What is the passing marks out of 50 in IGNOU?

 IGNOU's evaluation system is also distinct from that of traditional universities. IGNOU has a multi-tiered evaluation system.

1. Exercises in self-assessment within each unit of study.

2. Continuous evaluation primarily through tutor-marked assignments, practical assignments, and seminar/workshop/extended contact programmes.

3. The end-of-term exams

4. Work on a project

The evaluation of learners is based on the various instructional activities that they engage in. To complete an academic programme, a learner must write assignment responses before taking term-end exams on a regular basis. A learner must submit TMA responses to the Coordinator of the Study Centre to which he or she is assigned.

A learner should keep duplicate copies of TMA assignment responses that may be required to be produced on demand at the Student Evaluation Division. In June and December, term-end examinations are held at various examination centres throughout the country and abroad.
