Subject: Job Prospects after MCA from IGNOU
Date: 4-Jan-2003
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I've taken admission to MCA program of IGNOU. I would like to know the job prospects of this course from IGNOU. I've completed my BCA from the same University. I've also done 'O' level course. I'm really very worried about my future. I mean I did my graduation through correspondence & now PG course is also done in the same way, am I wasting my time or will it be of any help to improve my career prospects? Please reply as soon as possible 'because it is really affecting my life. Thank you.
Answer:

I assume that you are working and that is why you are doing a correspondence course. Or is it that you are free, yet doing MCA by correspondence. If you are not doing any thing, then you should do some vocational course and work along your academics. Courses develop skills. You need to hone your skills. The degree will help you to compete, but the edge will be provided only by skills. There are a number of companies barring multinationals who recognize effectively IGNOU. The MNCs may not say they do not recognize, but they also do not keep such people also.

Your counsel.
