The candidates who wish to enrol through JEE-based entry will have to first fill out a form available on the official website. After that, students have to watch video content and submit weekly assignments for the first four weeks of the four foundational level courses – English I, Mathematics for Data Science I, Statistics for Data Science I and Computational Thinking. (This is identical to the “Qualifier preparation” content in the regular entry process).
After this, candidates will have to appear for the in-person quiz of four hours duration conducted at the end of four weeks of coursework covering all four courses. Register for courses at the Foundation Level based on the quiz scores.
