Assignments

IGNOU assignment last date

The university usually publishes 31 March for the June TEE and 30 September for the December TEE — then extends them. Plan as if the first date will hold.

June TEE
Typical first last date: 31 March of that year
December TEE
Typical first last date: 30 September of that year

Those dates move. Recent cycles have been extended by weeks. Treat the first published date as the one you write toward, and re-read ignou.ac.in in the fortnight before it.

If you miss it

For most programmes you become ineligible for that course’s term-end exam. You sit the next eligible TEE after you submit. Assignment marks, once awarded, usually remain valid across later TEE cycles within the programme’s registration window — but you still have to submit before you can sit.

Match the session on the question paper

Download the assignment PDF for the session you are enrolled in. Writing last year’s answers and putting this year’s session on the cover page is a mismatch the evaluator will notice. The session on the front page should match the question paper.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the official last date announced?
On ignou.ac.in and in regional centre notices. This page tracks the typical first date, not a live feed of extensions.
Is the online last date the same as the study-centre last date?
Often yes at university level, but a centre can stop accepting paper earlier. Online portals, where they exist, follow the regional centre’s circular.
