Tamil Nadu Open University - [TNOU]: 7 answered questions

Ques
What should be done? Do we need UG degree completion certificate to pursue a master’s degree at Tamil Nadu Open University?

● Top Answer By Susmriti Dey on 20 Apr 21

Ans
We all believe that getting a degree from a university or education is just all. Obviously, one should have mandatory basic education till class 10th /12th. But after that, you should look forward to your personal interest and then pursue further studies. Continuing education for the sake of a degree is not a good option. There is a huge difference between pupil and student life. When you are in school you are taught and in college, you have to learn as a student. This urge of students to grab just a degree has degraded their own careers. In India, lakhs of students graduate every year but only a few are suitable for their respective job roles. Even for a Grade “C” and “D”, lakhs of graduates apply. Not only have they, but many dropouts from schools also apply for such jobs. And this is how they all are degrading their career and country’s economy. So, your first priority should be that you access yourself and understand what you want to do in life. Because we get one life and spending half of it in getting degrees and half in searching for a job is not a thing. Choose wisely because all your future depends on such decisions. Good luck!

Ques
Is it good to do a BBA from an open university run by a state government like KSOU and TNOU to get in a better college in the future for studying an MBA?

● Top Answer By Krunal Saha, on 27 Oct 21

Ans
Joining an MBA college does not usually depend on a student graduating with a regular course or correspondence course. But if you are not from a regular course, you tend to miss a lot of experiences which are only possible in a college atmosphere.  During your interview for admission in an MBA course, you will be asked why you opted for this rather than a regular college. You might have to put some more focus on extracurriculars as they will also come in handy during your selection. Your selection will only be considered if there are not many students from regular courses applying for MBA. It is a very rare situation, and you should not depend on it. It is suggested that you go for correspondence BBA or any graduate course. Join the full-time program and get familiar with the classroom environment. Symbiosis or Manipal is recommended for BBA as they are more reputed colleges than state Universities.

Ques
Does Tamil Nadu open university degree BA in an English literature certificate have value in Kerala universities?

● Top Answer By Sreeja Prasad on 03 Nov 20

Ans
Tamil Nadu Open University the first Open University of Chennai located in the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu. The courses offered by University are recognized by UGC, NCTE, RCI, and DEB. Various UG and PG programs such as BA, BCom, BSc, BBA, MBA, MCA, MA, MSc, and various certificate and vocational courses are offered to candidates including BA in English. BA English literature is the most common course among the students of humanities and various specializations under humanities. However, distance education programs for BA hold lesser value. Here are a few highlights about the BA in English program offered by the institute. Curriculum: The syllabus of the BA English program follows a credit system. In the 1st 2 years, students are required to complete 36 credits and in the 3rd year, there are 32 credits. In 1st and 2nd year, along with English, students need to study another language, such as Tamil, Urdu, French, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu. The course curriculum includes the Age of Chaucer, Restoration Age, Romantic Age, Victorian Age, Social History of England, American Literature, Modern English Literature, Introduction to Literary Criticism and Theories, Introduction to Language & Linguistics, etc. Infrastructure: The college has a top-class library and facilities like canteens and classrooms are also available. The infrastructure of the college is fairly good and Wi-Fi facilities are not available for students. Classrooms and the library are very big with lots of subject-oriented books and journals. Faculty: TNOU has vast faculty members with more than 15 years of teaching experience. Most of the faculty members are Ph.D. holders in their respective fields or disciples. All of them are very fluent in English and the local language Tamil. They always try to attend to each student separately and clear their doubts. Placement: TNOU offers a variety of Seminars, Guest Lectures, webinars, Conferences, Corporate Meets, Personality Development & Communication Skills Programs, and Counselling Sessions to prepare the candidates before the placements drive. Till now TNOU has successfully placed 60,000 students. The salary packages offered to the students ranged between rupees 15000-25000 per month. One should try to find out if the University has a good background for the degree you are seeking admission into. The university does not have to be a government university. For instance, an MBA from IGNOU and symbiosis always has a higher value than a distance MBA from any IIM but a full-time course at IIM could match nothing. So do your research and choose accordingly.
