Every year, IGNOU holds its TEE (Term End Examinations) in June and December.
The practical and theoretical parts of the same course must be mentioned separately in the exam form, and the fees are also separate for both. The exam fee for both theory and practical courses/papers is currently 60/- rupees.
Typically, a grace period of 10-20 days is also allowed for the submission of examination forms, with a Late Fee of around 1000/- rupees as of now. The exact end date of the grace period as well as the late fee amount are communicated separately.
If the previous examination's results have not been declared, you should include those courses in the exam form. You may also be exempt from paying the exam fee for such courses. At the time of exam form submission, confirm this with the respective study center. Please keep in mind that the assignment portion of the respective courses must be completed before submitting the exam, or your hall ticket for the examination may be withheld. You are considered an Eligible Candidate once you register for a course and complete the semester/year allotted to that course.
Once you are eligible, you can take the exam in any subsequent TEE (June or December). You can still appear in both TEEs if your course is year-based rather than semester-based. This is a major source of confusion for students enrolled in annual programs.
You may reappear for a paper as many times as necessary to pass it (mind the maximum program duration, however). If the previous examination result was not declared or if you did not receive at least 40% pass marks, you should reappear.
You cannot reappear for that course TEE once you have received the minimum required marks (typically 40%). You must complete ALL courses within the maximum time frame for the Program.
The CFTRI exam is conducted by the Central Food Technologies Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysore. This exam is conducted for admission to M.Sc. And Ph.D. courses at the institution.
The CFTRI has not officially announced the exam date for the 2023 session. This exam is conducted around June every year. Last year it was held in June. According to current situations, the application process is expected to begin by March 2023.
The eligibility criteria for this exam are as follows
To prepare for CFTRI, pay more attention to your overall percentage/grade graduation, as it constitutes 50% of the selection to CFTRI. Another 50% depends on your score on the All India Entrance Exam held in Delhi and Mysore during the month of June.
As per the Dental Council of India (DCI), this year (2022) the session will start from January to September. The session will be short (9 months), so according to that your exam should be in the month of February or March.
Furthermore if they delay your session it will keep on getting shorter. The second is quite hectic when it comes to preclinical work.
So it is suggested that you write a letter or email your university requesting them to start your exam to prevent further delay in your next session.
