What are some experiences people have had with the IGNOU exams? Are they difficult and what level of preparation is needed or can one be a bit easygoing?
The truth about IGNOU is that it does not care about you, and its success rate is much lower than that of other universities. IGNOU will be much more difficult than any other university; even your regular course may be much easier than what you will experience at IGNOU. It's not so much the degree that you'll get from IGNOU as it is the experience of how harsh and demanding life will be, how things will go wrong and you'll have to make them right. The terms provided by IGNOU may appear simple, but soon everything will begin to unfold; there will be success and setbacks. You will have to rework things over and over again, or you will fail. Exams are easy but they become tougher as you progress. You might get (low) grades as you've never gotten before, just because IGNOU is a miser in terms of giving marks.
Even though IGNOU exams are not difficult, here are some factors that contribute to their difficulty: The study material is never delivered on time; if it is, you will not receive your entire syllabus for the current semester; frequently, the study material arrives in the following semester. The exam schedule is appalling. There will be times when you have two exams on the same day, times when you have exams on consecutive days, and times when you only have one exam at the end of the month. Exam papers are not difficult (if you know the subject), but the point is that there is no specific standard that IGNOU has set for its marking scheme. As a result, even if you have answered questions correctly and to the best of your ability, you may still lose.
If I don't pass all the papers in my IGNOU exam in 1st year, can I still go to the second year? How do I clear the papers which I didn't pass?
If you are studying at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and you failed to pass all the papers in your first year, don't worry, you can still progress to the second year of your course. Here's what you need to know:
- You can register for the second year of your course even if you have back papers from your first year. IGNOU allows you to register for the next academic year as long as you have cleared the minimum number of credits required to advance to the next year.
- You can also attempt to complete your first year while simultaneously studying in the second year. For example, if your second-year Term End Examination (TEE) is scheduled for the December cycle, you can attempt your first-year back papers in the June cycle or vice versa.
- If you have already submitted assignments for the back papers in your first year, you do not need to resubmit them. However, you will need to ensure that you meet the assignment submission requirements for the second year.
- It's important to note that you will need to complete all your back papers within the stipulated time period subject to the course. IGNOU has a maximum time limit within which you need to complete your course requirements. You should refer to the university guidelines or contact the academic counselor for more information.

I have not yet received my IGNOU study material. What do I do?
Students should avoid completely relying on IGNOU study materials. They must prepare with the understanding that regardless of whether they obtain or do not obtain those recommended books and notes, their preparation must be fully operational and effective.
Apart from downloading the materials and studying them online, you should purchase the IGNOU Help Book for particular subjects of GULLY BABA PUBLICATION.
How do I get good marks in IGNOU assignment?
Download previous 3-5 years' question papers from the IGNOU website, depending on your time constraints. Look for answers to these questions in the IGNOU material. It is pointless to recommend guides because the majority of their answers do not adhere to the topic or syllabus.
Make a list of the most important points. Remember to take notes on the keywords. Highlighting these keywords while writing the exam will give the examiner the impression that you have a good understanding of the question.
Depending on the question, try to include some diagrams or maps. It will undoubtedly give you an advantage. Because you have not read the entire material, you may find it difficult to understand at times. In that case, Google the keywords or the context to get a good idea of what the problem is.
Prepare each previous question paper in this manner and revise it at least twice. Examine your assignment question as well.

Is it tough to pass the MCA from IGNOU?
MCA IGNOU is unquestionably difficult. Especially the third semester of mathematics. It is more difficult than regular MCA and B.tech computer science programs. Many students were unable to pay the fees for their Btech after completing their 12th grade. They could have become financially better off if they had gotten a job while also studying MCA IGNOU and were able to pay the nominal fees charged by MCA IGNOU.
Some people may have missed out on engineering graduation because they did not receive proper guidance during their 12th year. When such people enter the corporate world, they have a good idea of what they want and then decide to take a course, and the bright ones take MCA IGNOU and pass it.
The conclusion is that yes, of course, MCA IGNOU is absolutely the most difficult computer science course in India. And if someone has passed it, you can be confident that she/he is very good.
How tough is it to score 70 in the IGNOU BA?
You must conduct conceptual research. You must write answers that are free of grammatical errors. If you look through previous year question papers, you will notice that IGNOU asks less traditional questions. IGNOU asks questions based on your concept, such as "what do you think," "what is your opinion," and so on. Everything is contained in the study materials. You simply must take both the assignment and the TEE seriously.
Start preparing for each TEE one month in advance, and dedicate that one month solely to your BA degree. It is advised to watch videos and read articles from GOOGLE. Concentrate on conceptual research. It will be beneficial to achieve more than 65% overall. It would not be difficult to obtain a 70% in IGNOU. Just consistency is required.

Does everyone pass easily at DU?
Passing at DU is contingent on the following factors:
1. Determining your course of action. It is not as simple for honors courses such as B. Com (Hons.), Economics (Hons.), and so on.
2. The student's mental capacity.
3. The student's academic focus and comprehension of subjects chosen by the student.
It would not be incorrect to say that passing the graduation level exams at Delhi University is relatively easy, but passing the postgraduate level exams is not as simple as passing the lower level exams. Yes, if you study diligently for a month before the exams, you will easily pass.
