In 2020, <strong>IIT Madras flipped that model<\/strong> with its online BS in Data Science &amp; Applications \u2014 no entrance exam, open to any stream, any age. It enrolled over 50,000 students in its first year alone.<\/p>\n\n<p>Five years later, three more IITs have followed: <strong>Guwahati, Patna, and Jodhpur<\/strong> all now run their own online bachelor&#8217;s programs. That&#8217;s good news for accessibility, but it also raises an obvious question \u2014 <em>agar entry itni easy hai, toh degree ki value kam toh nahi ho jaati?<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>The honest answer, as this video lays out: <strong>entry is easy, exit is not.<\/strong> Every one of these programs gates you with qualifier tests, quizzes, projects, and exams along the way \u2014 and dropout rates on all online degrees globally run 80\u201390%. The degree is real; finishing it is the hard part.<\/p>\n\n<p>One naming note before we dive in: IIT Guwahati&#8217;s program is technically a <strong>BSc (Hons)<\/strong>, while Madras, Patna, and Jodhpur run <strong>BS<\/strong> degrees.
