Is FMS better than XLRI?
I would strongly assert that FMS is way ahead of XLRI. I have mentioned a few strong points that support my opinion. Before I begin, let me enlighten you on the fact that this answer is based on thorough research and reviews of graduates of respective B Schools.

Which one is better, IGNOU or SOL?
DU SOL is more commonly known to the students and also has an easier education structure. However, IGNOU is more student-friendly. The checking of exam papers is carried out systematically and IGNOU also provides better exam results than DU SOL.
IGNOU gives internal marks to the students for assignments.
IGNOU offers various UG and PG courses. Whereas, SOL offers only a few selected courses.
My friend opted for her BA in English from SOL, DU. She left SOL DU after a year because of SOL’s poor management system. She was allotted a study center and exam center which was around 25-30 km away from her home, making things difficult and inconvenient for her. When she switched to IGNOU she realized that the staff is very helpful and solved her admission discrepancies in the most friendly manner. She had the freedom to choose her regional center and her study center, and her exam center was near her home.
These are some more advantages of studying at IGNOU-
- Admission, re-admission, exam form submission, assignments submission, and other processes can be easily done. Most of the processes can be done online.
- The course fee is nominal and the study material is excellent.
- You can easily buy guides from GPH, Neeraj, or other publication houses online in case you lose your study material.
- 30% of marks are based on the assignments while the rest is based on examination. The assignment pattern is similar to the exam pattern. As you do your assignments you are simultaneously preparing for your exams.
- Exams (TEE) are held in June and December. You can take admission according to your requirements and can give any TEE (June or December) from the second year of your course.
- You get to choose your examination center.
- Any doubts are answered by visiting the study center. Each study center has a coordinator and other staff for IGNOU students.
- Study centers are present in remote locations as well. You can easily find a study center within 15 km of your residence. Study centers can be changed as well.
- You can opt for general BA/BSc or honors in BA/BSc.
Thus, based on these advantages, you should opt for IGNOU over SOL DU for completing your degree.
