Subject: Education oppurtunities after Diploma
Date: 24-Feb-2002
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have done my diploma in Electronics from V.J.T.I. I am working as a
software developer for the last three years. I will like to have some graduation degree in Computers. I am presently doing BCA from IGNOU, this is my second year. But I am looking for some other oppurtunities. Though this is a correspondence course, students have to attend practicals with 100% compulsory attendance. It becomes very difficult to adjust with a demanding Job. I have heard about the DOEACC, B level which is equivalent to MCA, which is quite flexible. I will like to know whether a course is
considered equivalent to MCA degree. Also if i have to choose between IGNOU
and DOEACC, which is a better choice. If i do IGNOU, i will get a bachelor's degree, But by doing DOEACC i will get a certificate which is equivalent to MCA. It is quite clear that IGNOU has no value in Software Industry. I am not so sure what value DOEACC has. When i go to their sites they have list of good companies which have recruited students who have done DOEACC courses. My recquirement is a degree course which will be recognised in software industry. Are there any choices available.
Looking forward for help from u.
Answer: The DOACC is recognized as equivalent to MCA. It is useful to do this course. As far as the software Industry is concerned, they will prefer MCA rather than equivalent.
