CHENNAI: The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) on Monday called for applications for its online data science program.

The classes for the new batch would begin in September 2021.

"The program provides a unique opportunity to study at IIT-Madras without having to go through joint entrance examination (JEE). Students can pursue the diploma in programming and data science along with their on-campus courses," the release said. The last date to apply for the course is August 30, it said.
