What is the difference between a regular IGNOU course and a distance IGNOU course?
One of my friends had a very bad experience in IGNOU. She applied for CCP which has 6 months of certification but the university allowed 2 years to complete it.
She wanted to complete the course within 6 months so she appeared on all the exams on time. She had to follow up with her professors for project work daily. After she did submit her project, they lost it. After 5-6 months the Delhi branch called to inform her that her project was not good enough. Apart from this episode, she shared more drawbacks she faced:
-
Out of 8-10 classes only 3 were conducted.
-
They took 6-7 months to inform her that the project wasn’t good.
-
She did not receive any books and had to get them personally by visiting the centre 4-5 times
-
They increased the fees suddenly in the second year
She scored 1st division in CCP but did not get the certificate for the same. So it’s not recommended for you to do PGDCA from IGNOU.

Can I do MBBS and BA from IGNOU at the same time ?
Yes, UGC has given its approval regarding pursuing two courses at the same time, only provided that one cannot pursue both these courses in regular mode. This basically means that for both courses to be considered valid,, one course has to be in regular mode and the other course must be in distance mode from Open University.
UGC rules are applicable in the case of IGNOU also. Earlier before UGC made such changes, IGNOU did not allow two regular courses simultaneously through the same University. But in accordance with recent regulations, you can do two regular as well as two distance courses at the same time.

How good is PGPBM course (provided by IIM Trichy) at Chennai Center?
The worth of a certain program depends on what you want to achieve after completing it. In case you want to just ameliorate your knowledge and skills, this course is indeed the finest option. But if you are pursuing it to receive a high-paying package, then your approach is wrong. Yes, it will open doors for better job prospects but you cannot directly grab a high-paying job right off the bat.
Some major highlights of this course are as follows
- The faculty is highly knowledgeable and usually comprises doctorates from top B Schools within India and even globally.
- The course is rigorous as each subject is taught for 25 hours and requires preparation for 20-25 hours.
- The pedagogy is premium and involves a blend of case studies, theories encompassing fundamental frameworks, and the latest trends.
- A regular evaluation ensures complete involvement of the individual
- You will get the chance to study with a mixed crowd comprising marketing professionals, chartered accountants, plant heads, and entrepreneurs.
- The crowd diversity in turn enables top-notch peer learning and exposure through experience sharing.
- Once you complete this program, you will excel in your current job or the interview for your next job.
- Since the program is approved by banks, you can easily get 100% educational loans.
- In accordance with the latest IIM Law, you will be granted an MBA Degree and not just a PGDBM Certificate.
Before I end my answer I will ask you to keep 2 points in mind. Firstly, this program is extremely demanding and you should not take it just as a side hustle. It needs complete involvement and determination on your part.
Secondly, no placement opportunities are offered upon completion of this program so you shouldn’t rely on the placement committee.

How much is a part-time M.Tech in Anna University worth?
Honestly speaking, a part-time M.Tech course is not of much worth. A course like M.Tech requires a practical approach. This won't be much possible at Anna University. So all you will be left behind is a title attached to your name. This course is also a waste of time and money as the fees of this course are quite high.
This course won't yield you any valuable results unless you are extremely passionate and a self-learner.
