Is French certification from IGNOU useful?
This answer is based on the experience of my colleagues. If you are willing to pursue a French course just for the sake of learning then IGNOU is a good choice. But if you are pursuing French to earn through it, then French certification from IGNOU is not recommended.
The reason is that employers don’t take distance learning seriously. They prefer regular colleges. They might not take your certificate seriously and your chances of getting employed will become low.
If you are willing to make an earning out of French language consider the following professional courses:
-
French levels CEFR A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2
-
Specialised French Courses - Alliance Française Montpellier
One more option is that you can first learn French from IGNOU and then appear for International tests like DELF DALF diplomas, French language proficiency exams valid worldwide to prove your expertise in the language.
Is selective IGNOU BA and MA political science sufficient for political science optional in UPSC?
One of my sister's acquaintances wrote 2016 mains with PSIR optional. She had been working in an IT firm till a month before prelims and had been preparing for a year before.
Political Science and International Relations (PSIR) is quite fast. The study material provided by IGNOU is good for selective reading for specific topics like Justice, Equality, MN Roy, Sri Aurobindo, Theory of international relations etc. But she had an engineering background and revealed that the notes were not of premium quality.
Paper 1- Part A
Gauba is not bad. But you will need to read the book more than one time to interpret it completely. The information has been divided unevenly within the chapters making it a difficult read. One more good source is Shubra Ranjan's notes. They summarise the points in the UPSC syllabus format.
Paper 1- Part B
Complete Laxmikant.Read the interpretations given by famous analysts, their viewpoints, case laws and their history and the politics that played behind the evolution of laws and how and why the judiciary evolved. Again for this look into Shubra Ranjan notes. For the remaining topics look into Oxford publications.
Paper 2- part A
For this part, the best recommendation is Heywood’s global politics. It’s easy to understand and very well written. Combine this with IGNOU notes and you will get good results. You can also go through questions given in Baylis and Smith because sometimes they appear verbatim and quoting the exact same viewpoint can get you some extra points.
Paper 2 - Part B
Conduct internet research and make your own notes on the topics included in the syllabus. Then go through commentaries on IDSA /IPCS websites. This will give you a better understanding of and current status of relations.
Once you are done with all the study materials, focus on developing the vocabulary for PSIR. Make sure your answers are evenly distributed with theories, quotes, facts, years etc. Practice writing answers a lot.

What is the value of an RGPV (MP) B.E. degree outside Madhya Pradesh?
A degree from RGPV is as valuable as a degree from any other university. This university is also approved by UGC and is the state technological university of MP.
There are two cases where you are getting this degree. First, you are willing to pursue a career through competitive exams. If that is the case then don’t worry. This degree holds value throughout the country.
Second, you are pursuing this degree to get a job at an IT firm. If this is the case then you should know there are chances your degree does not get recognition easily. Some companies like Accenture, have criteria that the student should be from a particular college.

IIT Warangal is a much older institution, however, IIT Patna offers some very interesting clubs and societies in various areas. Other than NJAC, it offers technical societies like AI-NLP-ML Group, DSC and OWASP. This makes for a healthy coding environment.
Other than that, its highest and average placement packages are also better than the other two institutions. IIT Patna carries the prestigious ‘IIT’ tag which is beneficial when applying for higher studies abroad. Moreover, IIT Mandi has a beautiful but remote location in the mountains. Whereas, Patna city offers better connectivity.
Because of all these reasons, IIT Patna is a better choice than IIT Mandi and NIT Warangal.
Which is better, CUSAT or IISER?
If you are a true science lover, then IISERs are the best option for you. Although institutes like IISc, NISER, CEBS, IACS, and a few IITs, also offer similar science-oriented degrees IISERs resources, exposure, and research culture are second to none.
IISERs offer a 5 year integrated BS-MS degree which helps avoid the hassle of applying for a Bachelor’s and a Master’s separately.
So, if you are a research enthusiast and want to pursue a long-term educational program to fuel your passion, then IISERs will serve you best. However, CUSAT can be considered if you are looking for a course or opportunity that is unique to CUSAT only.
