Is it tough to pass the MCA from IGNOU?
MCA IGNOU is unquestionably difficult. Especially the third semester of mathematics. It is more difficult than regular MCA and B.tech computer science programs. Many students were unable to pay the fees for their Btech after completing their 12th grade. They could have become financially better off if they had gotten a job while also studying MCA IGNOU and were able to pay the nominal fees charged by MCA IGNOU.
Some people may have missed out on engineering graduation because they did not receive proper guidance during their 12th year. When such people enter the corporate world, they have a good idea of what they want and then decide to take a course, and the bright ones take MCA IGNOU and pass it.
The conclusion is that yes, of course, MCA IGNOU is absolutely the most difficult computer science course in India. And if someone has passed it, you can be confident that she/he is very good.
Is a BA programme a good course if I do it from DU?
BA at DU can be BA (Program), BA (Hons), and in Honors, you can take the specialization course in Economics, Political Science, History, English, Hindi, Geography, and so on.
Furthermore, if you expect to get a higher percentage in BA courses, you are mistaken. Students at Delhi University typically receive very low grades. The average score is between 51 and 58%. It would not surprise me if someone became a University topper with only 58% of the marks.
So, just for the DU brand, choose the BA program and if you want to work in the civil service, you're on the right track.
How are ranks and gold medals awarded by Visvesvaraya Technological University VTU for a B.E. course What should we do to achieve them?
My friend graduated from Visvesvaraya Technological University with a gold medal. She ranked amongst the top ten students with the highest aggregate in CS.
It is calculated by the average of total marks of the last four semesters. A Gold medal becomes a dream if you fail in any of the subjects.
There are 2 types of Gold medals are of two types:
- Merit Gold medal is given to those with the highest aggregate in their major/branch.
- Endowment Gold medals are sponsored in different categories like for bright students of different categories and gender-based distribution.
Getting a gold medal is not impossible. Follow 2-3 additional books, study throughout the year and understand the core engineering and mathematical concepts. Internal assessments should be taken seriously as well. Be clear in your intentions and don't budge because there'll be distractions, but you can make your mark if you will it.

How tough is MA in economics IGNOU?
It is advised to look for a regular university for a Master in Economics, such as DSE or JNU.
If you don't have any other options, take admission here. There is nothing difficult for economics students to achieve good grades in MA Economics.
The exams are mostly graduation-based, but you must be certain that you understand everything you were taught during your graduation. You must not overlook any important terms, theories, concepts, or anything else.
If you are taking the MA economics exam for the first time at IGNOU, read everything you learned in graduation as well as the materials provided by IGNOU.
What are the best courses to take in IIM Ahmedabad?
The best course that I took during my MBA at IIM Ahmedabad, was not at my college.
It was the double degree that I pursued from ESCP Paris. There I had the pleasure of learning Marketing of Innovation under Professor Boris Durischin. The marketing concepts I learnt from him helped me land a well paying job. Sir made learning very pleasurable. He is one of the best teachers that I studied under.
The courses that I learnt at IIMA, and found useful, are-
- Trading Strategies and Managing Financial Institutions- These two courses refreshed my concepts in Finance. MFI prepared me for BFSI and mid office IB roles. These courses are scoring as well.
- Business & Intellectual Property and Legal Aspects of Business- These two courses under Prof. Anurag Agarwal, are a one time experience. Sir’s way of teaching is unmatched. He only teaches important and relevant topics. These two courses groomed me as a business professional.
These are the courses that I found useful as an MBA student at IIM Ahmedabad.
What is the worst course you've taken or have heard of at IIT Delhi?
In my opinion, the two worst courses one should refrain from ever taking in IIT Delhi are MCP 100 and MCP 101.
MCP 100: This course is Engineering Drawing and is one of the most irrelevant courses offered at IIT Delhi. It is taught by prof Sujeet Kumar Sinha who has no teaching skills and is always in a rush to complete the course. The entire syllabus is completed in just 2 months leaving no space to comprehend what was taught.
MCP 101: This course comprises concepts such as casting and welding which are not expected to be studied by an IITian at least.
Both the courses are a complete waste of time and don’t do justice to the institute's reputation.
Which is the best course to study in USA?
USA being one of the best countries to study abroad offers top-notch education across a plethora of disciplines. STEM courses in USA are usually the most preferred programs in USA for international students: Some of the most popular courses in USA are:
What does it feel like to fail in a course at IIT Kanpur?
I know a friend who failed a first-semester course at IIT Kanpur. Although it was a minor subject, the entire process was very tiresome.
He had failed a wonderful Morning Exercise (PE101) course. This course is a very futile course wherein twice a week you are supposed to go for sports for an hour in the evening. The ones who are good at sports are selected for the institute sports team, while the rest are sent to NCC.
The worst part about this course is that although it carries no credits, you fail the course if you have less than 75% attendance. Many top rankers had to stay after graduation to complete the course.
My friends had taken leave to represent India at IOI 2007. She failed to maintain the attendance criteria and eventually failed in the course. It discouraged her a lot and she was worried about losing her KVPY scholarship.
She decided to resolve this issue and approached the dean of student affairs (DOSA), who was also the official instructor for this course. Prof. Prawal Sinha assured her that he will be resolving the issue for her. The procedure was indeed troublesome and she had to run from office to office for months. She even wrote to the directors and key meeting DOSA.
Finally, her efforts were fruitful and she managed to change her grades. She was relieved but the entire process tired her out.
