MCA In Correspondence is also Valuable, But I will advice you, to do MCA course Regular. But if you have not be able to attened the MCA regular classes, then you can do MCA in correspondence.

Many Colleges will Offer MCA correspondence course like IGNOU, Pune University, Sikkim Manipal University, Delhi University And Anna University.

But, the Preference Will be Given To the Regular candidates.

Because In now a days, Top IT Comapnies, will recruits the MCA regular Candidates. So, if you have a time, then its better to do Regular MCA course and after completing Regular MCA, you will definitely get Good Jobs in Top IT Companies Like Infosys, Wipro, Hp, HCL, And Many More.

So, if you are interested in MCA course through Correspondence mode, then Its better To do this Course from Top Correspondence colleges, Only then you will get good Jobs in Future.

So, please think and then decide, if you are interested to do through correspondence mode Or through regular mode. And if you have a doubt, then please talk with some senior member in your family.

*There's certainly a big difference between regular and distance education. In regular education you get to attend the classroom teaching which cannot be substituted by any means.

*The video learning of distance education is one way and lecturite in nature which doesn't help you culture the particular subject. Moreover in distance education you are not aware of your level of progress as you have no one to compete against.
*Due to all these reasons preference is always given to regularly obtained degrees.

*Distance education is less seen of advantage as compared to a regular mode, but then a distance education degree is a better option for those who are having work experience and work along side.

Osmania MCA is better or IGNOU MCA?

Hi

To be very frank, A regular course always wins over the Correspondence and distance learning.
This is because, the regular course provides you a regularity in your studies, the constant touch with the faculty, your friends, and books make you more efficient as a professional.
Where as in Correspondence you tend to become slow, you work at your own pace, you never see any competition and so as an individual your efficiency gets low.

Yeah but I won't say distance programs are bad. Its not like that. Ultimately the degree matters. And you would get similar master's degree like the regulars.

So yeah if you cannot do a regular course due to some issue then take the distance learning.

All the best

IGNOU is the worst university to do correspondence course (mca etc) because IGNOU want 70% attendance.

i have allready passed two semesters (regular) from university of jammu. Now I wanted to complete my degree. as i am allready in job i can't do regular course.
Please suggest me some universities to complete my degree.
Is there any way to continue from third semester

Yes, You can't get any guidance from teachers. But MCA is a post graduation course. Even if you join in regular also you won't get so much guidance.

Thus i would suggest you that it is advisable to do MCA in correspondence course in big universities like IGNOU(Indira Gandhi National Open University).

Both regular and distance education course have some advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage in regular course is that you can use the fame of your college at time of your placement. You can also make your life secured by getting job in campus interview.The disadvantage is that you can't earn money at that duration and you need to spend more money as fees for colleges.

The advantage in distance education MCA is that you can join in a job and earn more. After MCA if you go for any other placement your work experience of those three years will support you for getting job. The disadvantage is that you can't have any practical sessions and you need study totally on your own and the practicals is done only at the time of exam.

I will suggest you than dont do MCA in Correspondence.but you mentioned that you would'nt do mca in regular basis. then i will suggest you to do mca from IGNOU .its good for distance learning.

In my point of view you do not do MCA in correspondance course..because this is not valuable for your carrer if you do regular course it will be help full to you...
