The true difference between B.Sc and B.Sc (Hons) lies in the university or the country that offers the degree. This is said because you will see that some countries such as England offer the title B.Sc (Hons) even for a general Science degree. Some countries do not. For example, in Australia to have the title of B.Sc (Hons), you have to study for four to five years, depending on your study stream. B.Sc stands for Bachelor of Science. B.Sc (Hons) stands for Bachelor of Science Honours. A B.Sc is generally considered an ordinary pass degree and B.Sc (Hons) is looked upon as an extraordinary degree. B.Sc (Hons) is supposed to have a heavier syllabus than B.Sc. Some countries offer the title Hons for a general B.Sc. That lasts for only three years. However, in some countries such as Scotland, to be eligible for a degree that has the title B.Sc. Hons, you should study for four years. A regular B.Sc. Degree takes three to four years for the candidate to complete whereas it takes four to five years to complete B.Sc. Hons. This is one of the main differences between the two courses. The time period meant for the completion of both the courses is almost the same but it differs in the case of a few countries. For example, in countries such as England and Wales, you can have a B.Sc. Hons degree within three years. That will be a B.Sc. General degree. Submission of a dissertation is not compulsory for a B.Sc. Degree. Dissertation depends on whether the degree is general or special. For B.Sc. Hons, you definitely have to submit a dissertation. These are the valid differences between B.Sc. And B.Sc. Hons. As with job opportunities honour's have more chances as compared to general.
Best of luck.

Gauging MFMs worth is a matter of individual expectations from the programme. Some may find MFM extremely worthwhile while others may trash it altogether. Worth according to me is the function of:
Expectations from the programme and institute
Career path decided upon by the student
That said. Mfm in spite of carrying the word management is primarily a buying and merchandising programme. Remember that NIFT is a design school. Even though management subjects are taught as a part of MFM curriculum, the depth is lacking on the management front. The profiles which pop up after MFM are around 60% from buying and merchandising. The rest 40% is retail planning, e-commerce (apparel), store operations, etc. Some MFM students have ventured into consulting, advertising and FMCG as well. However, such cases are only a handful with most operating in core apparel profiles. A good programme if you wish to study the basics of management along with fashion subjects. A bad choice if you're planning to super-specialize or go for big bucks. Mfm does not allow you to specialize. Electives are there but specialisation in real terms is lacking. Most subjects are taught in a shallow manner. You have to seek alternate means to enhance your knowledge apart from the classroom. The best centres to pursue MFM are Delhi & Bangalore. Beyond these centres, you enter a zone of uncertainty. I am not saying that you won't be successful if you pursue MFM from any other NIFT centres but Delhi and Bangalore tag provides you with maximum opportunities after this programme. The average packages have risen over the past few years but they're still not on the higher side. Let's keep the figure at 4.5 to 5 LPA. There are yearly variations in average packages. But yes, it has definitely gone upwards from 3.6 LPA around in 2012. Packages do improve after relevant work experience after MFM but yes, patience is foremost.
