delivery model that competes with a classroom learning experience. The courses include lecture videos, lecture-based activity questions, practice assignments, graded assignments, and mini-projects that reinforce problem-solving skills.
There will be live sessions with course instructors where questions from the learners are answered for every subject. The evaluation would be done through in-person quizzes and end-term examinations, ensuring that this programme meets with the same academic rigour as an on-campus programme.
The applications are open for the diploma entry qualifier exam. The last date to apply is November 15, 2021. Those interested can apply through diploma.iitm.ac.in.
The diploma entry qualifier exam is scheduled for December 12, 2021. Those who clear this exam will be eligible to join the diploma programme.
