If I choose 4 year BS in Biological Sciences, am I eligible to do IDDD or take minor courses in another department, say Computer Science ?

We checked, and the answer is yes.
But, you will have to meet the other criteria:
- CGPA\>8
- Some IDDDs may have pre-requisite courses, and that might make things hard. (for e.g., we have heard that Robotics IDDD is not possible)

(1) If I want to do IDDD in robotics from Biological sciences, Can I take the prerequisite courses which are required for robotics??
(2) After biological science am I eligible for IDDD in Data science/CS/or other related fields.

> IDDD, or the Inter Disciplinary Dual Degree program is yet another evidence of how flexible the curriculum of IITM is. It was instituted in 2018 to keep up with the growing technological and industry demands. With the IDDD, students can master the newest areas and trends in tech by getting a combined Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. A CGPA of 8.0 is the strict cut-off to apply for the program. However, the cut-off for each stream varies based on the demand and number of seats offered. Here is …
Refer to the above link for more details. You can take up IDDD in robotics too if you can convince the instructor. A few students have done it in the past.
Yes you can do a minor in any department given that you have done 36 credits (~4 courses) from a particular set of courses.
