Bachelor of Computer Applications [BCA] (Part Time) From IGNOU, New Delhi

Q: How hard did you find it to complete BCA from IGNOU?

My brothers friend completed his BCA from IGNOU. Recounting his experience, he told me that it was very difficult to adapt to the self-learning environment. He failed consecutively in all three semesters in the beginning. He was on the verge of giving up. He realized that the study material provided by IGNOU is actually designed for self-study. He made notes, researched and practised a lot and he was able to complete both BCA and MCA. He said that it was self-study that helped me achieve my goal. If you want to get good marks in IGNOU you have to focus on your self-study sessions more than anything.

IGNOU: 3 Answered Questions

How do I pass the IGNOU BCA exam?

Rahul KumarMasters Degree holder from IGNOU MA in Public Administration

One of my friends was pursuing BCA from IGNOU. He shared that initially he did not take the course seriously. He believed that distance learning is extremely easy and does not require effort. But as per his experience, this course is no joke despite being distance learning. BCA is a technical or IT field. You can't just write anything and attain marks like many other subjects.

He further shared a few tips that might help you pass the IGNOU BCA exam:

You will have to start working hard right from your first year. Set your goal as 80-90%. Only then will you get around 50-60%.
Try to pass each and every subject in your first attempt.
Don't leave any questions unanswered in your exams.
Read study materials provided by IGNOU.
Solve the past 5-6 years' question papers thoroughly. This will be a big help.

If you follow the tips sincerely, you will get good marks in your BCA exams.
