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.
I have lost my IGNOU student ID card. Is there a way to acquire another copy?
You should not be concerned if you misplaced your ID card. You are not even required to visit the Regional Center for this. The following are the steps you must take:
-
Install the IGNOU Student App app.
-
Log in using your enrollment number, program, and date of birth.
-
When you click on ID Card, you will see a popup that says, “Use your enrollment number as password” to open the ID Card. To download it, click OK.
-
The document will be downloaded to your phone; simply print it from a cyber cafe near your home.
-
You do not need to put a stamp or a signature on it. There is already a signature and a stamp on it. It is authentic and valid.
An IGNOU ID card is required to take TEE and practical exams. If you lose your ID card, you must follow these steps to receive a replacement.
How do students get study material from IGNOU?
After completing your registration, you must provide your email address and phone number. You will receive a confirmation email regarding your application, indicating that it has been acknowledged.
After a month or two, you will receive a text message or email with instructions on how to retrieve your study materials. It is important to remember that the Study Center and the location where you collect your study materials (Regional Center) are not the same.
You can also send an email requesting that it be sent to your address, which you will receive approximately 2 months later. However, you must visit the Regional Center at least once to obtain your enrollment card and have it stamped.
Keep in touch with the institution via email until you receive what you require. I would not recommend making phone calls because it is always busy and difficult to get through.
Why is a degree from the IGNOU discriminated?
Many people believe that MCA is too difficult and not worth the effort. You don't have to listen to someone else's hopelessness or anything negative people say if you haven't experienced it. Simply be on time and schedule everything accordingly, and everything will fall into place. You simply must be committed and serious about what you are doing.
Not only at IGNOU, but in any university, not every student is treated equally. Every student is unique, with their own study habits and learning abilities. Never give up and keep trying until you succeed. Instead of listening to rumors, do what you believe is best for you and your future.
Is there anyone working in IT after doing BCA MCA from IGNOU?
Many people work in top MNCs after completing BCA/MCA from IGNOU and are earning competitive salaries with other professionals who have completed B.Tech/MBA from traditional colleges. Getting a good job and a good package is dependent on how skilled you are and how well you can justify your competency in an interview. Even though many companies do not hire people with degrees from IGNOU or other distance-learning universities, there are many who do, based on their ability.
The conclusion is that pursuing a degree course through IGNOU should not be your first choice if you are capable of obtaining an education from a good college.
People pursue their education through IGNOU due to personal reasons that prevent them from enrolling in a top engineering college. IGNOU's mission is to make education accessible to all, and for those who, for whatever reason, are unable to travel to study, IGNOU provides quality education in their home city.
