NONE OF THE ASSIGNMENT DEADLINES WILL BE CHANGED THIS TIME FROM THE SCHEDULE GIVEN ABOVE. THE DATES HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY ADJUSTED FOR ACCOMMODATING THE QUIZZES AND OPPES.

Week 7 - eligibility for final exams for most courses depends on the average assignment scores of best 5 out of the first 7 weeks. The dates are highlighted in green here. Week 10 - GAA score for final grade will be taken and calculated for applicable courses

MAJOR CHANGE THIS TIME:

Weightage for GAA in Foundation Level courses is being made 0. Questions for a total of 10 marks in the 2 quizzes and End term exam will come from the assignments. Weightage for GAA in Diploma Level courses will be 5 marks. Questions for a total of 5 marks in the 2 quizzes and End term exam will come from the assignments. Weightage for GAA in Degree Level courses remains unchanged. CHECK EVERY COURSE GRADING PATTERN TO SEE ACTUAL WEIGHTAGES.

Bonus Marks

Bonus Marks are for encouraging and incentivising the students to participate more in the activities of the course. These marks will be added ONLY for the students who pass the course and will only impact the course grade, and not the pass criteria. Criteria for bonus marks: Marks will be applicable based on availability of mock activities in the course. It can vary from course to course and can range from 0-2.

If the average of the marks obtained in all the mock tests conducted before Quiz 1 & Quiz 2 >= 40/100, students will get 2 marks. The mock tests have to be done within the time specified.
The course team may set up additional activities in the course which will be eligible for upto 3 bonus marks. If no additional activities are set up, this bonus won't be applicable.

Participation in the discourse forum: Badges

We will be looking at active engagement with Discourse in a term and provide badges for participation. Badges will be given based on the number of hours a student spends on Discourse. A student is expected to spend a minimum of 1 hour per week per course in Discourse reading posts. Student will get the following badges:

Read time of upto 4 hours per course in a term: Badge 1
Read time of upto 8 hours per course in a term: Badge 2
Read time of upto 12 hours per course or more: Badge 3 (Applicable only after you get the BS student roll number)

Information about course grades:

S,A,B,C,D,E - Pass grade; U/WA/WQ - Fail grade ; I - Incomplete

In I grade - there are 3 types:

a. If you are absent for ET alone but all other assessment components are completed (quizzes, OPPEs, project, weekly assignments) - grade will be pushed as I. Options: You can register to take up the ET exam alone in the subsequent term. OPPE and quizzes will not be scheduled for you. All other marks for Final course score will be taken from the previous run. The fee will be charged only for the end term exam. OR You can choose to repeat the entire course paying the full course fees. b. If you have failed in the OPPE but wrote the ET exam and crossed the cutoff for T as given in the course grading policy, grade = I_OP. You can register to do the OPPE alone whereby if the course has one OPPE, that will be scheduled. If the course has 2 OPPEs, both will be scheduled for you. You can attempt the OPPE alone. All other mark components of Final course score will be taken

Suggested pathway to register and study

Diploma level courses:

Most aggressive pathway - completing in 4 terms - ONLY IF YOU ARE DOING THIS AS FULL TIME AND NOTHING ELSE AND CAN SPEND 70 HRs PER WEEK MINIMUM
Comfortable pathway - 6 terms - 2 years : Suggested for students and working professionals doing this along with another degree or their job (40hrs/week)
Those from non technical backgrounds, new to programming or have busy schedules, recommended to take 6 or 7 terms for the 2 diplomas.
Same sequence of courses are suggested if you are taking only the Diploma in programming or Diploma in DS separately too.

Maximum number of terms to complete both Diplomas: 12

Even with a relaxed pathway, you should complete in a maximum of 7 or 8 terms.

The new rules for those entering Diploma Level from May 2024 onwards:

Complete minimum of 3 courses and 1 project in every 3 terms, which means the
- The slowest you can go is 3 courses and 1 project in 3 terms (1 year), 6 courses and 2 projects in 6 terms (2 years), 9 courses and 3 projects in 9 terms (3 years) and 12 courses and 4 projects in 12 terms (4 years).
At the end of 3 terms, if you do not complete 3 courses and 1 project you will be given warning.
At the end of 6/9/12 terms if you do not complete 6/9/12 courses and 2/3/4 projects, you will be removed from the program.

If you wish to do the Diploma in programming and Diploma in data science one after the other and not mix up the courses, here are the suggested pathways.

SoP for the SCT Exam is as follows: Click Here for OPPE SCT SoP Document

There is only one OPPE conducted for the course. But there are 2 chances to attempt it.

Students have to mandatorily attend the OPPE on the first date. If you fail in this, you get a chance to reappear the next weekend. So you get 2 chances to attempt the exam.
If you are absent on the first date, you do not get the reattempt chance.
If the first date is inconvenient due to a clash with some other engagement, then you can apply for a postponement to the second date providing sufficient proof. If this is accepted, your exam will be moved to the second date but if you fail in this or are absent, you will not get another chance to reattempt. You will have to do it in the subsequent term.

The calculation of Final course Score is proposed as follows: GAA2= Average score of week 2 and 3 SQL based assignments GAA3= Average score of week 7 programming assignment Qz1 = score in Quiz I (0, if not attempted) Qz2 = score in Quiz II (0, if not attempted) OPPE - Score in online remote proctored programming exam F = score in final exam

who will be entering Degree level in the Sep 2026 term. Without completing the 12 courses and 4 projects, you cannot start degree level courses from Sep 2026 onwards. For entering the Degree level in Sep 2026, you have to complete ALL projects and vivas by Aug 2026.

BDM project final submission has to be done and approved by June/July/Aug 2026 so that viva can be over in June/July/Aug 2026. Project grade for all the courses will be pushed on/before Sep 15th.

Students are requested to complete the projects at least two terms before their diploma completion term i.e DO NOT REGISTER OR HAVE PROJECTS ALONE LEFT IN YOUR LAST TERM OF DIPLOMA.

Very important:

Viva policy for MLP, DL&GEN AI, Viva Policy for Appdev

Students who completed App dev1, App dev2, MLP and BDM in Sep 2021/Jan 2022 terms:

If you complete the 6 courses and 2 projects of any of the two Diplomas, you will get the Diploma certificates. But your credits will not be 27 for this Diploma but 23 or 25 depending on how many of these courses were completed in these 2 terms. The projects done as part of the courses of Sep 2021/Jan 2022 will not get the 2 credits. So there is no issue with the Diploma level.

When you come to the BSc level, 114 credits are required to obtain the BSc certificate. Hence this deficit of 2/4/6/8 credits will have to be made up by taking more elective courses offered by the IITM BS program.

Degree Level courses

Level of the course:

The first digit of the 4 digits given in the course code represents the level of the course. Eg: CT is CS1001 is a 1 level course. Deep Learning CS3004 is a 3 level course. Industry 4.0 MS4001 is a 4 level course.

BSc level:

It is now mandatory that students have to complete both the core pairs and SPG in the BSc level. Credits = 20 All remaining 8 credits can be earned from IITM BS courses or NPTEL (maximum upto 4 credits from Table 2) or if there is an option to credit campus courses (IITM or other institutes), that too can be done.

BS level:

It is implemented wef Sep 2023 for the batch that enters the degree level in Sep 2023.

2 courses in the level 4 or higher should be mandatorily completed in each of the BP and BD categories. Please refer course category in table1

Out of the remaining 12 credits, it is MANDATORY to earn 4 credits in the HS/MG category. HS/MG can come from inhouse electives or from NPTEL-Table 3.

Remaining credits are from any of the other in-house/campus electives or Apprenticeship electives.

Apprenticeship:

Apprenticeship is completely optional. Students can also complete the BS level by just doing only course work.

We are also collaborating with the Microsoft and AWS certification program team to offer their courses for our students at discounted rates. Would be good to complete some cloud certifications from this too when completely is considered plagiarism. There are no credits for this.

It is important you learn more on programming and data science outside of what the curriculum offers and strengthen your resume.

Academic policies

In each programming assignment, be it any course or any OPPE, taking help from LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini) partially or completely is considered plagiarism.
Unless explicitly permitted, do not use LLMs. Using LLMs is considered a violation of honour code.
Students can discuss and learn from each other but the assignments are expected to be done individually based on their understanding.
Please do not share your assignments with others before the deadlines. If similarities are found between submissions, all will be penalised irrespective of who did it first and who shared it with whom.
