I am pursuing MA economics from IGNOU. What are the books which we should follow?
The study material provided by IGNOU is elaborate and more than enough. You don't really need books except for these 3 subjects:
MEC 001 Microeconomic Analysis: For the subject, you might need some extra notes. The best way is to google the topics. You can make notes on the numerical part especially. Usually, the numerical questions are the same as the previous years. Still, it is recommended that you don't skip the study material.
MEC 003 Quantitative Methods in Economics: For this subject, you can make the best use of YouTube videos. Also practising from the previous year's papers will prove to be very helpful.
MEC 105 Indian Economic Policy: The study material provided for this particular subject needs to be updated with the latest data and figures. So it's highly recommended that you prepare topic-wise notes after thorough study.
Ultimately focus on the syllabus whichever source you are referring to.

What are the best things for BIT Mesra students to do on weekends?
Depending upon your personality type, there are different things for you to do on weekends at BIT Mesra. Some of these are-
- If you are the studious type, you can spend your weekends in the library reading books.
- Couples like to spend their weekends in the Mehak canteen, also known by the name of ‘Apni Rasoi’. You can also take the BIT bus and visit some new places in Ranchi.
- If you like to have fun and explore during your weekends, you can see the quiet and scenic river sides. BIT Mesra is surrounded by rivers on three sides. But, I would suggest you to not get caught by the college guards while roaming around these spots.
- You can visit the Sharma canteen adjacent to the G.P. Birla auditorium. There you will meet new people with whom you can chat. Also, their samosas and shikanji are a must try.
- Evenings of BIT Mesra are best spent at IC. There you can find a vibrant, diverse crowd of people, all spending time with those that are relatable or close to them. Visiting IC to hangout with your friends is worthwhile.
- The Sports Complex is meant for fitness and gym freaks. Also, it’s a good place to spend your free time exercising.
- You can rent a bike from rental services and explore spots such as Ramgarh and Patratu.
- There aren't many places in or around BIT Mesra for foodies. You can visit the lounges and confectioneries in Ranchi.
These are some of the things you can do on your weekend while at BIT Mesra.

How is IIIT Hyderabad's MSIT course for a non it student ? What sort of companies recruit from the MSIT course?
IIIT Hyderabad MSIT course is perfect for someone who has a flawed academic profile like a gap year or something. People like these have very limited opportunities so this course might uplift their chances of getting placed decently. However, since you specifically asked, this course is not a good option if you have an IT background. This is because the curriculum is repetitive and covered in a shorter duration. Also, if you are employed, it’s better to invest your efforts in improving your work experience than wasting time on this course.
The placements are decent and in fact, during the first phase, you might get into top IT giants like Amazon, Salesforce, American Express, etc. But if you fail to get placed in these then the only option left is to get into service sector-based companies.
So, this course is best suited for those who are looking for a means to upgrade their academic profile.
How good is IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering (Power and Automation)?
IIT Delhi’s Electrical Engineering department has a number of branches like
- Communication Engineering (Communications Group, Electrical Engineering, IIT Delhi)
- Control and Automation (Control & Automation)
- Computer Technology (Computer Technology)
- Integrated Electronics Circuits (Integrated Electronics and Circuits)
- Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Drives (Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, and Drives)
- Power Systems
This allows Electrical Engineering students to choose from a wide range of topics and they don’t have to restrict their area of interest. However, to provide core electrical engineering education and research opportunities, there is a separate Electrical specialization in Power and Automation.
Owing to the small batch size and top-notch lab facilities, IIT Delhi’s Electrical department is highly coveted and is funded by Industry donations and partnerships. The performance rate of the students of this department has been increasing over the past few years and these students continue to perform well in each batch.
However, it is important to note that academic rigor is high in this department and requires a high level of commitment. But your efforts don’t go wasted because of the excellent packages offered to the students of this branch.

Do your part of the research and talk to people who have completed this program and then make the final decision.
What is the cost of changing subjects in IGNOU?
The cost of changing subjects in IGNOU is as follows:
-
Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course
-
INR 600/- for a 6/8 credit course for undergraduate courses.
-
For the Master’s Degree Programme, it is INR 500/- for 2/4 credit
-
INR 1000/- for 6/8 credits course
All these payments are to be made by way of a demand draft drawn in favour of IGNOU payable at the place of concerned Regional Centre. All such requests for a change of Elective/ Course should be addressed to the concerned Regional Centre only as per schedule.
However, the first point -Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course is subject to doubt. This is because many of my friends have changed their elective courses after two or three months.
What are the minimum subjects to be taken for the BA programme of IGNOU?
In BA you have 96 credits in total. From which:
-
24 credits are of 3 compulsory courses of 8 credits each.
-
64 or 56 credits are of the courses of your choice.
-
8 or 16 credits are of application oriented courses.
You are allowed to complete only 32 credits every year. If you want minimum courses for your BA program you should choose all courses of 8 credits each. That will be 12 courses for 3 years, 4 courses per year.
But if you want your BA degree to be a BA major, then you must complete 48 credits in one specific subject (subject in which you want a BA major).
2 more important things to know are:
-
The theory exams of the 4 credit courses are of 50 marks in 2 hrs.
-
The theory exams of the 8 credit courses are of 100 marks in 3 hrs.
Note that these 48 credits must be completed in 3 years with minimum 16 credits per year in that specific subject.
Is DTU ragging free?
Yes, DTU is a completely ragging-free campus, and the kind of mistreatment against juniors is reprimanded.
My friend shared her first-day experience at DTU. She arrived late and missed the orientation so had no idea where the classroom and hostel were. She was flustered and roamed around looking for her class for about 30 minutes. After losing all hopes she finally mustered the courage and approached a group of seniors and asked them about her class. One of them asked for her registration number and then searched the schedule on the official website. He then told her the exact directions to her class. He also gave his phone number and told her to contact him if she faced any issues in the future.
This anecdote alone proves that DTU is a ragging-free campus with extremely helpful seniors.
