Yes, an online degree from IIT Madras is absolutely valid and will be treated as an official degree from IITM. The degree is also in accordance with UGC guidelines. Hence it will be treated like any other regular graduate degree.

IIT Madras offers an online degree in the following areas:

• BS in Data Science and Application
• BS in Electronic Systems
• Diploma in Programming/Data Science

I recently completed my Graduation from IIT BHU. Securing a rank of 4000 in JEE Advanced is a commendable achievement, and it opens up several opportunities for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology. However, whether you can get admission into a specific IIT with this rank depends on various factors including:

• Some branches are more competitive than others, so the cutoff ranks may vary accordingly.
• Each IIT has a different number of seats available for each branch, and the cutoff ranks can fluctuate based on this.
• Reservation quotas may affect the cutoff ranks for different categories (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, etc.).
• The difficulty level of the exam can influence the cutoff ranks.

Here are the cutoff trends for B.Tech Admissions at various IITs (for CSE and Civil Engineering branches, Open Category seats)-

IIT Madras offers a PhD program under various categories and among them comes the HTRA & NHTRA scheme. The HTRA stands for Half-Time Research Assistantship whereas the NHTRA does not support any assistantship to the PhD/ MS aspirants. Through the HTRA scheme, candidates can avail monthly stipend during the course period. Under this scheme, the research scholars will have to a Teaching Assistantship for 8 hours per week. However, the candidates who do not meet the HTRA eligibility criteria will be treated under the project NHTRA category. The details related to the HTRA and NHTRA at IIT Madras are explained below:

HTRA- The research scholars with institute fellowship or any other national fellowship will be considered admitted under the HTRA category. Also, candidates must have valid GATE or NET scores to be eligible for the HTRA scheme offered at IIT Madras. Also, students who get more than 8.0 CGPA in M.Sc. in Science Departments of IIT Madras can get the sanction of HTRA subjected to the clearance of MHRD. Candidates with an MBA degree must have either a UGC/CSIR NET JRF or Lecturership or a GATE score for admission to the IIT Madras MS/ PhD Management with HTRA. 

NHTRA- Candidates can also be considered for admission to the IIT Madras PhD/ MS program without assistantship (NHTRA) under the full-time regular category. The eligibility criteria are the same as the HTRA candidates. However, such candidates will have to enclose a letter stating that they may be allowed admission without assistantship under the NHTRA category. Candidates willing to take admission under the NHTRA scheme for PhD/ MS in Management Studies must have 5 or 3 years of managerial experience in the place of national-level tests like JMET/CAT/XAT/MAT/ATMA/GATE/ UGC or CSIR NET JRF. 

BS in Data Science at IIT Madras is a 4-year and students having this degree can apply for the GATE exam. According to the new eligibility criteria as mentioned in the GATE 2024 brochure, candidates who are studying the final year or have completed any UG program in any discipline namely Engineering, Commerce, Arts, Agriculture or Science can appear for the GATE 2024. Hence, the answer is yes that candidates can be eligible for the GATE after completing a BS in Data Science from IIT Madras. To be eligible for the GATE 2024, one needs to have a degree approved by AICTE, UGC. The eligible candidates will have to register for the GATE through its official website by filling out the application form and uploading the required documents.
