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.
How hard did you find it to complete BCA from IGNOU?
My brother's friend completed his BCA from IGNOU. Recounting his experience, he told me that it was very difficult to adapt to the self-learning environment. He failed consecutively in all three semesters in the beginning. He was on the verge of giving up.
He realized that the study material provided by IGNOU is actually designed for self-study. He made notes, researched and practised a lot and he was able to complete both BCA and MCA. He said that it was self-study that helped me achieve my goal.
If you want to get good marks in IGNOU you have to focus on your self-study sessions more than anything.

Which college is better for BCA? IMS Ghaziabad or Amity Noida?
My friend was in Amity Noida and her sister was in IMS. So I think from their experiences I am eligible to answer your question and clear your doubts.
I would suggest you go for Amity only if you can afford a lot of money and your time. These are the important prerequisites for joining Amity Noida.
You have to invest your time fully as an American. The classes are held from morning 9:15 to 5:15 evening which is almost a whole day. You cannot sit for exams if you haven’t fulfilled your 75% criteria. When my friend compares this with her sister's college she found out that classes in IMS ended as early as 2 pm and you had the rest of the day to yourself which helped you work on other areas.
Apart from time, you have to spend a lot of money to study in Amity. The fees are as high as spring 90k per semester and a middle-class family is usually unable to afford such a high sum of money.
Apart from this, IMS Ghaziabad does not have a foreign language option whereas in Amity you are required to choose a foreign language and those who cannot cope with it face a setback in their results. However, this point may be a strong point for those who are interested in foreign languages and want to start a career in the same.
Overall Amity is a college where you can experience your college life to the fullest and yet face slight disadvantages.
