What is the minimum pass marks in IGNOU for a BCom at A F?
The passing marks in IGNOU for any subject are as follows:
-
Theory - 35 out of 100; 18 out of 50
-
Assignments - more than 50% ( 50 out of 100)
If you get 35 marks in theory out of 100, this means you have passed in that particular subject and don't have to appear for exams again.
But if you score below 50 in assignments, then you have failed and will have to resubmit your assignments.
Is there a semester system in IGNOU for BA courses?
No, there is no semester system in IGNOU for BA courses. In IGNOU students are enrolled in two cycles (January and June). The submission of assignments and TEE (Term End Examination) is scheduled once a year.
Although assignments can be submitted only once a year, there is a high chance that if you fail to appear in May or December TEE, you can appear for that particular subject on another cycle.
For example, you enrolled in this course in 2021. If you wish to appear for June 2022 TEE, you are required to submit the assignments by March 30 2022. If you fail to appear or pass the TEE, you can appear for the same exam in December 2022.

The first and foremost thing is that you should be thorough with all your concepts and have decent academics. The selection process into XLRI does not focus much on the profile but your score should be decent.

Group Discussion:
Be a part of group discussion in a positive way. Do not boast your knowledge and try to give chances to others as well. Only put forward the points required. This is the phase where panelists check your ability to react and discuss with others on some topic.
Interview:
After group discussion, you have an interview round where the group of panelists checks your general knowledge. You should be well versed with the three main questions, firstly your strengths and weaknesses, then next why you consider XLRI to be the best among other colleges, and the last why you want to pursue the particular course. During your interview never beat around the bush, if you do not know something, say so. This will create a better impact on the interviewers.
How hard is the IGNOU MA in psychology?
The level of difficulty of a program depends on your passion mostly. If you are passionate about learning then an MA in psychology from IGNOU is not that difficult. You can even work while pursuing a Masters.
Firstly attend all classes and complete all practicals. You will be guided by facilitators throughout. This will help you at the time of examinations. Also, the study material provided by IGNOU is very easy so I don’t think overall it will be a difficult ride.
How do I write answers in RGPV to get marks?
My neighbour is a lecturer. She told me some important points to keep in mind for any subject semester.
-
Look for the questions that you are best versed in and attempt those first. Go in descending order i.e., from best to worst. This will help maintain the quality of your answers.
-
Writing in points will give you bonus marks. Black pens are not allowed so don’t use them. Highlight the parts of the answer you wish to be seen by the examiner first.
-
Draw neat labelled diagrams of appropriate size. Note that the size of the diagram has nothing to do with your marks.
-
Another way to improve the quality of your answers is to use the required technical words.
-
Neat handwriting will definitely get you some brownie points. There should be proper spacing between two words.
The trick that will surely get you a few more marks is to highlight important parts while you are writing the answers. You may use the same pen or even pencil. In case you don’t know the answer to a question, focus on the keywords in the question and write your answer based on them itself.
Which exam is tougher to crack: CLAT or AILET?
AILET is a tougher exam compared to CLAT. AILET is held by the National Law University of Delhi while the CLAT exam is for admission in NLUs, IP University, and many more.
Reasons:
- The number of applicants for the AILET exam is more than for CLAT. Thus, the difficulty level and the competition increases.
- Number of seats: 80 seats are offered in the AILET exam while in CLAT, there are around 2538 seats in which 724 seats are available in CLAT PG. The seats are divided according to the reservation policy of the NLUs.There is only one participating institute under AILET, that is, the National Law University, Delhi.
AILET is a cut-throat examination and chances to get a seat in NLU Delhi is minimal. Around 17000 candidates apply for the exam for only 80 seats thus, the difficulty level gets higher every year.
In CLAT, almost 18 students compete for a seat whereas, in AILET, there are around 203 students competing for a seat in NLU, Delhi. Although the same students who apply for AILET also apply for CLAT, the competition to get admission in NLU Delhi is tough, since it is one of the top 5 National Law Universities in India.

How is the checking of answer sheets in IGNOU? Is it too hard?
The marking method of IGNOU is a serious one. You cannot just simply write anything and assume they don’t check the papers properly. The invigilators check the papers thoroughly and you cannot mislead them.
You will score good marks only if your answers are good. They should be directly linked to the question. If the examiner finds unrelated answers, this may backfire on you. So it’s easy for those who write exact answers and difficult for those who just write anything to get marks.
