Which publications reference books are best for the IGNOU BA programme, GPH Straight Forward or Neeraj?
It is strongly advised that you only purchase Neeraj Publication books and not the GPH. If you want to pass the exam, GPH is sufficient. However, if you want to learn something and get good grades, you should definitely buy Neeraj Publication books. Neeraj Publication books are a mix of direct questions answered and concepts covered briefly. This is a better introduction to the subject than the GPH.
Neither Neeraj publication books nor GPH can replace the IGNOU study material. Studying these IGNOU books will not only increase your knowledge but will also boost your confidence. You need to determine your reason for studying first and then study the book accordingly.
Is IGNOU good for BA courses?
IGNOU BA course is a good option for distance learning education. You will have many elective options. The study materials are enough for self-study, you won’t need to buy additional books. The admission and examination procedure can be done online. The examinations and publication of results are on time.
If you are looking for flexibility and ease, IGNOU BA is a good option.
Which would be better: a PGD course at the IIM Ahmedabad or a master's in management at London Business School?
One of my friends was in a similar situation a few years back. After taking to the faculties of LBS, he decided to join the IIM Ahmedabad PGD course. Here are the reasons why.
- Masters in Management is a new course and doesn’t have much industry recognition. So, there aren’t many placement opportunities.
- Be it academics or placements, MiM students stay in the shadow of MBA students. It is not a good option if you have an ambitious career plan.
- MiM at LBS costs a lot and there aren’t many scholarship options available. Many MiM students choose to do an MBA later, which just doubles the cost.
- US has a vis permit issue for the non-Europeans, which makes it difficult to secure a job after graduation. Many students come back to India after completing their degrees.
When it comes to management education, IIM A is the best there is. Even a diploma for IIM A will have more value in India compared to a MiM from LBS.
How do placements in IISC Bangalore compare to the IITs for PG courses? What are other differences?
I am an M.Tech, therefore, I will talk about this course.
Placements are the main reason why students with a good rank end up choosing IIT B over IISc Bangalore for their M.Tech.
The reason why you would go for your Master's is because you want to work in the technical field. Those who complete an M.Tech are technically very efficient. Working in a non-technical field after your M.Tech is not a good choice. You could have done the same after your Bachelor's. An M.Tech degree in this scenario becomes useless.
IIT Bombay has a good placement record for M.Tech students. However, most job profiles are non-technical. If you wish to go for a non-technical job after your M.Tech, go for IIT B or the other IITs.
IISc Bangalore will groom you in such a way that you will become passionate about your field of study. Many IISc Bangalore students reject non-technical job offers. Most M.Tech students at IISc Bangalore try to get a research assistantship at foreign universities to groom themselves for a research career.
These jobs are provided with the help of your faculty advisor. Therefore, IISc Bangalore does not mention them in its profile.
Overall, after your M.Tech or any PG program, if getting a job with a good package is your topmost priority, go for IITs. IISc Bangalore is a better choice for future researchers.
Is there anyone working in IT after doing BCA MCA from IGNOU?
Many people work in top MNCs after completing BCA/MCA from IGNOU and are earning competitive salaries with other professionals who have completed B.Tech/MBA from traditional colleges. Getting a good job and a good package is dependent on how skilled you are and how well you can justify your competency in an interview. Even though many companies do not hire people with degrees from IGNOU or other distance-learning universities, there are many who do, based on their ability.
The conclusion is that pursuing a degree course through IGNOU should not be your first choice if you are capable of obtaining an education from a good college.
People pursue their education through IGNOU due to personal reasons that prevent them from enrolling in a top engineering college. IGNOU's mission is to make education accessible to all, and for those who, for whatever reason, are unable to travel to study, IGNOU provides quality education in their home city.
Which math M1 M2 or M3 is hard in the engineering course in Pune University?
Ony of my sisters is a part of Pune University and as per what she mentions, it is best that you practice the fundamental mathematical problems. Additionally, the best advice is not to get drained anytime at all while studying the subject.
Now, when shifting focus to your question,
- M1 incorporates basic algebra and is deemed pretty simpler than usual.
- On the other hand, M2 might still be difficult, yet it can however be aced if you practice the basics of integration and derivation.
- In the case of M3, the course entirely depends upon the fundamentals you have earlier prepared for M2.
- After a brief elaboration, it is best that you rather choose preparing for M2, because it can contribute to making the subject quite easier.
The study standpoint is curated as per the syllabus, and is best if you follow the pattern in accordance with it.
How good is machine learning course of IISC Bangalore (video lectures which are on nptel)?
I lack knowledge of this particular course. But on nptel itself, there is a course called ‘Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks’ by Prof. P. S. Sastry. It is one of the best courses by an IISc Bangalore faculty.
In this course, sir gives unbelievable insights for complicated equations. His students at IISc refer to him as ‘GOD’ for a reason. This course is more mathematically rigorous than the Machine Learning course by Andrew NG on coursera. But the latter is probably better from a practical implementation point of view.
You can check these two courses as well, and then decide which of the three courses is best suited for your learning.
What are the best courses to take in IIM Calcutta?
My brother is in IIM Calcutta and over the period of 2 years he has studied many valuable courses. But 3 of them top the list of his favorites.
-
Statistics for Management: Taught by Prof. Rahul Mukerjee, this course is a mandatory Term-I course. More than the subject itself it’s the professor that makes it an amazing experience. He is the recipient of many national awards and has taught all over the world at reputed universities like Harvard.
-
Options, Futures and Derivatives: IIM Calcutta is without a doubt the finance campus of India. The finance faculty is the best you can get and this course does justice to finance completely. It’s quite a tough subject based on derivatives and technical finance. But for a true finance lover, it’s the best. It is taught by Prof. Binay Bhushan Chakrabarti (BBC) who was the Gold Medalist of the Batch of 1980 from IIM Calcutta.
-
Management of Self: Another eye-catching course at IIM Calcutta is Management of Self taught by Prof. Leena Chatterjee. She is a motherly figure in college. This is the only course here that teaches you about nothing but your own self. It’s a sort of personality grooming course that requires you to take a few personality tests and write an autobiography. This course helps you get more familiar with yourself and overcome internal struggles. It’s a Term-V elective course.
Although all courses offered at IIM Calcutta have their own benefits, these 3 are among the best maybe because of the respective professors.
