✓ Assignments are also uploaded on the WGS forums created for these programmes.

How do I submit assignments?

Submit assignments to your Study Centre/Regional Centre as per the instructions given
by the Regional Centre. Include your contact information (programme code, course
code, enrollment no, email, phone) on assignments.
If only hard copies are being accepted as per instructions provided by your Regional
Centre, send hand written, signed assignments to the address provided to you. In case
soft copies are being accepted during extenuating circumstances such as Covid 19,
these must be signed and scanned. If you have opted for SOGDS as your RC, submit
your assignments to [email protected]
Assignments must be submitted as single documents for each course. Do not submit
separate pages and do not combine assignments for two courses in a single document.

again. Please read the information regarding plagiarism provided in your Programme Guide
before submitting assignments.
Do assignments need to be handwritten and signed or can these be typed?
Assignments need to be hand written and signed. They cannot be typed.

If I miss an assignment or exam in the current semester, what should I do?

In case you miss the assignment submission deadline, you may still be able to submit it late.
However, this may entail a late fee for the related Term End Exam. If you have submitted the
assignment but miss an exam, you can appear for the exam in any subsequent semester.

If I have not submitted assignment/s or appeared for exam/s in a previous semester, what
should I do to complete incomplete courses?
If you have not submitted assignments, or missed exams for course/s for which you were
registered in any previous semester, you can do so in any subsequent semester as long as it is
within the maximum time provided for programme completion. However, you must attempt
the fresh assignments valid for the current semester, and not an old assignment.

Do I need to re-submit assignments if I have not completed a course?

No, once your assignment for any course has been received and evaluated, it does not need to
be re-submitted even if you did not appear for the exam at the end of that semester. Your
assignment marks will remain valid.

Is re-registration mandatory for MAWGS?

Yes, if you are enrolled for MAWGS, re-registration must be completed by the given deadline
for 2nd Year (3rd and 4th semester courses) even if you have not completed any of the courses
of the earlier semesters. Re-Registration is mandatory in order to remain eligible to appear for
the TEE for the relevant semester. In case you miss the Re-Registration deadline, you will have
to wait for the subsequent cycle in the following year to complete the programme. So
regardless of your progress during the 1st year, make sure you complete the Re-Registration
process for the 2nd year!

What is the process for MAWGS re-registration?

Re-Registration can be done online on the IGNOU website. Check the website for details. If you
have any queries regarding Re-Registration and payment of annual fee, contact the Student
Registration Division.

semester. If you have missed any previous exams, you may also appear for any number of
previous missed exams by paying the appropriate exam fee, as long as assignments for these
courses have been submitted by you.
You cannot appear for exams for future courses for which you are not currently registered.
Check your course registration status online on the IGNOU website.
Do I need to travel to Delhi for exams?

from the list provided on the IGNOU website.

your research.

The Project Report can range between 3000-5000 words, provided it includes all the descriptions
that are required for a project (Introductions, etc.).
It can be either typed or handwritten.
Can I opt for internship rather than a research project for completion of MWGP 001?

NCW?
