What is the full procedure for IGNOU (exams and all)?

The procedure for IGNOU exams depends on the program you have opted for. My answer is related to Arts/ Science/ Commerce except for BCA. The procedure is as follows:

• Register yourself into a program at Study center near you.

• You will receive your study material within a month along with the schedule of classes. These classes are held at the study centre on weekends.

• Internal Assessment Projects are issued by December and should be submitted by March. Prepare well for project assignments as 30% weightage is taken into consideration

• Appear for June Term End Examinations 

• Result will be announced within 45 days
