How is the overall percentage calculated in IGNOU BSc in zoology?

SS
Sophia Singh Posted On : November 2nd, 2022
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2020)

IGNOU BSc has 2 types of subjects - Theory and Practical. It’s further divided into - Assignments and Term end theory exams.

In order to calculate total marks in a paper out of 100 - Assignment marks* 0.3 + Theory marks*0.7. The calculated sum will be your overall marks out of 100.

To know the actual marks that will be on your marks sheet follow this rule:

For theory-

  • If it is a 4 credits course divide the marks by 2.

  • If it is a six-credit course, divide it by 4/3.

  • If it is a 2 credit course divide it by 4

  • This is because 8,6,4,2 credit courses have total marks out of 100, 75, 50 & 25 respectively.

For practical-

It has two parts - Lab 1 and Lab 2

Total marks out of 100 = Lab 1 mark*0.7 + Lab 2 marks*0.3. To calculate total marks follow the same rule mentioned above. Total credits in BSc-96

Therefore total marks will be 96/8=12 hundred.=1200

Net percentage will be = Total marks out of 1200 /Twelve hundred multiplied by 100 .

Is it valuable doing MA after Bsc from IGNOU?

RM
Renuka Mahesh Posted On : November 3rd, 2022
MTM from Indira Gandhi National Open University (Graduated 2017)

No, it’s not valuable for someone to go for an MA after graduating from science. Unless you have a specific target or reason behind pursuing PG in arts it’s not recommended at all.

The course you are opting for should have a direct connection with the industry you are planning to enter. Focus on your goal and pursue the program related to that specific field.

People with no specific goals regarding the industry or profession are much more likely to come across such questions. Redefine and recognise your goals and then if it still suits you best, go for PG in arts.

Is Holkar Science College good for a B.Sc. in CS/PCM, if I couldn't secure admission in DU due to some family reasons?

DY
Disha Yadav, Posted On : November 22nd, 2021
studied at Holkar Science College, Indore (2017)

No, Holkar Science College might not be a good option for B.Sc. One of my friends studied there and according to him the college lacked many things.

There was no proper infrastructure, Buildings were neglected of proper care and maintenance. The ambience and the student crowd is not healthy. As most of them do not have any ambition or interest in learning new things. The students are also not competitive enough, which makes them less dedicated towards their studies. 

Even the faculties are careless and do not bother much if the student is learning anything or not. They often skip classes which ultimately leads to not completing the syllabus.

No cultural events or extracurricular activities take place here. It is suggested that you look for other options, compare them with it and then finalize.

Which option is better, IIT Roorkee for geological technology or IIT Kharagpur for applied geology and exploration geophysics?

AC
Anumita Chatterjee Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK)

There are many reasons why I will suggest you to go for IIT Kharagpur for applied geology and exploration geophysics. Some of these reasons include,

  • Being an older IIT, IIT KGP has a much broader alumni base than Roorkee which in turn proves to be useful for higher education. 
  • In case you lose interest in Core geology you are always open to sitting for non-core placements which are in abundance at IIT KGP because of the alumni network.
  • The curriculum at IIT KGP is way better than Roorkee in the sense that it is rigorous and much more industry relevant than Roorkee.
  • IIT KGP has good administrative support and one can get funded for conferences.
  • Being an MSc course, you can avail INSPIRE Scholarship given that you have a good GPA.

These points are more than enough of a deciding factor for you.

Among all three colleges, Khalsa College is better since it has good infrastructure and better faculties. It is also a co-ed college and the crowd at SGTB Khalsa College is much better than Daulat Ram College.

It’s always better to choose an institute near your home. You can save the time you will need to spend during travel otherwise. If distance isn’t an issue for you, you can choose Jesus and Mary College.

SV
Sarita Varshney, Posted On : November 1st, 2021
studied at NIMS University Jaipur (2018)

No, it is not a good university for B.Sc. in Psychology. For this course, you should apply to a central or state university which will be better than a private university. 

The university is very expensive, you will know this after you get admission because there are many recurring charges which are later revealed. 

Go for a government university in Jaipur or in your area where you will get proper exposure which is important for your growth and future prospects. They will also have good faculties and your education cost will be minimal.
