How do I pass the IGNOU BCA exam?

RK
Rahul Kumar Posted On : October 19th, 2022
Masters Degree holder from IGNOU MA in Public Administration

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 good is IMS Noida for studying BCA?

SS
Santosh Singh Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Studied at IMS Noida

IMS Noida has been providing education in various fields, including BCA for over two decades. However, recent reviews of the college suggest that there are some concerns that need to be addressed before you decide to enroll.

One of the main concerns that has been raised is the poor infrastructure of the college. Many students have reported that the facilities provided by the college are not up to the mark. Moreover, the high fees charged by the college are not justified by the facilities and quality of education provided. Therefore, if you are looking for a college with state-of-the-art facilities, IMS Noida might not be the right choice for you.

Another issue that has been raised is the quality of faculty. Some students have reported that the college has lost its good faculty members, and the current faculty is not up to the mark. This can affect the quality of education that you receive, and may impact your career prospects.

It is important to note that quality of education is a key factor to consider before choosing a college. If you opt for IMS Noida, you should be prepared for a mediocre quality of education, which may impact your future career prospects.

Therefore, it is advisable to do thorough research about the college before enrolling for BCA. You may also consider alternative options like Amity University or Christ University, which are known for their quality of education and have a good reputation in the industry. Additionally, you may also consider online courses or other alternatives to traditional college education, depending on your career goals and preferences.

How hard did you find it to complete BCA from IGNOU?

SR
Snighda Roy Posted On : October 28th, 2022
M.A. (Hons) in Masters in English Literature from Indira Gandhi National Open university (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 is better, BIT Mesra Jaipur or JECRC for a BCA?

SJ
Sandip Jain Posted On : March 16th, 2021
Studied at Jaipur Engineering College and Research Centre, Jaipur

My cousin attended both colleges. He left BIT Mesra to join JECRC. Here is his insight for the institutes.

Comparison:

  • BIT Mesra has better faculties, better brand name, better opportunities in terms of placements as well as higher studies. But unfortunately, the campus is not that good. There is a lack of cooperation from the university and less crowd.
  • In JECRC, you will get a good college experience. After all, all that matters, in the end, is your skills.
  • If you don’t have any interest in socializing and want a life with a brand name to carry forward, BIT Jaipur is definitely the better alternative.

For CSE particularly, the preference order should be BIT Jaipur >> JECRC.

How is JIMS Rohini for BCA?

AS
Anjana Seetalwad Posted On : July 7th, 2021
BBA from Jagan Institute of Management Studies (JIMS Rohini)

A friend of mine took the CET and scored 600 rank. She secured 87% marks in the board exams, but somehow she delayed the registration process for VIPS. She then took admission to JIMS Rohini after some donation.

JIMS Rohini is affiliated with IPU for its BCA program so you'll have to take the entrance exam for admission.

JIMS Rohini is a good college for BCA. One can expect a 15 lakh package at least after the training. You can find many good companies during the recruitment process, offering excellent packages. These include names like Deloitte, Godrej, TCS, Microsoft etc.

The campus is small but offers all essential services. The faculty is experienced and has the requisite knowledge of the fields they are teaching.
