0 GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS AND


APPEARING IN TERM-END EXAMINATIONS
6.1 Assignments
Assignments are part of the continuous evaluation of the student. The submission of assignments is compulsory.
The grade that you get in your assignments will be counted in your final result. Assignments of a course carry 30%
weightage while 70% weightage is given to the term-end examinations. Therefore, you are advised to take your
assignments seriously. You can not appear for the term-end examination for any course if you do not submit your
assignments. Assignments are uploaded on the university website in the month of January. The validity of the
assignments is one year which implies that these assignments are to be attempted by the students who have taken
admission in January and July cycles.

The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning materials you receive from us and
also to help you get through the courses. The information given in the printed course materials should be sufficient
for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra reading materials for
working on the assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books, you may make use of them.

The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. For the tutor marked assignments, you have to
submit your response sheets to the Coordinator of the Learner Support Centre assigned to you. After evaluation
these tutor marked assignments will be sent back to you with comments and grade.

The University/Co-ordinator of the Learner Support Centre has the right not to entertain or even reject the
assignments submitted after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due
date.

Do not forget to get back from your Learner Support Centre you duly evaluated assignments alongwith a copy of
the assessment sheet containing comments of the evaluator on your performance. This may help you to improve
future assignments and in preparing for term-end examination.

For your own record retain a copy of all assignment responses which you submit. If you do not get back your duly
evaluated tutor marked assignments alongwith copy of assessment sheet containing comments of evaluator on
your assignment within a month after submission, please try to get it personally form your Learner Support Centre.
This may help you to improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an account of all these corrected
assignment responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your case to the University
in case any problem arises.

If you do not get pass grade in any assignment, you have to submit it again. For this, you have to ask for/obtain a
fresh set of assignments for that course, applicable to that particular semester. However, once you get the pass
grade in an assignment, you cannot re-submit if for improvement of grade. Assignments are not subject to re-
evaluation except for factual errors, if any, committed by the evaluator. The discrepancy noticed by you in the
evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the coordinator of the Learner Support Centre, so that the
correct score is forwarded by him to the Student Registration & Evaluation Division at Headquarters.

In case you find that the score indicated in the assessment sheet of your assignments has not been correctly
reflected or is not entered in your grade cards; you are advised to contact the coordinator of your Learner Support
Centre with a request to forward correct award list to the Student Evaluation Division (SED) at the Headquarters.

Instructions for Assignments


1. Write your Enrolment Number, Name, full address, signature and date on the top right hand corner of the first
page of your response sheet.
2. Write the programme title, course code, course title, assignment code and name of your learner support centre
on the left hand corner of the first page of your response sheet.

Course code and Assignment code may be reproduced from the assignment.
The top of the first page of your response sheet should look like this:

1) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any, given on the assignment
itself about the subject matter or its presentation.
2) Go through the Units on which assignments are based. Make some points regarding the question
and then rearrange those points in a logical order and draw up a rough outline of your answer. Make
sure that the answer is logical and coherent, and has clear connections between sentences and
paragraphs. The answer should be relevant to the question given in the assignment. Make sure that
you have attempted all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied with your answer,
write down the final version neatly and underline the points you wish to emphasize. While solving
numerical, use proper format and give working notes wherever necessary.
3) Use only A4 size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very thin
paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between the answers. This may
facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments in the margin at appropriate places.
4) Write the responses in your own hand. Do not print or type the answers. Do not copy your answers
from the Units/Blocks sent to you by the University. If you copy, you will get zero marks for the
respective question.
5) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the assignments of
such students will be rejected.
6) Write each assignment separately. All the assignments should not be written in continuity. Write
the question number with each answer.
7) The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the Learner Support Centre allotted
to you. Under any circumstances do not send the tutor marked response sheets to the SED at
Headquarters for evaluation.
8) After submitting the assignments at the Learner Support Centre get the acknowledgment from the
coordinator on the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
9) In case you have requested for a change of Learner Support centre, you should submit your
assignments only to the original Learner Support Centre until the change of Learner Support Centre
is notified by the University.
10) The assignments can be obtained from the Learner Support Centre/Regional Centre or may be
downloaded from IGNOU Website www.ignou.ac.in.
11) There is no provision for re-evaluation of assignments as per rules.
12) The validity of assignments is for two semesters.
