Dalhousie University

How good is the MCA course at IIT Roorkee?

RL
Rishabh Luthra Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

The MCA course has been discontinued since 2015 owing to its outdated curriculum. It does not offer an MCA program anymore. The key highlights of the program were

  • Curriculum: The coursework and the pedagogy adopted were outdated and needed a lot of improvisation to meet the industry trends.
  • Faculty: IIT Roorkee has a shortage of CS faculty in general. The course MCA, although run by the Mathematics department, was an interdisciplinary course that covered various fields. The lack of CS faculty and Math teachers teaching CS was a major drawback of the program.
  • Placements: The placement scenario was also decent but since the program is not known among many, the demand is also less. It is the duty of the Central Placement Team to inform companies about the course. Yet, many top firms like MS, Amazon, Directi, Inmobi, Symantec, and Nvidia allowed students to sit for placements.

All in all, this course is not good enough to be chosen over BTech. The only reason some joined this program was to get a taste of the rich college life and opportunities offered at IIT Roorkee. Had this course been running under the CS department with a few updates, it would not have faced such a setback.

How much value does an M.A in Economics from IGNOU add to your resume?

AS
Ayush Simple Posted On : October 20th, 2022
M.A. in Economics, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

MEC is recognised for government jobs such as the RBI and even the IES exams. It is a well-known degree. The prospects look promising.

Some of the issues are as follows:

  • There are many offset printing errors, so if you are not studying regularly and are not referring to other books, you will be confused and nowhere.

  • There are numerous topics about which counsellors are completely unaware. As a result, you may have difficulty grasping those concepts.

  • There are so many mathematical derivations that if you don't come from a mathematical background, you may struggle to understand and apply them in economic terms.

However, if you want to enrol, it is recommended that you be mentally prepared and not rely on the IGNOU Booklets. Use it to refer to topics and study them using reference books and other sources. To attend counselling sessions, you must go to the study centre. It will show you how to prepare for this course.

What are the humanities courses that one should do at IIT Delhi?

KS
Kunal Sharma Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Usually, two types of people opt for humanities courses. One prefers a laid-back schedule and easy grading while the other prefers challenging coursework and exciting lectures. My friend was kind to opt for a more lively course than spend his classes yawning away. He chose some courses like

  • Mind, Machines, and Language
  • Language and Communication
  • Creative Writing

Another extremely learned professor taught him Science, Society, and Technology. No doubt the course was very rigorous and demanding, but my friend enjoyed the course anyways. There were deep discussions, readings, and assignments which sometimes seemed too hectic, yet the entire process was intriguing and exciting at the same time.

Another course my friend opted for was Moral Literacy and Moral Choices which taught him concepts of Philosophy that none knew about. The course was very interesting. He talked about various thinkers and their philosophical teachings which transformed the students into another world.

All the humanities courses offered at IIT Delhi are intriguing and the parity of professors cannot be doubted. Go for any course that sparks a ray of interest in you!

Is doing B.Com from IGNOU a good idea?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : October 21st, 2022
MS from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It's not a bad idea if you are thoughtful enough to do this course without being admitted to a regular university. 

If you rely entirely on the staff and have blind faith that they will assist you with all of your questions, you may have difficulty sorting it all out on your own. It's a university where you have to apply and do everything on your own. This is what distinguishes and challenges IGNOU.

If you decide to apply for B.Com at IGNOU, read the prospectus carefully and keep it with you. The prospectus will provide you with all of the information you require.
