For those who have the foundations to enter the Diploma programme directly and those who wish to do just the Diploma and exit with it and do not aspire for the BSc Degree as a goal, this is a pathway. It is primarily aimed at working professionals or learners who already possess the fundamentals taught in Year 1 of this programme to enter the Diploma level directly.
Entry - Into Diploma level (Sem 3 courses)
Exit - One or both Diplomas from IIT Madras (These candidates cannot proceed to the
Degree level)
Eligibility to Apply
Students
who have completed 2 years in any UG degree programme are permitted to apply to
the diploma level through direct entry. Their second-year mark sheet or higher must be
submitted as proof to qualify under this category.
Assessment to do a self-check on whether the
learner is ready for direct entry:
A test will be configured which can be taken by learners who wish to enter into the Diploma
programme through the direct mode of entry. The test is to assess if a learner possesses the
fundamentals required to enter the Diploma level directly or if the Foundation level courses are
necessary.
