I have heard that IITM allows its students to choose 40% of their course via electives (189 credits), of which 72 credits can be earned in any department. As per JOSAA 2023, I have a possibility of getting BS in Biological Science in IITM, so with these 72 credits can I truly choose electives from any dept. with no restrictions, and also can I earn minors in any dept, I such a situation that I am able to earn minors in my preferred dept say EEE or ECE or CSE or Civil etc, then at the end of the day would the minor truly have value during placements, and if I want to pursue a mtech in a different branch say EEE or ECE would that minor be helpful in applying for foreign institutions.
