Studied at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)

You can apply for the Bachelor's Degree Programme (BDP) at IGNOU which includes the BSc programme. One such course is LSE or Life Science. You need to select elective courses in Life Science first.

  • IGNOU has a credit-based grading system. This requires you to complete 32 credits in a single academic year. This totals 96 credits in 3 years.

  • For the first year 16 credits will be from foundation courses. Other credits will be from your elective courses.

  • For a major degree you need to have 48 credits from the subject you wish to major in.

  • In the 3rd year it’s decided whether you have a BSc (zoo) or BSc (bot). This depends on the choice of your subjects.

  • BSc in Biology also required lab courses. These constitute about 25% of your marks and attendance is compulsory.

SR
Senjuti Roy Posted On : October 25th, 2021
BBA from Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (2020)

The required prerequisite for doing a B.Stat at Asutose College is 50% in the 12th standard. Having Statistics/Mathematics in your 10+2 is mandatory.

Students who have passed the 10+2 or equivalent examination and have also passed the English test with full marks of not less than 100 are eligible to apply.

If you have a lapse of more than 3 years from the year of passing the previous qualifying examination or the cessation of a recognized regular Course of Study after passing the previous qualifying test, then you are not eligible to apply.

To determine eligibility for admission to the Honors Course, add the marks in the top four subjects. Marks obtained in mandatory Environmental Education/Studies, on the other hand, will not be factored into the final grade. You must have a minimum of 50% in aggregate and pass Mathematics.

Students from the SC/ST or OBC categories need to have a minimum of 40% in the previous qualifying examination.

Is the NMIMS Bsc Finance degree worth the money?

PN
Priyam Naskar Posted On : May 25th, 2021
B.Sc Finance at SVKM's NMIMS (2018)

One of my friends pursued his B.Sc in Finance from NMIMS. Based on his input, I might be able to help you with your question. 

  • All the demands and requirements of any corporation are assimilated into the curriculum. 
  • The syllabus includes major subjects like Business Analytics (SAS Software), Alternative Investment Markets, Operation Research, Debt Markets, Financial Reporting Standards, or even Corporate Finance. 
  • Theseare exclusive to NMIMS B.Sc. It can not be seen or found in any other syllabus within India. 
  • Mumbai being the financial capital of the country provides us with better industrial exposure. 

If you have any misconception about having fun while you are here, drop it already. As at NMIMS you probably would not have time to do so. Just so you are fit for corporate culture, they train you in such a way that you don't face any problem in the future. 

Since you have an inclination towards Finance, you would realize that everything you had endured was worth it in the end. And if the situation is the opposite, you'd be left far, far behind in the Finance race pulverizing yourself under constant pressure.

What is the integrated MSc in chemistry at IIT Kharagpur?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
studied at IIT Kgp

M.Sc Chemistry at IIT Kharagpur is a five-year integrated MSc course offered by the Department of chemistry. 

In the first year, all the courses will be the same for all the departments. Out of these courses, only one is chemistry. Other courses are from other departments like Electrical, computer science, Mechanical, Physics, etc. Here, you are given a chance to explore at least one course from most of the departments. Based on your performance in first year (i.e CGPA) you can change your department (also called Depc). But for this, you need to get a CGPA of more than the cut-off CGPA of the department to which you want to change. 

For instance suppose, Electrical Engineering department has a cut-off CGPA of 9.2 for DepC then you need to get a CGPA of more than 9.2 for DepC to Electrical. 

From the second year most of the courses will be from your department. Though, there will be a few courses from other departments as well. So, yes you will be studying mostly Chemistry from the second year onward. you can look at the complete Curricula Subjects List here

How is the integrated M.Sc in Pondicherry University?

AS
Avni Sen Posted On : September 29th, 2021
Integrated M.Sc from Pondicherry University (2021)

Some of my friends studied at Pondicherry University. According to them, they offer three Integrated M.Sc programs –

  • Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science
  • Physics, Chemistry and Applied Geology
  • History, Sociology and Political Science

You will have to choose from these three disciplines only and then choose the major subject among them. 

The advantages of the course and university are listed below.

  • You can exit the course after three years with a B.Sc degree.
  • The syllabus is light even though there are three major subjects and thus you can take up any additional courses you like.
  • The university offers freedom in terms of uniform, timetable, and everything else while many of the undergraduate colleges still have school-like rules.
  • You can study an undergraduate course from a university which is pretty rare.

Studying 5 years in an Arts stream is difficult and should be reconsidered. The best course is Physics, Chemistry, and Applied Geology. Doing M.Sc in Computer Science is also not a good idea.

Is Asutosh college good for statistics honours?

SG
Saunak Guha Posted On : October 19th, 2021
B. Sc. Economics, University of Calcutta (2019)

I have a few friends from the Statistics department. Based on the things I heard from them, I will say the department is quite great. Professors are well-qualified, strict and they never miss any scheduled class.

Attendance is taken seriously in the department. You won’t be able to slack off. You also have to study seriously for the tests. Because if you fail in sectionals, you won’t be able to sit for finals.

SG
Saunak Gupta Posted On : December 10th, 2020
B.Sc (physics honours) from University of Calcutta (2017)

If one has the option to secure admission into Calcutta University for B.Sc in Physics they should immediately apply for it. 

As compared to other universities that are based on research institutes and teaching is secondary to them, Calcutta university is different as they put emphasis on education and keep it a top priority. 

It is one of the oldest universities and has matured with time. They have the best physics teachers and labs that are available in India. The course curriculum set by the college is tough and the marking pattern set by the faculty makes it difficult to score the marks making it stringent. But this is the best thing about the University as it prepares the student for further studies and makes them well aware of the competition.

More information about the college is given below in a tabular form to make things clearer and understandable as to why choose Calcutta University for B-Sc physics.

Particulars

Calcutta University

Accredited

NAAC ‘A++’

Fees

Which branch is better, IIT Kanpur statistics and data science (B.Sc) or IIT Dhanbad CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 12th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both the courses are good. 

However, with the advancement of technologies like AI and ML, and one’s increasing dependency upon them, Data Science has become a field with immense potential. 

Data Science has a lot of future scope, and its demand will only increase with time. This field requires a good understanding of Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science (Especially Python Language). 

BSc. in Data Science is an even better option than CSE at present. Moreover, college-wise, IIT Kanpur is way ahead of IIT Dhanbad. 

Therefore I would recommend you choose BSc. Statistics and Data Science at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Dhanbad.

lives in New Delhi

For History, you have to do BA in History and not BSc in History. As for the eligibility, yes science students are eligible for BA in History. Most colleges conduct merit-based admissions so make sure your 12th score is good enough. Some colleges even conduct entrance exams to shortlist the students for which you will have to prepare beforehand. Most top colleges accept marks higher than 85%.
