Do marks really increase in the IGNOU revaluation?
If you are confident that you have written well and deserve more than the marks you have received, then go ahead and request revaluation.
Even if you're not sure, take the plunge. It will not cause you any harm. The best of the two marks, that is, before and after the revaluation, will be considered, so there is no need to worry. You simply need to believe in yourself and go for it if you believe that the grades you received are inadequate and should be increased.
Which is better between MBA from IGNOU or Symbiosis distance?
IGNOU is better for an MBA compared to Symbiosis distance. The course work is challenging. It’s not easy to clear papers unless you go through the study materials thoroughly. The curriculum is a bit old but it’s effective.
If you are hard-working and have relevant work experience, you can get recruitment opportunities after doing your MBA. IGNOU MBA is even valid for PhD/Govt. jobs too.
What is the credit system of IGNOU? How do I select a subject?
If you apply for a BSc (Maths), for example, it means you want to study math.
-
You must choose two elective subjects from the four available ( Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Life Science).
-
To major in math, you must complete at least 40 credits in math.
-
If you want to major in math, you must take MTE 1, 2, and 4-9. These subjects will earn you 28 points. MTE 10 to 14 can be used to obtain the remaining 12 credits (for a minimum of 40 credits) to 20 credits (for a maximum of 48 credits in a subject).
-
The three-year course requires 96 credits, with 32 credits required each year.
-
Your foundation courses will total 16 credits in your first year. And you'll need 32 credits in a year. To meet that requirement, you can take MTE 1,2,4,5,6, or you can drop one paper and replace it with a second elective subject of your choice.
-
You have 8 credits for foundation courses in the second year. The remaining 32 credits must be satisfied by Math papers and the second elective.
Electives and application-oriented courses are available in the third year (AOC). AOC requires 16 or 8 credits in this case. This is because elective courses can take either 56 or 64 credits over the course of the semester. As previously stated, if you aim for a minimum of 40 credits, you only need 56 credits from electives and can have 16 credits from AOC. Alternatively, a maximum of 48 elective credits will leave you with 8 credits for AOC.
There are some subjects that must be taken together, such as MTE 4 and MTE 5. Subjects from the first year can be taken in the second or third year, but not in the first year. There are courses that have prerequisites and corequisites. Please make sure you take those so that you can study easily.
Applying online eliminates the possibility of accidentally taking the same subject twice. You also don't have to be concerned about credit fulfillment or subjects that must be taken concurrently.
In IGNOU what if I fail to re register before the last day of registration?
Re-register before the registration deadline. If you are unable to do so, you will be unable to participate in the next semester for which you have registered. It will also give you a 6-month delay and allow you to register only on your next attempt, which is not a good idea. So be mindful of your re-registration and exam forms.
However, if you fail to re-register, don't be too concerned. Simply try to cover all previous exams and back from the previous semester and prepare for it. Learn some useful skills related to your course as well. Don't squander these six or twelve months; instead, get to work.
Which publications reference books are best for the IGNOU BA programme, GPH Straight Forward or Neeraj?
It is strongly advised that you only purchase Neeraj Publication books and not the GPH. If you want to pass the exam, GPH is sufficient. However, if you want to learn something and get good grades, you should definitely buy Neeraj Publication books. Neeraj Publication books are a mix of direct questions answered and concepts covered briefly. This is a better introduction to the subject than the GPH.
Neither Neeraj publication books nor GPH can replace the IGNOU study material. Studying these IGNOU books will not only increase your knowledge but will also boost your confidence. You need to determine your reason for studying first and then study the book accordingly.
How do I pass the IGNOU BCA exam?
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.
