The passing marks in IGNOU for any subject are as follows:
Theory - 35 out of 100; 18 out of 50
Assignments - more than 50% ( 50 out of 100)
If you get 35 marks in theory out of 100, this means you have passed in that particular subject and don't have to appear for exams again.
But if you score below 50 in assignments, then you have failed and will have to resubmit your assignments.

I have a few friends from Lucknow University and according to them, for the entrance examination, it focuses more on the syllabus of your 11th and 12th commerce subjects mainly. There will be a total of 75 questions based on these subjects.
The topics covered in the examination are as follows.
Further, Current Affairs is not a particular subject but is all about what is happening all around you. It is just a basic knowledge of what is happening in the world around us and this constitutes about 25 questions of the test.
You can acquire books and study materials online for the LU entrance examination.
It all depends on what you want to do. Here are a few things to think about:
Flexibility -You have a lot of time at DU. You can study Actuarial Science, CFA, CFP, Data Analyst, CIMA, ACCA, CS, CWA, and many other things. As a result, more career opportunities are available at DU. Christ is very strict about attendance, and you don't have time, so you must concentrate solely on the course.
Fees - College fees are approximately Rs 12000 per year, as opposed to Rs 1,000,000 in Christ.
Exposure - There are numerous societies at DU that can provide excellent exposure. Society is better in Christ, but imagine 4000 students competing for that opportunity. Furthermore, DU departmental and college fest are better experiences for students than Christ because students manage everything from arranging funds to organizing every event without much help from authorities. Furthermore, you can compete in competitions organized by various DU colleges ranging from debate, music, and dance to mock stock, treasure hunt, and beg, borrow, and steal. However, because you are required to give regular presentations in class and because of the diversity of students, Christ aids in the development of an average person's personality.
Placement- At 95%, you can get DCAC or Shaheed Bhagat College, which do not have a placement boost of more than 20-30%. However, in Christ, you will receive more than 70% placement ( depends upon course though ). The average salary given is not significantly different. (Approximately 3 to 4). However, some companies that offer better packages do come in Christ ( i.e above 5 lac ) Some sales and marketing firms unrelated to your course may be present in DU.
Curriculum - The curriculum at DU is outdated and lacks a practical aspect, whereas at Christ, they will provide you with numerous case studies and a rigorous syllabus. During your three-year tenure at Christ, you will be required to complete an internship and work in an NGO.
Emotional Benefit - Because Christ has a good ranking, a large crowd, a great environment, and a good infrastructure, you will feel more confident. It might not be the case in DU.
Faculty- Professors at DU are far more qualified than those at other colleges, and some are published authors as well. However, because they are a government institution, some do not teach at all and waste time. There are a few who teach exceptionally well. In Christ, even if they are not college or research paper qualified, almost all of them teach and even encourage students to come to them.
Alumni & Peer Group - Alumni of Christ are not strong enough to make a significant impact. North campus colleges in DU have excellent alumni. In terms of the south campus, it is the same as Christ for colleges such as SBSC, DCAC, Gargi, and so on. Peer group is also similar in terms of hard work and intelligence (though it may be higher in DU). However, the overall alumni of Delhi University are far more accomplished than Christ ever will be.
As far as the course B.Com (Hons.) is concerned, both the colleges, Gargi or SBSC are good in their own ways.
The Faculty of both the colleges are well experienced and cooperative. The only difference is that Gargi is an all girls college unlike the other.
If you want to choose between them, it is preferable you go for Gargi. Being a girl's college the experience you will be getting there will be quite different, considering the ambience.
SBCS is also good but Gargi has better placements, as many top companies take part in their placement program. Gargi also has a better position in DU in terms of Drama, Debate, cultural programs, extra-curriculars, etc.
Categories | Gargi College | SBSC |
Course Fee | INR 24,000 | INR 23,000 |
Highest CTC | 19.5 LPA | 12 LPA |
Average CTC | 8 LPA | 7-8 LPA |
Placement Percentage | 90% | 80% |
Therefore if you want more exposure from the college both in academics and extracurriculars, then Gargi would be a better choice.
According to the reviews online, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce (SGGSCC) is a very well maintained institution. They have a proper infrastructure with a good faculty and student crowd. Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC) is also academically a good institute.
It is suggested that you do not go for Dyal Singh College (DSC) but opt for anyone among the other two mentioned.
Between SGGSCC and SBSC make your choice based on the location. If you belong to South Delhi, Noida or Gurgaon, then choose SBSC. If you are from any other part of Delhi choose SGGSCC.
If you are from an outstation choose SGGSCC as overall living cost in North Delhi is cheaper than South Delhi and you can also stay near North Campus which will help you interact with a much more diverse set of people.
Yes, DU SOL is a good option for pursuing B.Com. To score well, you will have to be self-disciplined. You need to complete the syllabus on your own with the help of teachers and instructors. This course is especially good for people doing professional courses on the side.
Scoring 60% in the final year is not that difficult. The final year syllabus has more focus on practical subjects. To score well focus on these subjects.
Both Ramjas and Sri Venkateswara are reputed colleges under Delhi University. According to the reviews online Sri Venkateswara (SVC) is better when it comes to commerce than Ramjas.
SVC has better placements, faculty and overall exposure. Both colleges are very much involved in cultural activities and extracurriculars. If you are willing to opt for a science course then go for Ramjas, Commerce is better in SVC. They both have no strict rules to maintain a 75% attendance, you should just have enough to sit for the internals.
Students who are unable to sit in the internals due to their involvement in clubs and societies have to submit an ECA to their teacher. This is possible in both the colleges.
Ramjas has a better infrastructure than SVC. But all these do not matter much, if you are dedicated to your studies, you can succeed in any college. Choose the college nearer to you, the north or the south campus.
Heramba Chandra College is one of the top-tier Commerce colleges in West Bengal. It is better than Seth Anandram Jaipuria College. Here are the pros and cons of joining Heramba Chandra College.
Pros:
Cons:
At Jaipuria there are almost no placement opportunities. Also, the campus has high political influences.
The peer group at Herambachandra is better too since the cutoff is higher. Overall, it is a better prion for pursuing a B.Com degree.
