IIM Bangalore’s new B.Sc. (Hons.) in Data Science is a four-year full-time residential programme focusing on data science, mathematics, AI, and analytics skills, with minors in economics and business.

Based on official pattern and expectations:

• Verbal Ability was expected to be moderate.

• Logical Reasoning was expected to be moderate.

• Quantitative Ability was expected to be moderate to difficult.

(Note: final section difficulty will be updated soon after full analysis.)

Initial student feedback suggests that the overall difficulty increased mainly because of lengthy questions and a tougher QADI section.

As per student reactions, the question format, difficulty level, and section structure closely matched the official mock, helping well-prepared candidates feel more comfortable.
