Is it valuable doing MA after Bsc from IGNOU?
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?
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.

How is the integrated M.Sc in Pondicherry University?
Some of my friends studied at Pondicherry University. According to them, they offer three Integrated M.Sc programs –
- Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science
- Physics, Chemistry and Applied Geology
- History, Sociology and Political Science
You will have to choose from these three disciplines only and then choose the major subject among them.
The advantages of the course and university are listed below.
- You can exit the course after three years with a B.Sc degree.
- The syllabus is light even though there are three major subjects and thus you can take up any additional courses you like.
- The university offers freedom in terms of uniform, timetable, and everything else while many of the undergraduate colleges still have school-like rules.
- You can study an undergraduate course from a university which is pretty rare.
Studying 5 years in an Arts stream is difficult and should be reconsidered. The best course is Physics, Chemistry, and Applied Geology. Doing M.Sc in Computer Science is also not a good idea.

Can one get into Ravenshaw University for a B.Sc. with 80%?
Yes, you can get admission to Ravenshaw University. But this may vary depending on the Honours subject you are willing to choose.
For some subjects, you can land up in the second cutoff list whereas for others you can get called indirectly for the admissions. Choose your honors subject wisely while filling up the form.
80% and above is sufficient enough to get a seat in dept.s with higher intake capacities.
If you are from the general category, there is a good chance of getting a B.Sc. with a PCM major. If you belong to the reserved category, it should hardly be any problem.
