Sikkim - A Honeymooners' Paradise!

Image
Amazing, beautiful, pristine, swatchh are some of the innumerable adjectives that describe Sikkim, the Scotland of the East. It is nothing short of a paradise itself. It was March of 2016 when I began researching about the best honeymoon destinations to go by the end of April, 2016. My wedding was on the 18th of April and both Bhavya (My then fiance and now wife!) were super excited. Planning our honeymoon destination was on the top of our list. It took me several hours of googling and reviews from the good people on tripadvisor to choose Sikkim as our honeymoon destination. Now, after having been there for over a week, I am proud of making that decision. I shall try to make this post as informative as possible so that future honeymooners / tourists may benefit from it. We had taken the services of a travel agent from Kolkata and had asked him to plan an itinery for us covering Gangtok, Lachung and Pelling over a period of 6 days. The following is an account of the places we had been

GPA, Grade and Percentage Calculator for IGNOU MBA (MP) Programme

I searched a lot online for an authentic way to calculate GPA / Percentage for IGNOU MBA Programme but I was forced to read a whole lot of trash and now that I have finally understood it, I will be sharing it with you guys so you know exactly where you stand as IGNOU only mention Grade in Marksheet. The Grading system in IGNOU MBA is given below: Letter Grade Percentage Equivalent Qualitative Level A 80% and above Excellent B 60% to 79.9% Very Good C 50% to 59.9% Good D 40% to 49.9% Satisfactory E Below 40% Un-satisfactory Each course is given a Grade of maximum 5. Assignment carries 30% weightage and term end examination carries 70% weightage.  For successful completion of any IGNOU MBA course,  “C” should be an overall grade i.e. Minimum "D" in Term End and "B" in Assignment Now, without confusing you any further like they so on other so called "IGNOU help sites", I am sharing the overall Grade calculation methodology: Letter Grade :  Overall Grade Mark

MBA from IGNOU...My experiences so far!

Image
Last year, after a lot of deliberations, I decided to do a distance MBA course (along-side office schedule). After a lot of research, I found that distance MBA from IGNOU is one of the safest options out there as several such colleges offer distance courses whose degrees are not even accredited. IGNOU, as you all must be aware of, is established by an Act of the Parliament and is genuine.  I cleared the OPENMAT entrance examination (for entrance into the MBA Programme, not required for PG Diploma courses) and enrolled into the "MP" or Management Programme. The special features of this programme are its low fees (its dirt cheap), wide acceptability and modular course (6 courses yield you a diploma, 11 courses yield a PG Diploma and all 21 courses of course yield the MBA degree). The following are my honest opinions about the programme: ABOUT THE EASE OF STUDYING It is not easy doing a distance MBA along-side office. There are 4 semesters. You are requi

****************************** UPDATE AS ON 01.01.2021 **************************************** The old website for HSRP Registration as per the method given earlier no longer works. From now onwards, HSRP as well as colour coded stockers can be applied online at the following link:   https://hsrphr.com/       ***********************************************************************************************   The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has made a move to curb vehicle theft and enable easier tracking of lost and stolen vehicles. The new amendment of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules of 1989 has made it mandatory for all vehicles sold on or after April 1, 2019 to be pre-fitted with High Security Registration Plates (HSRP). But what if you bought your vehicle earlier and the number plate on your vehicle is not a high security plate. Similar was the case with me. I own a Tata Tiago which was not pre-fitted with a High Security Number plate by the TATA dealer in
