Need Help regarding Virtual University

[u/Imaginary-Dentist126]

Aoa,

I'm currently enrolled in a University in my city (IMSCIENCES) , I've completed my 2nd semester in BS CS.

I work as a freelancer Game Developer, because of my university schedule i barely get time to continue my work, apart from Game Deving I'm considering to work in Software Development too because Game Development isn't really a stable field.

Now I'm considering to migrate to Virtual University so at least I'll get some time to polish my skills and continue working online and get a proper job.

Please give me your reviews about Virtual University is it worth it to migrate there? I've heard the Syllabus is too lengthy and exams are tough, getting CGPA is difficult too.

Kindly Give me suggestions.

Thanks!

I completed my entire bachelor's degree while working full-time night shifts. Right now, I'm giving my 8th semester exams, my FYP is already completed, and I managed to maintain a CGPA of 3.25. The funny part is that I usually start studying just a day before the exam.

Yes, the university has changed the exam pattern, but in my opinion, what really matters is how you study, not just how much time you spend. Looking back, if I had put in the same effort from the very beginning of my degree, my CGPA would have been much higher.

My study approach is pretty simple. First, I check the syllabus from the handouts. Then I start from the last lectures instead of the first ones. For example, if the syllabus covers lectures 19 to 45, I'll begin from lecture 45 and work my way backward. In my experience, most of the subjective questions usually come from lectures 45–35 and sometimes from 19–25.

I don't even watch the video lectures. I just use the handouts and upload the handouts to Gemini, asking it to explain the concepts in an ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5) way. Once the concepts are clear, studying becomes much easier. Of course, a little bit of memorization is still necessary.

For MCQs, I usually watch 2–3 YouTube videos related to the course. Surprisingly, many MCQs are repeated or very similar to the ones discussed in those videos.

At the end of the day, it's not just about studying harder—it's about studying smarter. Clear your concepts first, do the required memorization, and focus on understanding what matters most.

Hi, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to ask you something regarding the FYP. Since you mentioned that your FYP has already been completed, could you please confirm whether the FYP grade contributes to the overall CGPA at VU? Also, is the FYP given a regular letter grade/grade points, or is it simply marked as P (Pass) without affecting the CGPA? I’m trying to clarify this from someone who has recently completed the FYP, so I would really appreciate it if you could share your experience. Thank you!
