How is MDU Rohtak for BCA?

HS
Himanshi Sharma Posted On : November 3rd, 2021
studied B.Tech from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak (2019)

The way BCA students are taught at MDU Rohtak is quite boring. The faculty know how coding should be written, rather than how coding works; if they knew, they would have gone to work for a multinational corporation and not for a job at this institution.

If you truly want to learn coding, apps, websites, or any other area of computer applications, all you need is a computer or laptop and the willingness to learn online and practice. Use your time to learn about various domains like content writing, website construction, SEO, PPC, AdWords, blogging, and a variety of other skills.

While others may think that you are bad at theoretical subjects and attend dull lectures just for the sake of completion, you can have 2-3 blogs, one website, and start writing articles for a variety of websites and businesses.

Finally, you would get a degree from any university; it doesn't matter as much as the abilities and skills that you acquire.

Should I join Presidency College Bangalore for a BCA?

AS
Arun Sen Posted On : January 11th, 2022
studied Bachelor of Computer Applications Degrees at Kristu Jayanti College Autonomous, Bangalore (2011)

According to the reviews online, Presidency College, Bangalore for BCA is good, much like any other institute. They provide proper education, guidance and practical training to the students.

Bangalore is an industrial hub, so you can expect going to industrial visits, attending seminars, participating in technical activities, etc. these will flourish your knowledge about the overall course.

Placements are good. Even if you do not get an on-campus placement opportunity, in Bangalore there are lots of companies which conduct pool and off-campus placements. You could try them out, and also might secure an offer.

The academics are updated to current industry trends, and will take your proper and undivided effort to learn about it. The faculty members are well experienced but they will only do their basic part, rest of the learning will depend on you.

Therefore, if you prefer self study, this is the right place for you. You can work hard and work for what you deserve.

Can I study distance education BCA with Madurai Kamaraj university Is it a reputed institute Or another fake one like Maithili or magadh university?

RG
Ritika Ghose Posted On : October 6th, 2021
Studied at Madurai Kamaraj University

Pursuing a degree through distance education can take a toll on your career. It offers limited exposure to the students with a lack of interaction with the teachers or any extracurricular activities. It is better to opt for a regular course.

If you cannot afford time for a regular college due to some compulsions, remote learning from IGNOU is the best choice rather than a distance course from MKU.

Overall, a regular from Madurai Kamaraj University is fine, but a distance course from MKU is not recommended.

Which college is better for BCA? IMS Ghaziabad or Amity Noida?

NP
Nishchal Parachar Posted On : February 13th, 2023
Studied at Sarvodaya Vidyalaya

My friend was in Amity Noida and her sister was in IMS. So I think from their experiences I am eligible to answer your question and clear your doubts.

I would suggest you go for Amity only if you can afford a lot of money and your time. These are the important prerequisites for joining Amity Noida.

You have to invest your time fully as an American. The classes are held from morning 9:15 to 5:15 evening which is almost a whole day. You cannot sit for exams if you haven’t fulfilled your 75% criteria. When my friend compares this with her sister's college she found out that classes in IMS ended as early as 2 pm and you had the rest of the day to yourself which helped you work on other areas.

Apart from time, you have to spend a lot of money to study in Amity. The fees are as high as spring 90k per semester and a middle-class family is usually unable to afford such a high sum of money.

Apart from this, IMS Ghaziabad does not have a foreign language option whereas in Amity you are required to choose a foreign language and those who cannot cope with it face a setback in their results. However, this point may be a strong point for those who are interested in foreign languages and want to start a career in the same.

Overall Amity is a college where you can experience your college life to the fullest and yet face slight disadvantages.

How is your review of Big Data Analytics from IIM Lucknow?

RT
Rajat Tokas Posted On : January 16th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow

It is true that IIM Lucknow, like many other premier business schools in India, does not have a specific focus on Big Data Analytics. However, it is important to note that this does not necessarily mean that there is no association between IIM Lucknow and Big Data Analytics.

While it is true that IIMs primarily focuses on providing students with a strong foundation in managerial skills, the reality is that the business world is constantly evolving, and new technologies and trends are emerging all the time. Big Data Analytics is one such trend that has gained significant prominence in recent years, and it is a skill that is becoming increasingly important for managers to possess.

It is also worth noting that while IIMs may not have specific courses or programs dedicated to Big Data Analytics, they do offer IT specialization options. These programs may not specifically cover big data, but they do provide students with a solid foundation in IT and technology, which can be beneficial when it comes to understanding and working with big data.

Furthermore, it is not entirely accurate to say that any business school will teach you that having a solid understanding of Excel is all you need. While Excel is an important tool for data analysis and management, it is not the only tool or skill required for working with big data. In fact, big data analytics typically involves working with large sets of data that are too complex to be handled by Excel and requires specialized software and tools such as Hadoop, Spark, and Python.

In conclusion, while IIM Lucknow and other IIMs may not have a specific focus on big data analytics, this does not mean that they do not provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to work with it. The management skills taught in these institutes along with IT and technology specialization options can be a good foundation to understand and work with it. Additionally, it is a rapidly evolving field and it's important for students to keep updating their skills and knowledge.
