Ques. How do I pass the IGNOU BCA exam?

● Top Answer By Rahul Kumar on 19 Oct 22

Ans. One of my friends was pursuing BCA from IGNOU. He shared that initially he did not take the course seriously. He believed that distance learning is extremely easy and does not require effort. But as per his experience, this course is no joke despite being distance learning. BCA is a technical or IT field. You can't just write anything and attain marks like many other subjects.  He further shared a few tips that might help you pass the IGNOU BCA exam: You will have to start working hard right from your first year. Set your goal as 80-90%. Only then will you get around 50-60%. Try to pass each and every subject in your first attempt. Don't leave any questions unanswered in your exams. Read study materials provided by IGNOU. Solve the past 5-6 years' question papers thoroughly. This will be a big help. If you follow the tips sincerely, you will get good marks in your BCA exams.Read more

Ques. How is the BCA in Bangalore University?

● Top Answer By Aditi Banerjee on 27 Feb 24

Ans. My brother is a BCA graduate from Bangalore University with four years of experience in the Software Industry. He was the gold medalist of his batch. At present, he is at the same pay and designation as his BE counterparts. However, he had to face some circumstances which proved to him the significance of one’s degree. He applied to Georgia Tech University through Udacity, for an MS. However, his application was rejected because the university requires at least 4 years in UG from its applicants. Next, he applied for a well known product based company through referral, and was not even shortlisted for the interview.  Upon enquiring, he got to know that only B.E./B.Tech graduates were being considered by the company. Between him and his colleague, the latter was preferred for an onsite opportunity because that person was a B.Tech graduate.  According to my brother, if you wish to pursue BCA, do complete your higher studies before entering into the IT industry. As far as Bangalore University is concerned, it is a good institution for anyone who is ready to put in the hard work.Read more

Ques. Which college is better for BCA? IMS Ghaziabad or Amity Noida?

● Top Answer By Nishchal Parachar on 13 Feb 23

Ans. My friend was in Amity Noida and her sister was in IMS. So I think from their experiences I am eligible to answer your question and clear your doubts. I would suggest you go for Amity only if you can afford a lot of money and your time. These are the important prerequisites for joining Amity Noida. You have to invest your time fully as an American. The classes are held from morning 9:15 to 5:15 evening which is almost a whole day. You cannot sit for exams if you haven’t fulfilled your 75% criteria. When my friend compares this with her sister's college she found out that classes in IMS ended as early as 2 pm and you had the rest of the day to yourself which helped you work on other areas. Apart from time, you have to spend a lot of money to study in Amity. The fees are as high as spring 90k per semester and a middle-class family is usually unable to afford such a high sum of money. Apart from this, IMS Ghaziabad does not have a foreign language option whereas in Amity you are required to choose a foreign language and those who cannot cope with it face a setback in their results. However, this point may be a strong point for those who are interested in foreign languages and want to start a career in the same. Overall Amity is a college where you can experience your college life to the fullest and yet face slight disadvantages.Read more
