Subject: Job Oppurtnities for MCA (IGNOU)
Date: 10-Mar-2002
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have done my B.A(H)Eng and along with that i pursued for BCA (IGNOU) after this i opted for MCA from IGNOU itself. as i wanted to continue my studies in computers. I chose correspondence course as i am working along with my studies. But now i am in a dilemma that whether doing my Masters from IGNOU will help me in the job market if i go out to look for a job in software .
Answer: IT market is competitive and after the IT slump, it has become more competitive. Not many jobs are there in IT per se. Please look at Bio-Tech as that is the picking up line. IGNOU MCA may not have that high value in the MNCs, but non MNCs do take other MCAs, but then they definitely do not pay that well.

Ultimately, if you are good at computers, a wizard I mean, degrees may not matter that much as many organizations take their own tests and if you are good at programming, you will excel.

Your counsel.
