I got admission (PGDM) opportunities from IIM Rohtak and IIM Udaipur! Should one go or sit for CAT again this year? Any suggestions?
Sitting for CAT again is honestly not a very easy decision. So I will suggest you go for IIM Rohtak itself. This decision will be beneficial under the following circumstances
- If your past academic performance is not really good. This is because the older IIMs lay emphasis on past academics too much which in reality cannot be changed. So why risk a year when the chances are nearly zero?
- If you already have 2 or more years of experience, it’s better you don’t forgo the opportunity.
- If you are interested in domains like Finance or Marketing, it’s better to join now. This is because working too much in the IT field limits your chances of getting into Finance and Marketing.
So based on these points you can come up with a decision that’s best for you. Just remember that despite being new, IIM Rohtak belongs to the IIM family which in itself is a brand.
What are the career prospects after doing M.Com from IGNOU? Will I be eligible for lecturership after it?
After earning your Mcom from Ignou, you can pursue a career as a lecturer. However, you must also pass the NET exam to be eligible for a lectureship.
Whether you get your M.com from a distance learning institute like IGNOU or a traditional college makes no difference. You are still eligible to take NET. State-level exams are an alternative to the NET. Every state has its own set of exams. Passing a state exam qualifies you for lectureships only in that state. To be eligible to become a lecturer anywhere in the country, you must give the NET. Most people would instead pass state-level exams and work as a lecturer in their state. They apply for NET after gaining experience in their field.
How tough is the M.Com exam conducted by IGNOU?
MCom from IGNOU is very easy as it can be accomplished with minimum efforts. The exams include the entire course either in short notes, long answers, differences, etc. However, the assignments are not that easy. They require a thorough understanding of each topic, and a lot of written work. All in all the level of difficulty of exams is average but the quality of education is not hampered by this.
M.Com from IGNOU is not very difficult and can be actually passed with minimal effort. If you go through the previous year's paper, you will find that the exams are fairly lengthy. Almost the entire course is included in the exams either in the form of short notes, long answers or differences. So you will have to learn a lot. But the level of difficulty is not that high. However, the assignments are not that easy. They require a thorough understanding of each topic and a lot of written work.
The salient feature of IGNOU is to specifically cater to the needs of people who cannot pursue full-time education. Considering this the exams are not very challenging that will become a burden for part-timers.

The following information will clear all your doubts regarding IGNOU being AICTE approved:

IGNOU is not only a central university but also a nodal body to regulate distance education in India.
-
IGNOU can commence any course, even technical courses without or with approval of AICTE since it has the right to do so as per its constitution.

IGNOU has its own SOET (school of engineering and technology) duly approved by HRD and UGC. Their degrees and diplomas are equivalent to any other technical system in India.
