How is the English MA course in IGNOU University?

PA
Padmini Alina Posted On : October 20th, 2022
Masters in English in English (language), Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is extremely convenient to pursue an M.A. in English through IGNOU. The only problem is that the course materials are delivered very late. However, you are not required to rely on or wait for the materials. Because the materials remain the same year after year, they can be obtained from anyone who has already completed the course or from used bookstores. To be honest, the material isn't much help. In fact, guidebooks are more beneficial because they also provide you with the previous year's question papers, which are extremely helpful in understanding the exam question pattern, and once understood, you are guaranteed to score above 55% on your first attempt.

You have five years to complete your course, which consists of eight credits, four in the first year and four in the second. It is mandatory to submit the assignment for the paper you wish to sit for during the exams, which are held twice a year. It is entirely up to you whether to take all exams at once or spread them out over all ten semesters. In short, if you are determined, you can complete your master's degree in two years by taking two papers each semester. Contact classes are scheduled; if possible, attend them as they will get you started on your preparation and keep you motivated. 

Doing some research for your assignment and attempting to keep your answer original rather than copying from the guide will increase your chances of getting good grades on the assignments. If you fail a paper in the semester exam, you have the option of retaking it in subsequent semesters until you achieve a passing mark.

So, get the reference books, analyze the question pattern, turn in your assignment, and begin studying for the exam.

ISB Hyderabad's 1 year MBA program or Top 25 US B schools 2 year MBA program? Which is worth in the long run in terms of opportunities and pay package?

SG
Srinivas Gunda Posted On : January 30th, 2023
Audit Senior at BDO USA, LLP (2019–present)

You cannot logically compare US B Schools with ISB Hyderabad considering the difference in the quality of peer ground and overall education.

To give a better understanding, compare the ROI of both the B Schools. ISB Hyderabad MBA fees are around 24-28 Lakhs per year and considering the placement scenario, you cannot get a package of more than 15-18 Lakhs. On the other hand, the average fee of a US B School is around 120-200k Dollars and the salary one can expect from a B School is 120k. The ROI in the latter case is much better.

However, these ROI calculations have overlooked one part. As an International student, you'll need a job with a firm that sponsors h1b visas. This reduces 70% of coveted jobs. Now the hunt for a suitable job is tougher and you have to also hope that you win the h1b lottery. If you are unable to do so you might end up in India with a heavy loan of 80-90k Lakhs with an average salary of 15-20 LPA.

So we can say that US B Schools are always the better option than ISB Hyderabad but the risks involved are tenfold.

Is there any quota for Delhi students in DU?

PS
Poonam Sharma Posted On : May 2nd, 2026

yes, there is a Delhi quota at DU but it works differently from what most people expect:

for UG admission via CUET: DU colleges don't have a formal state-based quota like NITs do. admission to all central universities is through CUET scores on All India merit. a student from Kerala can compete equally with a Delhi student for a DU seat.

however, there IS a functional advantage for Delhi students:

  • DU has specific wards of employees quota (for children of DU/Delhi Govt employees)
  • Kashmiri Migrants and certain minority/SC/ST quotas with Delhi domicile requirements
  • some affiliated Delhi colleges have special category seats for Delhi residents in specific courses

ECA (Extra Curricular Activity) and Sports quotas are also available — these are open to all but trials happen in Delhi, making it easier for local students practically.

the real Delhi advantage is in NRI quota and management quota at some colleges where Delhi residents may get preference.

bottom line: DU undergraduate admission via CUET has no official Delhi state quota for general merit seats. it's All India merit. the quotas that exist are institutional (employees, minority, sports/ECA) not purely geography-based. check the specific DU admission brochure each year for the exact seat matrix.

Which is better for ug university college of medical sciences (ucms) or vmmc?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 25th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

As a student of UCMS, I will try to enlighten you about my college.

  • Location- It is true that UCMS is located in the periphery of Delhi, and its surrounding is not as developed as that of VMMC. Regardless, the location of UCMS offers most of the facilities required for a good college life. You can access Cinepolis, PVR and Big Cinemas from here, reach CP in 20-30 minutes by metro/private vehicle, and catch a metro from Jhilmil metro station to explore Delhi/NCR. 
  • Campus- UCMS has a beautiful campus, the best among Delhi medical colleges. It has a huge central field where you can play cricket, basketball, football, etc. Boys get single seater hostel rooms from the first year itself. The campus has two 24*7 canteens, a book shop from where you can access all your medical books, an ATM, and a post office.The hospital has undergone renovation, and looks new and well managed.
  • Academics- UCMS offers excellent academics. The faculty is skilled and teaches with sincerity. The Histology Lab in the Anatomy department is really good. 
  • Extracurriculars- UCMS has a sports society, a western dance team, a theme choreography team, a dramatics team, a musical society, a literary society and a medical education unit. You can join any of these.

According to me, both UCMS and VMMS are good medical colleges. You can choose the latter if location is a concern to you, otherwise, UCMS is a good choice too.

Which is the best college for BMS in Mumbai among HR colleges- NM College, Mithibai College, HR College, or Jai Hind College?

SJ
Subham Joshi Posted On : January 19th, 2021
Studied at H.R. College of Commerce and Economics

There are a lot of factors which should be kept in mind while opting for either of the colleges. Some of such factors are mentioned below. 

Attendance- 

  • For attendance, HR is way more lenient than NM College. If you have a valid reason for low attendance such as preparation of CR, then you might be exempted. 
  • However, this doesn't work in NM college, they are extremely strict about their attendance.

Distance- If you are a resident of Mumbai then you should consider the distance of the college from your home. It is an important factor to consider, and saves a lot of time and money.

Focus area- 

  • If your goal is holistic development i.e. curriculum studies plus co-curricular activities, then NM college is the preferred choice. 
  • HR is close to NM in this race. But NM provides a wider exposure owing to its central location of the college, surrounded by various other universities.

Let’s take a look at the advantages of all the above-mentioned colleges in a tabular form below.

Parameters

NM College

HR College

Jai Hind College

Mithibai College

Placement rate (2020)

100%

70%-80%

65%

50%

Average salary package (2020)

17.58 LPA

2 LPA

>2.5 LPA and <5 LPA

4 LPA – 5 LPA

Community- Often this factor is excluded while selecting a college, but this factor is as important as any of the above-mentioned factors. Although, if you have good people skills, you don’t need to consider it. But if you need a community then, in NM you will be surrounded by Gurjatis and in HR by Sindhis.

Infrastructure- 

  • NM College is up-to-date with its infrastructure regardless of the fact that it is one of the oldest and well-known colleges in Mumbai. 
  • HR College is outdated, not maintained, in terms of infrastructure.

Cost- If you are not a resident of Mumbai, South Mumbai is expensive in comparison to West Mumbai. 

Thus, keeping the above analysis in mind, NM College is the best out of the four colleges.
