IGNOU degree is accredited by the Indian government and is recognized as equivalent to a graduate degree in engineering in the United States. Students get their H1B visa stamped because it is considered a professional qualification, but they are sponsored by one of the top 5 Software MNCs in India, which is very important. A degree from IGNOU has enormous validity and recognition.

Sure, you may have difficulty breaking into the job market because most employers prefer "Regular" degrees from a reputable college or university. Nobody is lucky enough to get a job of their choice. The only difference is that distance learning requires you to fight more, both during your studies and in the job market. However, one should not overthink, hard work pays off.

Maintain your fundamentals, learn and master the latest technology, and prepare yourself to be versatile and competitive.

Your priority should be to find a job in your field of study, rather than a high-paying job. When you're in the field, your experience counts, and your degree usually takes a back seat.

A student should take no more than 96 credits in BA (applicable for every subject).

To obtain a major in any subject, a student must have a total of 48 credits in that subject, which equates to 6 papers of 8 credits taken over three years. (2 papers per year)

The remaining 48 credits are divided as follows:

• In the first and second years, compulsory papers BSHF 101 and FST 01, each worth 8 credits.

• Students in their second year are required to take one elective course in addition to the compulsory course and the subject in which they are majoring.

• Applied Courses are for third-year students, and they can be taken for 8 or 16 credits.

• Students may take any subject from Group 1 to Group A1 in addition to Group A1.

As a result, the number of subjects taken each year is determined by the number of credits a student takes. If a 4-credit subject is chosen, the student should take two 4-credit papers for a total of 8 credits, increasing the number of papers.

Every college at Delhi University offers B.Com (Hons) without including math in your best four, despite the fact that math should be a subject in your 12th grade.

It is to take into account that to be admitted to an undergraduate course that requires a specific subject or a group of subjects, candidates must have passed the subject/each of the subjects individually.

Christ University doesn’t have a good faculty base for an MBA. The MBA coursework is constructed poorly. Throughout the course, students are under pressure to complete their CIA, assignments, etc. The scope for hands-on learning is limited. 

It has a huge student intake. There are around 400 students in each batch. Christ University MBA placements are average at best. The 2022 placement concluded with the highest CTC of INR 20 LPA. 

My brother had offers from IITs to choose any branch except CSE and chose Electrical Engineering in IIT KGP. To date, he does not regret his decision. There are ups and downs in every Institute; it just takes time to adapt yourself to such situations.

It is true that some professors overdo it and push you to the extreme, but if you look at this in a positive manner, it’s their pushing that eventually helps you succeed. There are many seniors who might make fun of your tiny efforts in the labs but trust me, today when they will look back, they will surely be regretting the time they wasted watching movies or series.

My brother told me that Electrical Engineering gave him so many friends and experiences that make him yearn for college life today. The labs are old-fashioned and lack much activity in contrast to a SigNet lab/ Power Systems lab.

• Curriculum: The primary aim of the course curriculum offered in Electrical Engineering at IIT KGP is to impart to students tools and skills that will make it possible for them to excel in departments such as Electronics, Communication, Computers, Aerospace, and Energy.
• Job prospects: An important point to note is that Electrical Engineering does not prepare you for a job but for higher education in the respective areas. Many people from the department pursue M.S. in Aerospace and Material Sciences. 
• Faculty: While many may not agree, the faculty is excellent except for a few. The cream faculty include Prof. D Das, Prof TKB, Prof S Patra, and Prof S Chattopadhyay among others. Interacting with them might change your opinion regarding the IIT KGP faculty.
• Research: The research is obviously not at par with that conducted in CS or EC, but it surely does justice to the department itself.

I think it’s high time people clear misconceptions about Electrical Engineering and develop a positive opinion about it. We should stop running after jobs and companies and in turn let companies seek us.
