What is the credit system of IGNOU? How do I select a subject?

NS
Neeraj Sethi Posted On : October 18th, 2022
M.A in Public Administration, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

If you apply for a BSc (Maths), for example, it means you want to study math.

  • You must choose two elective subjects from the four available ( Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Life Science).

  • To major in math, you must complete at least 40 credits in math.

  • If you want to major in math, you must take MTE 1, 2, and 4-9. These subjects will earn you 28 points. MTE 10 to 14 can be used to obtain the remaining 12 credits (for a minimum of 40 credits) to 20 credits (for a maximum of 48 credits in a subject).

  • The three-year course requires 96 credits, with 32 credits required each year.

  • Your foundation courses will total 16 credits in your first year. And you'll need 32 credits in a year. To meet that requirement, you can take MTE 1,2,4,5,6, or you can drop one paper and replace it with a second elective subject of your choice.

  • You have 8 credits for foundation courses in the second year. The remaining 32 credits must be satisfied by Math papers and the second elective.

Electives and application-oriented courses are available in the third year (AOC). AOC requires 16 or 8 credits in this case. This is because elective courses can take either 56 or 64 credits over the course of the semester. As previously stated, if you aim for a minimum of 40 credits, you only need 56 credits from electives and can have 16 credits from AOC. Alternatively, a maximum of 48 elective credits will leave you with 8 credits for AOC.

There are some subjects that must be taken together, such as MTE 4 and MTE 5. Subjects from the first year can be taken in the second or third year, but not in the first year. There are courses that have prerequisites and corequisites. Please make sure you take those so that you can study easily.

Applying online eliminates the possibility of accidentally taking the same subject twice. You also don't have to be concerned about credit fulfillment or subjects that must be taken concurrently.

Is there someone who declined the PGP admission offer from IIM Ahmedabad?

KS
Kartikey Singh Posted On : November 15th, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

Many people have chosen IIM Bangalore over IIM Ahmedabad. Everyone says IIM Ahmedabad has a better brand and a larger alumni network, but neither factor is particularly appealing to those who are considering leaving.

Many undergrads, particularly those with offers from consulting firms, investment banks, or private equity firms, choose their current job over an MBA at IIM A/B/C. After earning an MBA from a foreign university, these men can use their experience to land better jobs.

Is an IIM Indore 5 year program worth it? What salary could one expect? Is it equivalent to doing the IIM MBA after the UG?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : January 24th, 2023
Studied at the Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated in 2016)

It is not equivalent to an IIM MBA because the candidates do not pass the CAT exam. As a result, the industry has not yet accepted the 5-year program.

In the five years that an IPM student spends at the institute, he or she is exposed to a plethora of excellent opportunities. Apart from institutionalized opportunities like social placements (after the third year), foreign exchange (9th term), and summer placements (4th year), there is a lot that happens as a part of the Students Activity Council. There are regular competitions for IPM students that not only award cash prizes but also provide excellent opportunities to interact with new people, make contacts, and learn new things.

What order should I give in my preference list for IIT Goa, IIT Jammu, IIT Dharwad, IIT Tirupati, IIT Palakkad and IIT Bhilai?

SS
Sasha Saxena Posted On : March 26th, 2021
Studied B.Tech at Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad (2019).

Well, there is no ideal order that can be given. Within a year or two, CSE in all the New IITs will get over 2500 JEE rank. IIT Bhilai will be a better choice than other New IITs. IIT Bhilai really looks promising.

IIT Hyderabad under its dynamic and visionary director has done a very prompt job. A good facility and a good hostel have been made available. Timetable and faculty are nice. IIT Hyderabad is growing very revolutionary. They are even putting a 3D printing Lab for the first year.

IIT Jammu has been the only IIT in the history of IITs to have started operating from its permanent campus location in just the second year of its opening i.e. from August 2017 (beating every old IITs in this regard).

And If we talk about IIT Raipur, then it is well connected by air i.e., quite open as compared to other IITs.
