IGNOU What is the procedure for submitting assignments?
Below are the following steps:
A. Go to IGNOU's assignment page and download your assignment.
Take care to only download assignments for the current year. Many students make the mistake of downloading the previous year's assignment, only to discover this on the day of submission. If you download the incorrect assignment, all of your hard work will be for naught.
B. Worksheets
A4 sheets with rules on both sides are standard in all study centers. If you intend to submit in punched files, you can purchase punched sheets. IGNOU's regulations clearly state that assignments should be written on white sheets only. Printing is not permitted. You must complete your entire assignment. Printouts of complex diagrams and graphs, on the other hand, can be pasted.
Your teachers can best advise you on this because it varies from course to course.
C. Writing Assignments
To be honest, most students copy their assignments from the internet or their friends. You can use whatever method you want, depending on how accommodating the teachers at your study center are. It is recommended that you write your assignment yourself. The reasons are straightforward:
a) You will read and try to understand the topics presented in books as you work on your assignments. If you sincerely complete your assignment by reading and understanding concepts on your own, you will have completed more than half of your exam preparation.
b) Your assignment will be one-of-a-kind and may make an excellent first impression.
c) You do not need to be concerned about the viva.
If you choose to copy your assignment, please prepare thoroughly for the viva. You can get good grades in assignments if you give a good viva.
D. Set a deadline.
When you download an assignment from IGNOU's website, the deadline is usually written on the front page of each course's assignment. Although the deadline specified in the assignment is always extended by about 15-20 days. To be on the safe side, complete your assignment well before the deadline specified in your assignment.
E. The Submission Date
Organize your assignments neatly and orderly in files.
Go to your Study Center, where you will be given a receipt to fill out. It will be stamped and signed by your study center once completed. Keep the receipt safe until the results are announced. If your assignment grades aren't updated on IGNOU's website, your receipt will come in handy. After that, turn in your assignment to the teacher. They will begin checking it while also considering your viva.
F. Final approval
When the results are announced, double-check your grade card to ensure that your assignment grades have been properly updated. If you have any questions, please contact the regional center using the assignment submission receipt.
What are some experiences people have had with the IGNOU exams? Are they difficult and what level of preparation is needed or can one be a bit easygoing?
The truth about IGNOU is that it does not care about you, and its success rate is much lower than that of other universities. IGNOU will be much more difficult than any other university; even your regular course may be much easier than what you will experience at IGNOU. It's not so much the degree that you'll get from IGNOU as it is the experience of how harsh and demanding life will be, how things will go wrong and you'll have to make them right. The terms provided by IGNOU may appear simple, but soon everything will begin to unfold; there will be success and setbacks. You will have to rework things over and over again, or you will fail. Exams are easy but they become tougher as you progress. You might get (low) grades as you've never gotten before, just because IGNOU is a miser in terms of giving marks.
Even though IGNOU exams are not difficult, here are some factors that contribute to their difficulty: The study material is never delivered on time; if it is, you will not receive your entire syllabus for the current semester; frequently, the study material arrives in the following semester. The exam schedule is appalling. There will be times when you have two exams on the same day, times when you have exams on consecutive days, and times when you only have one exam at the end of the month. Exam papers are not difficult (if you know the subject), but the point is that there is no specific standard that IGNOU has set for its marking scheme. As a result, even if you have answered questions correctly and to the best of your ability, you may still lose.
I got CSE in VIT Vellore and will get mechanical engineering in NIT Calicut. Which one should I choose?
NIT Calicut stands among the top NITs where you will get a lot of exposure to extracurricular activities. As it’s a government college, the fees will be relatively low as compared to private universities like VIT Vellore.
On the other hand, VIT Vellore isn’t that great institute plus being a private institute the fees is quite high for most middle-class students. If you choose Mechanical here then you can go for two different paths.
- The first path is to go for mechanical core, in which you will get ample research opportunities every now and then. However, the placement scenario will not be that great and you might get some PSUs as campus recruiters for mechanical jobs.
- The second path is to go for IT Jobs regardless of your mechanical branch.
- For this, you need to start doing regular coding and relevant skills to compete during the placement rounds.
- Most of the students are placed by mass recruiters, Although many reputed companies hire but very few students get placed by them.
| Categories | Mechanical at NIT Calicut | CSE at VIT Vellore |
| Course Fee | 5.48 lakhs | 7.83 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 9 LPA | 6-8 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | L&T, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Tata Motors, etc. | Flipkart, Oracle, HP, Dell, etc. |
At last, it all depends on your interest and caliber to do well on various career paths. However, if you are inclined towards CSE only then VIT is quite a good option because placements are pretty good there for CSE. Some of the major recruiters include PayPal, Microsoft, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, etc.

Is it possible to get a seat in NALSAR Hyderabad with 5 months of preparation belonging to science stream?
My best friend was in the science stream and took admission as a B.Tech student in IIT Kharagpur, but afterward, he prepared for Law for 3 months and got through. He's an advocate today.
It is absolutely possible to prepare for the exam in such a short period. Just maintain the balance and if you could, devote more time for preparation. Strategic time management and discipline are what you need.
Work on the derivations in Physics and concepts. Read current affairs in between and this will be a good way to work in balance.
Why is that BIT Mesra has not gained as much fame as BITS Pilani though it was setup before BITS, with good infrastructure?
BIT Mesra, even today is a premiere Indian Institution which was established alongside IIT Kharagpur in the 1950s. The alumni from BIT Mesra have made great contributions in their respective fields in the past. At one time, BIT Mesra had an admission criteria which was eventually scrapped due to unethical practices used during the admissions.
The reason why BIT Mesra has lagged far behind BITS Pilani is that it is not evolving with the fast-paced world. BIT Mesra is not making any significant changes in its academics to compete with other premier Indian universities.
BITS Pilani has adapted with time. Both the motivated students and the education quality at BITS Pilani make it stand high above BIT Mesra.BITS Pilani has no attendance criteria for its students. Even then, the students like to attend the classes due to a healthy teaching environment.
BITS Pilani was established by G.D. Birla in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. Its academic program flowcharts are thus derived from MIT. BIT Mesra, on the other hand, has no collaborative backing as such. The practical learning environment at BITS Pilani stands much higher than the rote learning mindset at BIT Mesra.
The faculty at BITS Pilani is excellent in terms of knowledge, interest, and supporting nature. On the other hand, the faculty at BIT Mesra is not favored by the students. The students find the faculty at BIT Mesra to be very rigid and dominating which causes hurdles in a healthy teacher-student relationship.
To regain its lost status, BIT Mesra should adopt more modern learning methods, a well-adaptive curriculum, and a more supportive faculty like BITS Pilani.

What is your review about NIT Jamshedpur?
My friend recently graduated from NIT Jamshedpur. Here is her review.
Location: The campus is located in Adityapur, surrounded by industries. It is a bit away from Tatanagar Railway Station. Since Jamshedpur doesn’t have an airport the best way to reach the campus is from Ranchi via NH-33.
Infrastructure-wise: Both the hostels and the computer centers are revamped. The main buildings of the campus are still under further development but are expected to be in maintenance soon. However, the mega hostels, known as J & K, are an enhanced sight of the campus.
Academics
- The quality of professors or the methodology of their teaching is quite not up to the mark. Few professors of the institute somewhat still follow the old pedagogy and are sometimes not cooperative. On contrary, the newly appointed Ad-hoc faculties are supportive and are willing to guide students.
- Students of the institute perform well in competitive examinations. Many made it to IITs, IIMs, or various international institutes as well.
- The Central Workshop and laboratories, substantially Fluid, Thermodynamics, and Metallurgical are not quite well maintained.
Placement Reports:
A few major recruiting companies are (in respective branches) as follows.
- CSE: Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle
- ECE: Amazon, Oracle Finance, Wipro, Mahindra Comviva
- EEE: Tata Steel, JSW Steel, L&T, BPCL
- ME: Tata Motors, L&T, Tata Steel, BPCL
- MME: JSW Steel, Vedanta, Tata Metaliks, Tata Steel
- CE: Simplex, L&T
- PIE: Tata Hitachi, JK Tyre, JK Paper, Tata Motors
FIITJEE, Rao Academy, Career Point, etc, are examples of coaching institutes that recruited as well. The highest package received was 30 LPA while the average salary was 12 LPA
Extracurricular Activities:
The TechnoManagement fest, Ojass, and Cultural fest, Culfest are the major events of the institute. There are several automobile teams as well, like Team Phoenix, the aircraft team; Team Rays, the hybrid car team and Team Daksh, Off road car team.
This is the in-depth scenario of the institute.
How good is CSE at NIT Jamshedpur?
I have a friend at NIT Jamshedpur, so I can give you a brief idea about the CSE department.
The placement of the CSE department in NIT Jamshedpur somehow reached some new highs over the last few years. Students from the CSE department have a placement average of around 95%.
Here’s a little highlight of the 2020 placement drive at the institute.
|
Average CTC |
12 LPA |
|
Highest CTC |
30 LPA |
|
Top Recruiters |
TATA Powers, Deloitte, Amazon |
Although if you are aspiring for an MS or MBA, then NIT Jamshedpur is probably not the best choice for you. You will get ample time during vacations to prepare but the environment of the institute is not ideal for the preparation of these examinations.
There are several groups of students, from the past few years, who have not qualified for examinations like these from the CSE department.
