What are the cons and pros of doing an undergraduate degree from IGNOU?
In education, the university does not matter more than your performance and marks. You might have graduated from IIT but your scores might be average. Similarly, you might have graduated from IGNOU and scored much more marks. Your degree from IGNOU can never be a negative aspect in your resume.
PROS:
-
Saves your time.
-
Allows you to multitask- you can do a job along with studying.
-
You can take exams from any place in India
CONS:
-
You will definitely miss your college days.
-
You might miss fests and other extracurricular activities.
You can continue to prepare for further exams alongside doing BA from IGNOU. There are several examples where people cracked UPSC at the age of 22 with just a degree from IGNOU without any coaching. One such example is Keshavendra Kumar IAS from Bihar. So yes, it’s a tough but probable choice you need to make.
Is a BCom (A & F) from IGNOU eligible for pursuing CFA?
Yes, a BCom (A&F)degree from IGNOU is eligible for pursuing CFA. A bachelor's degree with UGC accreditation is considered eligible for level 1 examination. CFA University doesn’t have a list of approved universities.
You can go for CFA course if you are in your final year. There’s a provision that your graduation years and experience in Finance combined should be at least equal to four years. If you are not a graduate but you have four years of work experience in Core Finance, you can go for CFA course as well.
What is your review of Ahmedabad University?
One of my friends pursued his BBA degree from Ahmedabad University. His review regarding the institute is as follows.
- Regardless of the course, you are pursuing, you need to stay engaged in your studies throughout the year at AU. You can’t mug up your books right before your examination and score well. You will have quizzes, case studies, presentations, etc. almost before every class.
- It offers a wide range of courses. You will need to make your own timetable for the subjects that you choose.
- The faculty of the institute is helpful. You can talk to them about your area of interest.
- There are many clubs that you can join. Every Wednesday, different club events take place.
Which is better for an MS in General Surgery: AIIMS, JIPMER or PGI?
Surgery can’t be read and understood. Also, no matter the number of simulations you run through, practicing on a human body is very different.
Now, with their limited number of beds, these institutions perform complex surgeries through protocol defining procedures. As a resident at these, you won’t perform many surgeries. Also, you’ll have a limited exposure to trivial diseases. On the flip side, you’ll witness some of the best surgeons at work, and access top notch technology. To master surgery, you’ll have to become an SR at these institutions.
But at a decent government college hospital, the volume of patients is very high. As a result, you’ll be pushed into the OT. So you’ll get good practice, under proper supervision. However, at these colleges, protocols take a back seat. You’ll have to compromise with low funding as a resident at these institutions.
I would personally recommend going for a decent government college. But you should choose according to your own preferences.

Can I crack CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) and get into NLSIU or NALSAR after taking Science in 12th?
If you want to appear for CLAT, it does not matter what stream you were following in your higher secondary years. CLAT does not check your knowledge about a particular stream but it tests your aptitudes.
- If you work hard then you will definitely be able to get the admission nod from NLSIU or NALSAR.
- Since you are in your 10(+2), manage your time carefully between preparing for your board exams and preparing for CLAT.
- You must have a strong foundation in general knowledge, legal aptitude, English, mathematics or quantitative aptitude, and logical reasoning if you want to appear for the CLAT.
The exams tend to be very competitive and they are not as easy as they look. Try to take mock exams and solve the questions of the previous years to get acquainted with the pattern in which the exams are held.

Are SPJIMR (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's) and SP Jain School of Global Management related in any way? If they are not related, which one is better?
I am going to address the most common misconception that SPJIMR and SP Jain are somewhat related.
Establishment: SPJIMR was established in 1981 and is associated with the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, one of the only two institutes of national importance. SP Jain on the other hand was established in 2005. SP Jain or Sheehan Prasad Jain provided capital for the foundation of SPJIMR during its establishment. Later they decided to launch their own brand in the name of SP Jain. This is the main reason why people get confused between the two.
Campus: SPJIMR is solely Mumbai based and has no other campus whereas SP Jain’s Mumbai campus is one of the 4 campuses of the institute.
Legacy: SPJIMR is 36 years old and has a legacy of providing excellent management education focusing on value-based growth. SP Jain is a relatively new institute that is yet to build some credibility in order to impact the Management scene in India.
Alumni: SPJIMR has a much stronger and broader alumni network than SP Jain.
We can draw the following points of conclusion from this comparison
- SPJIMR is the authentic SP B School everyone is looking for
- The quality of education at SPJIMR is at elegy with that of International B Schools which is not the case for SP Jain
- The little game achieved by SP Jain is because of its accidental linkup with SPJIMR
- The schools are definitely not rivals as SPJIMR is way ahead of SP Jain. We cannot really compare a 10-year Institute with a 36-year-old one.
I hope my answer has cleared all your doubts regarding the relationship between SPJIMR and SP Jain.
