IIT Gandhinagar to host virtual open house for Data Science e-Masters degree

The Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (IIT GN) will host a virtual open house for its new Data Science e-Masters curriculum. Admissions are now available for the first class of this programme, which will begin in May 2024.

Students have until April 5 to submit an online application form via the IIT Gandhinagar postgraduate admission site — admissions.iitgn.ac.in/pgadmission/login.

Even though the course will be taught online, the class size has been limited to 40 to guarantee that the staff can devote enough time to each and every student, according to the institute. To offer students the necessary industry-relevant experiences, the programme requires a two-week residency once a year. During these residencies, students will participate in intensive workshops and seminars, immersing themselves in an active learning environment.

Additionally, IIT Gandhinagar's Career Development Services (CDS) office will facilitate employment in a variety of businesses. Students will benefit from CDS tools that are specifically designed to help them explore and strategise their career possibilities. Furthermore, CDS will ensure that candidates have equal access to job chances as those offered by the standard IITGN MTech programme.

Those interested in learning more about this programme can join the virtual open house on March 17 (11 a.m.) via the following link: iitgn-ac-in.zoom.us/j/ 

Meanwhile, the institute also recently concluded the application process to register for the undergraduate summer research internship. The period of internship is of eight weeks, during the summer break of IIT Gandhinagar, between May 5 and July 15.
