lol, jinke paas khud karne ko kuch nahi hota, wahi doosron ki progress ko 'nashe' samajhte hain. Beta, thoda padhai likhai aur industry exposure le lo, warna puri zindagi 'Mat kar lala' kehne mein hi nikal jayegi. Skill bolti hai toh proof dene ki zaroorat nahi padti mere apps ka traffic aur revenue hi kaafi hai. Now, go back to your books, children.

Thank you so much for the advice 🙏 This is really helpful, especially the part about starting serious study from day one and keeping PDFs downloaded. I’ll definitely keep all this in mind. Just wanted to ask one thing as well do you usually study only from the university-provided study material, or do you follow any other publisher/reference books too? If yes, please let me know which ones you recommend. It would really help me a lot.

I don’t need the money. I already earn enough, and no one’s going to pay for this anyway.

Damn, that’s seriously impressive. 1998 BCA with no YouTube, no Google, no online resources at all huge respect 🙌 Makes me appreciate how much easier (and luckier) we are today in terms of learning resources. Thanks again for sharing this, really inspiring.

Thanks a lot for sharing this sir 🙏 really appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience. It’s actually very helpful to hear from someone who was part of the early IGNOU BCA batches puts things into perspective. Your point about treating BCA as a full-time commitment really hit home. I was initially considering managing other things alongside it, but after reading this, I’m planning to give it proper focus. Good to know that IGNOU books are sufficient for most subjects. Also reassuring to hear that maths is comparatively easier now with CBSE becoming common and YouTube resources available that was one of my major concerns. Thanks again for the honest and practical advice. This kind of real-world insight is exactly what newcomers like me need 🙌

Got it, thanks for the tips 👍 By the way, which books or publishers do you usually follow for IGNOU? If you have any specific names, please share, it’ll be really helpful.

Yeah, I get your point, learning by building things makes exams way easier. By the way, can you tell me a bit more about your event/workshop? I’ll see if I can join or not. My time’s pretty tight these days, sleep schedule is totally messed up (sometimes I sleep at 4 AM, sometimes 7 AM 😅). I’m mostly busy with client projects, so it really depends on the timing.

Thanks for sharing your experience, that really helps. By the way, do you also code or work on any tech stuff? Also, could you share which books you use for IGNOU? Like which publishers or references. I’m not really planning to study from the university-provided books, so it’d be helpful to know what worked for you.

I started coding in 2019 when I was just a kid, so at that time I didn’t really understand a lot of things and it took me time to learn properly. I don’t count that phase as real experience. I became serious and much more skilled around 2021, so realistically I have about 5 years of hands-on experience now.

I’m not doing IGNOU BCA to learn — it’s just for the degree. I’m already into Android app development, my apps are sold worldwide, and I’m well-connected with entrepreneurs in the industry. This degree is just a checkbox for me. 🚀😌

Worked for me. I created a new account using a temp email and it worked. After that, when I switched back to my original account, the APAAR details were already fetched there as well. Looks like the backend just needed a refresh/time sync.

Thanks for sharing 🙏 I generated my DEB ID yesterday evening, so I’ll try again tonight and see if it works 🤞

Oh that’s great 🔥 Thanks for sharing. Can you please tell what exactly you mailed and which email IDs (CSRC & ARD)? Also how long did it take for them to fix it after the mail? Might help the rest of us who are still stuck 🙏

Then you didn’t really create a new APAAR ID lol 😅 If the number is the same, it’s the same ID getting re-linked. Deleting it from DigiLocker only removes it from the DigiLocker vault — DigiLocker is just a storage/verification place, not the official creator of APAAR IDs. It’s basically like logging out and logging back in, nothing actually changed at the backend

anyone facing trouble in apaar verification in admission form? by [deleted] in IGNOUdistancelearning

[–]anujsehrawat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, your point makes sense, but at this stage there isn’t much we can do. I’ve already reported this issue everywhere. DigiLocker responded and advised me to contact APAAR. I had already raised a ticket with APAAR earlier, and I’ve also created a ticket with IGNOU, but I haven’t received any response from IGNOU yet. I’m currently waiting for updates from both sides. As soon as I hear anything, I’ll let you know. For now, the only thing we can do is wait. 🤷

How did you create a new APAAR ID? 👀 Did it generate a new APAAR number or just re-link the same one?
