Laurels Centre for Global Education is now the official examination centre in Bahrain for the BS programme in Data Science of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras. India's Ambassador to Bahrain, Piyush Srivastava, opened the centre at an online event attended by about 1,500 people.
Students join directly and, after a month of study in mathematics, English, statistics and computational thinking, sit a qualifying exam that needs 50% to pass. The programme awards a foundation certificate after the first year, a diploma after the second, a BSc after the third and a BS degree after the fourth, with live and recorded online classes.
Anyone who studied mathematics and English up to Class X can apply, and IIT Madras offers placement support in the final year.
