Which is better for doing a distance learning for an MBA, Alliance University or IGNOU?
Alliance University does not provide Distance- learning or any course as the courses are full-time and require students’ attention. Alliance University is the best university for B-school with the best management courses in South India and the alliance's flagship program is also MBA with very good faculties and placements offers. As much as I know Distance learning will not help you, because what a student can learn and interact with within a physical classroom, that quality can’t be there in E-learning or distance learning. Alliance University offers 5 specializations in the field of MBA which are, Marketing, Finance, HRM, OM, and International Business. Every specialization has its own merits including which alliance provides field visits, company visits, interactive classroom sessions, debating, and presentation skills, alliance emphasizes all these aspects of a student for the complete growth of a student.
Now, if we will talk about IGNOU, this college offers a distance learning MBA and four post-graduate diploma courses under its school of management.
Here is the list of management courses offered by IGNOU
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
- Post-Graduate Diploma in Financial Management (PGDFM)
- Post-Graduate Diploma in Marketing Management (PGDMM)
- Post-Graduate Diploma in Operations Management (PGDOM)
- Post Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management (PGDHRM)
- Post-Graduate Diploma in Financial Markets Practice (PGDFMP)
I will suggest you go with Alliance university because the quality alliance provides with best faculties, which no college can provide, and this is the statement that the students of alliance university only say. IGNOU is no doubt a reputed and excellent college but chooses full-time learning over distance learning, as you’ll get many new experiences and learning also. All the best!
Can we get direct second year admission to BA (Bachelor of Arts) in IDOL, YCMOU or IGNOU after passing a three-year civil engineering diploma?
No, it’s not possible to take lateral admission in a BA degree after completing a Civil Engineering diploma, in IDOL, YCMOU, or IGNOU. These two degrees are fundamentally different. You can get admission to BA after completing the course. But direct entry to second year isn’t possible.
IGNOU offers direct admission to some of its degree programs. For example, if you have done your BCA from IGNOU, you can join their 2 year MCA program through lateral admission. So, IGNOU lateral entry has fixed eligibility criteria. You won’t be eligible for direct admission to second year in IGNOU MCA if you completed your BCA from any other university.
How should I prepare for B.Com A&F (IGNOU)?
First and foremost, you will be eligible to sit for the BCOM(A&F) term-end examination only if you submit assignments relevant to your course. To do so, you must first download the assignment question papers from the IGNOU portal online or visit the regional centre, where they will provide you with the question papers offline, and then write the answers for those assignments and submit them at the applicable study centre you selected during your course registration. Obtain an acknowledgement copy of the submission status and check the submission status online on a regular basis.
If you have passed your CA- CPT (foundation) and CA- IPCC (intermediate), you will be exempt from writing a few subjects.
The application process for examinations can be done online or offline. Your examination application will only be processed if your assignment submission status is updated online.
If you are applying offline, you must obtain a copy of the application printout or purchase it from the IGNOU office, complete it, and have it signed by study centre personnel before mailing it to the regional centre corresponding to your exam centre of choice, along with a DD for the desired examination fee as prescribed.
In terms of preparation, you should focus on your upcoming CA final exams first, and then immediately begin working on your BCOM exam preparation. IGNOU's study material is more than adequate, and it attempts to cover all of the volumes contained within it.
Furthermore, you can download previous years' question papers from the IGNOU portal (minimum up to three attempts suggested and maximum depending on time available) and try to answer those questions accordingly.
