The verdict
Strong fit
A niche, NBA-accredited Data Science B.Tech at an IIT with a tight 40-seat cohort, solid 2025 placements (93% placed, ₹20.8L average CTC), and a curriculum stacked with ML, Big Data, and Visualization. The trade-off is the ~₹9.16L total fee and the need for a strong JEE Advanced rank. For GenZ builders who want the IIT tag with a modern, data-first specialization, this is a strong pick.
