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.
