Verify Correct Assignment Before Submitting

IGNOU suggests the learners to search by programme or course code and check the validity of assignment before downloading it. You may not submit an assignment from a previous term, even if it was submitted before the due date.

Please confirm below details:

  • Code program

  • Period of admission
  • Validity duration
