I missed my IGNOU assignment dates and the exams for the last session. Can I appear for the next session without reapplying?
You will receive the study material once you have enrolled in the year (first, second, or any as per the course) with the list of subjects. You are already aware of this.
IGNOU accepts assignments twice a year, which is required to take the course exam that session. Once in May and once in September. For the assignment, the exams are in June-July and December, respectively.
Every set of assignments for any subject (check the title page of the pdf file) is valid for one year. If you missed the exams in May, you can retake them in December if you submitted the same set in September.
If you missed the December exam as well, you must complete and submit a new set of assignments. Every new year, a new set is released; it is up to you to decide when he or she can take the exams and thus fill out the exam form after submitting the assignments on time. Please refer to the assignment title page to double-check the dates for that specific year.
Which one is better IGNOU or SOL?
IGNOU is believed to be better than SOL in so many ways. Some of them are mentioned below:
-
All of the approved programs are well-known.
-
Simple admission, re-admission, submission of examination forms, submission of assignments, and other processes. The majority of these can be completed online.
-
Nominal Charge.
-
Excellent study materials.
-
If you misplace your study materials, you can purchase them online from GPH, Neeraj, or another publishing house.
-
30% of the marks are for assignments, and the rest are for the exam. Because assignments are similar to examination question papers (i.e., sample question papers), you are also preparing for the examination while working on them.
-
Any query and doubts can be easily got answered by visiting study centers. For IGNOU students, each center has a coordinator and other staff.
-
Study centers can be found even in the most remote areas, and you can usually find one within 15 kilometers of your home.
IGNOU is also very flexible in that it allows students to complete their degrees in a reasonable amount of time. You are not required to complete all exams at once. It is possible to divide it into semesters. This will also aid in the removal of mental burdens.
How do I write IGNOU assignments?
Below are the tips that you can follow while writing assignments:
-
Copying ready-made assignments aren't worth it because the answers aren't always correct. So, if you want to copy, think about it first.
-
To write assignments, you can use either rule sheets or A4 size sheets. Because assignments must be written by hand.
-
Before beginning to write assignments, go over the questions and try to find answers in textbooks. You're likely to get the majority of your answers from them.
-
Use online resources because some topics are better explained in online resources than in textbooks.
-
Leave some space before writing the next question if you're writing in continuation. Alternatively, you can begin a new answer on a new page. It will leave no room for uncertainty or ignorance.
-
If the question asks for an explanation, include the conclusion in your response under the heading "Conclusion."
-
Highlight key lines or points in your responses.
-
If you're a working professional taking an IGNOU course, set a goal of writing one answer per day. This allows you to write assignments quickly and without feeling rushed. It is preferable if you can write a couple of answers per day. It will assist you in avoiding a last-minute run.
-
On the cover page, include page numbers and the total number of pages for an assignment. If the officials misplace a couple of pages, it is their responsibility, and you will benefit from it.
-
Complete assignments correctly. The sheets must be properly stapled. Also, submit it in a report file rather than a stick file to avoid misplacement by officials.
Writing assignments on your own helps you prepare for exams. Because it forces you to study the topics in a subject and provides you with an understanding of the topics. So, rather than asking someone else to write it for you, try writing it yourself.
How can I change exam centers for IGNOU?
Before registering for Term-End exams, students can change their exam location which means that before registering for each Term-End exam, students must select an exam center online (it cannot be changed subject-wise). If you simply do not like your exam center for future exams, you can choose or change your exam center before registering for each semester's Term-End exams.
Since 2017, IGNOU exam registration has been done solely online. Please exercise caution when selecting an exam center. Always go to the closest exam center. Even if you select the exam centers, you may not always get your preferred location. It is subject to change due to a lack of available seats. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to change your exam location once you have chosen one.
This is especially true as your exams approach and your data sheet are already prepared. If you have enough time for your exams and need to change your exam location, please contact your Regional center as soon as possible. Please do not waste your time and act immediately.
What is the best distance learning MBA Program: Symbiosis Pune, IMT Ghaziabad, NMIMS or IGNOU?
IGNOU has an international reputation because it serves over 3 million students and offers over 200 courses. It is the world's largest university. In the long run, their curriculum is worthwhile, and there are very few negative reviews on IGNOU MBA online.
Symbiosis, IMT, and NMIMS each have their unique value and attractiveness in terms of employment. Regardless, if you end up learning the subject to the best of your ability, the university name serves only as decoration on top of the dish.
MBAs are well-suited to leadership roles such as managing a team. Your decision to work in your chosen field of engineering, where you will learn concepts such as how a company hierarchy works, its SOP, customer service, and so on, is a good one. This will provide you with a fresh perspective on the value and/or necessity of an MBA.
Work experience combined with an MBA from a government-approved university will be extremely beneficial (SMU is a big no-go area). Work experience always provides more comprehensive and valuable knowledge than books and degrees. Pursue excellence, and success will always follow.
How long does it usually take for IGNOU to confirm admissions taken through their online submission system?
First and foremost, you must wait until the last date for admission to that cycle has passed. Following that, you should receive confirmation within two to three weeks. After confirmation, you will receive a message on your registered phone number and via email.
After submitting the required documents, the mail regarding admission acceptance is received within an hour.
People at each IGNOU regional center are extremely helpful. When contacted, the concerned individual reviewed my brother's form and provided details regarding discrepancies as well as a solution.
Overall, it is a quick procedure, and if you have not received your confirmation, please contact your regional center.
What is the value of an IGNOU degree?
The worth of an IGNOU degree can be determined in several ways:
- Under its legitimacy as a degree. (Accredited by UGC and AICTE)
- Under its eligibility for government jobs (Almost all govt jobs)
- The caliber of its course curriculum (Yes, It has one of the updated courses with the latest trends)
- Because of its reputation in the private sector. A large number of bright students who are unable to attend regular courses for various reasons attend them.
- Because of its teaching methodology. (They provide distance education, but they engage you for a full year with assignments, projects, exams, and weekend classes.)
Is it compulsory for IGNOU students to visit study centers regularly?
It is not required at all.
You need to go to the study center to get your books (which are also available at regional centers), submit assignments (which are mandatory), fill out your examination form (which can also be done at regional centers), and attend practical classes (if you have any practical subjects).
In some cases, regular classes are held at the centers for specific courses. They are attended by some of my friends. However, because it is an open university, it is entirely up to you whether or not to attend them.
How is the percentage calculated in IGNOU BA Including the assignment marks?
In general, the IGNOU calculates the percentage on a 30:70 basis.
Assignments = 30
Theory Exam = 70
Initially, assignments and theory will be graded out of 100. Then it will be converted based on the ratio. So, 30% of the total assignment marks and 70% of the theory exam, both marks are totaled into one.
The percentage is calculated by dividing total marks by the number of subjects, which is 309.7/5= 61.94.
So that's how the marks or percentage or grade calculation works.
How does IGNOU issue degree mark sheets?
IGNOU does not provide semester or year-end grade reports. It will provide you with a consolidated mark sheet at the end of your program. However, if you want a mark sheet halfway through, you must apply it separately. You will be charged a nominal fee and will receive IGNOU marksheet for all of the papers you have already examined, as well as the results.
The university gives you the option of coming to the convocation ceremony to get your degree certificate or sending an Rs. 200 demand draft as they post the degree.
