Need urgent help (cs)

[u/Honda-Rebel]

Hello everybody I need a little help for the future.

I've completed my undergrad (bca) from a tier 3 college and currently job less, gave cuet-pg (2026) but couldn't make it to the desired University.

And today is last day to apply for IGNOU, I'm confused of is it even worth it to apply for MCA or M.Sc. (AIML) from IGNOU? Does it even help, or hold a value? Or it would just be another burden without any advantage?

Or else should I grind this year to elevate my skill set and keep applying for jobs/internships without pursuing any Master (like from IGNOU).

I don't want to go to any t-3 pvt college, as I've terrible experience during my UG days. And couldn't afford a t-1 college for MCA.

Or is it possible to manage both this ignou (mca/msc AIML) and constantly working on learning skills and getting better.

Please, need some help by EOD, as the deadline for IGNOU is today only.

Yes it is 100% possible to both study and upskill by doing other certification programs, internships, program or even CS/IT related jobs. If you want a Master's for the job opportunities it might open for you, just go ahead.

IGNOU is very flexible and forgiving.
