How much can you score in an IGNOU degree?

SM
Sharda Mishra Posted On : October 13th, 2022
MA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is not just overstated that scoring in IGNOU is difficult; it is true.

IGNOU exams are difficult to pass; they are not like private engineering college exams.

If you are strategic, you can succeed in IGNOU. If you study hard, you might not get anything.

Here is a checklist to help you prepare for your IGNOU exams:

  •  Download exam papers from the previous ten years for both summer and winter sessions.

  • If possible, download the assignments as well.

  • Now, for each block, count how many times a question from it was asked.

  • Determine which blocks are never or only once every 4-6 years.

  • There will be approximately four such blocks that will undoubtedly be questioned at all times.

  • Every two or three years, there will be 2-3 such blocks included. With the remaining blocks, these 2-3 blocks will now have optional questions. Begin by thoroughly preparing for the first four sure-shot blocks.

  • Then prepare the other 2-3; if you prepare these well, you can skip even touching the optional.

Now, here's how you should approach the exam:

In IGNOU, there is a rule that they believe they have created. The rule is that your 20-point answer should be 6-7 pages long.

How to Write a 6-7 Page Long Answer:

 Writing a 7-page long answer and attempting 5 such answers in 3 hours is extremely difficult. Neither memory nor creativity would have that much content to offer. As a result, you can draw a margin on the right side of the sheet throughout. This can be as thick as 2.5 inches. It serves two purposes: it reduces the page width and it gives the evaluator enough room to place the marks and total easily. Also, divide your responses into sections:

  • Introduction

  • Body

  • Body subheadings

  • Conclusion

Highlight important ideas to catch the evaluator's attention. Be direct, specific, and accurate.

Why is NIT Agartala so underrated?

PS
Prerona Sarkar Posted On : September 18th, 2023
B.Tech in EE from National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2018)

Upon joining NIT Agartala, I had a completely different experience from what I expected-

  • Accessibility- NIT Agartala is easily accessible. There are flights to Tripura, with discount rates too. There is also a direct train from Tripura to New Delhi. You won’t face any connectivity issues.
  • Mess food- The food is very good over there. Contrary to popular belief, you won’t face any problems regarding the food served.
  • Location- Tripura is a very peaceful state, and the campus offers a nurturing environment.
  • Surroundings- You’ll get fresh air, lots of open space, and good weather conditions at NIT Agartala.
  • Infrastructure- The college infrastructure is at par with top IITs and NITs. The hostels are filled with all facilities. Aryabhatta Hostel and Rabindranath Tagore Hostel are top-notch in terms of infrastructure.
  • Innovation Incubation Centre- ISRO built an innovation incubation centre at NIT Agartala. This has given the students an opportunity to work with the world’s leading space agency.
  • Equipment- The college has advanced equipment like EM, AFM, SEM, FESEM, XRD, Supercomputer, etc. It is difficult to access such machines, even at top institutions like BARC Mumbai and IIT Delhi.

NIT Agartala is probably underrated because people assume that its location and eating habits are very different. It is assumed that Tripura is inaccessible, and suffers communal riots. But all of these assumptions are baseless. 

NIT Agartala is a really good engineering college. It deserves much more praise and recognition. I owe all my success to this wonderful institution.

What is the value of a weekend MBA at IIM Bangalore when compared to a full time MBA?

SG
Shruti Gupta Posted On : May 18th, 2022
studied at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

The weekend MBA from IIM Bangalore can help you enhance your career. Be it weekend or fulltime doing an MBA from IIM Bangalore is a huge feat. You can benefit a lot from the brand value of the institute. 

The weekend MBA is designed for working professionals. If you can do self-learning without any supervision, this can be a good opportunity. But peer-to-peer learning is limited for this course. 

The coursework will be heavy. It will keep you busy throughout the week as well as the weekend. If you have a full-time job, you need to learn to balance things and utilize your time efficiently. You will learn through class presentations, mini-projects, quizzes, book reports, etc. You will have access to the library, and computer labs. There are no placements, but you can find jobs through networking.

Which is better IIIT Hyderabad or BITS Pilani on the basis of placement?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : June 27th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

IIIT Hyderabad strongly focuses on CS and it’s known for its excellent coding culture while BITS Pilani focuses equally on a variety of specializations. At IIIT Hyderabad students are introduced to CS subjects right from the first semester while in BITS Pilani the first semester comprises subjects from various disciplines.

As for placements here is a detailed comparison:

Particulars 

BITS Pilani Placements 

IIIT Hyderabad Placements 

Number of recruiters 

109

50+

Highest package 

INR 60.75 LPA

INR 74 LPA

Average package 

INR 30.37 LPA

INR 32 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco

Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed

IIIT Hyderabad has a smaller Campus compared to BITS PILANI and also has fewer facilities than BITS. Also, IIIT Hyderabad does not have a very happening campus life, and extracurricular activities are rarely given importance. BITS Pilani on the other hand has many cultural and sports events. 

It’s better to look beyond placements and look at the bigger picture. That being said, IIIT Hyderabad is a good choice if your passion is coding while if you want a good college life and want to develop your personality as a whole, BITS Pilani will serve you best.

AR
Aditri Roy Posted On : January 8th, 2021
Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology

German Universities are a great option for Indian students that are looking for well-designed academic courses in Engineering and Technology on a master’s level.

  • While the main exams that are required for admissions in German Universities are mandatory TOEFL scores and GRE in some institutions, there are some universities that also accept GATE scores.

  • Universities across Germany focus more on students’ academic performance as opposed to entrance test scores. Students are required to submit a subject-wise score sheet where they are then assessed based on the average credit score for each subject.

  • Additionally, GATE scores only help add to your academic transcripts and increase your credibility for admissions.

  • Students are selected based on their overall profile, including SOP, Resume, credit work, academic transcripts, work experience, entrance test scores, and more.

There are two major Universities in Germany where GATE scores are valid and can be submitted to enhance your profile.

Technical University of Munich (TUM):

  • Known to be one of the leading universities in Germany, TUM accepts GATE scores and require Indian students to additionally provide relevant IELTS or TOEFL scores along with it.

  • Students can apply for master’s programs in the faculty of Civil Engineering and Survey, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology, and Electrical Engineering with a valid GATE score.

  • Apart from having good scores in GATE and TOEFL, students are also required to have relevant scores in a BTech degree in order to be considered for admissions at TUM.

  • The application process at the institute for the September semester begins in January.

RWTH Aachen University:

  • The university offers degrees in collaboration with the Imperial School of London and offers admissions for Master’s programs based on relevant IELTS/TOEFL and GATE scores.

  • The main faculties that accept GATE scores are Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Geophysics, Computer Engineering, and Automotive Engineering.

My JEE Advanced rank is 1,048. What would be the best option for me? I am currently thinking of IIT Indore CSE

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : June 17th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

There is no fixed ‘best option’ and it ultimately depends on your inclinations and career goals. 

You can consider 2 things here

  1. If you want a happening college life and are ready to sacrifice on the branch, go for the top 3 IITs, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, or IIT Madras. 
  2. If you are certain of a career in the IT sector and also want a decent college life, go for newer IITs like IIT BHU, IIT Indore, IIT Mandi, etc.

Among the newer IITs, your first preference should be IIT BHU CSE followed by IIT Indore and other tier-2 IITs. IIT BHU has a very extensive alumni pool and is well-established in comparison to other IITs.

How is 6.8 CGPA in MNNIT Allahabad?

SA
Shibu Ahuja Posted On : October 6th, 2023
Studied at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad

MNNIT Allahabad allows students achieving more than 7 CGPA to sit for the campus placement. When it comes to getting a job or pursuing higher studies, your academic performance does play a significant role. In the world of computer science and IT, many companies set a minimum GPA requirement, often above 7 or 7.5. While you might hear rumors about some companies having lower cutoffs, remember that a higher GPA can give you an edge. Those with impressive GPAs tend to have strong coding skills and project experience too.

Take Amazon, for example. Most of the interns they hired had GPAs of 8.5 or even higher, and this pattern is similar in many top-tier companies. However, if you excel in coding or have a remarkable project to showcase, that can make a big difference. Companies value exceptional talent.

But wait, why is GPA so crucial? Well, if two candidates look equally awesome, companies often pick the one with the better GPA. It shows you can balance studies and other activities effectively. Now, if you're dreaming of higher studies like a Master's degree or doing exciting research, a good GPA is your ticket. So, while it's not the only thing that matters, your GPA is like a golden ticket that can unlock tons of opportunities in your college journey and beyond.
