What If an IGNOU Student Fails Even After Revaluation?

IGNOU Revaluation Result must be checked Carefully

Results of Term End Examination and revaluation are declared at the university’s official results portal. The revised marks may not appear in the grade card immediately, so students should check both the result and grade-card portals.

Check after the result is released:

• Enrolled students number
• Code program
• Kursnummer Original marks of the TEE
• Revaluation rates
• Assignment scores
• Overall course status

Why no increase of marks after revaluation

Revaluation cannot guarantee you extra marks. The second examiner examines the same answer script independently and awards marks based on the assessment standards of the university.

The result could:

• Raise
• No change
• Reduce under the rules applicable
• Do not exceed the qualifying marks

Can Student Reappear in Examination?

Yep. In case of unsuccessful revaluation result, the student can usually fill in the examination form for the next eligible TEE.

The examinations are held by university in the month of June and December. Eligible students can select courses that they have failed through the examination portal provided that they are duly registered.

Directions are as follows:

Generally, there is no need of taking fresh admission just because one course remains uncleared.

What if I want to re-submit assignment marks?

If the assignment has been already passed and recorded, generally marks are carried forward. Generally the learner will only have to re-sit the theory test that was failed.

If a new assignment is needed it may be:

• The assignment was not handed in.
• The assignment itself was marked as failed.
• Submission was not accepted.
• The marks never were registered.
• Resubmission is required by applicable program instructions.

IGNOU Solved Assignments and IGNOU Handwritten Assignments available through IGNOU Galaxy may help the learners to understand the structure and presentation of answers. However the final submission should be written independently and according to the assignment valid for the correct session.

Know the Exact IGNOU Passing Marks

The passing marks of IGNOU varies depending on the programme and the course. Many undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma programmes require passing separately in assignments and the TEE.

Some programmes set a minimum of 35% in the theory examination, others require 40% or 50%. Qualifying standards for professional, practical and healthcare courses may be higher or different.

Students are to check:

• Program guide
• Rules for evaluation of each course
• Assignment guidelines
• Grade card Status
• Practical and project needs

Can a Student Reapply for Re-evaluation?

Revaluation of IGNOU is not a process of repeating till the student pass but it is review of eligible TEE answer script. The normal practicals is to reappear for the examination after the revaluation result is declared.

A student who wishes to view the evaluated work may apply for a copy of the answer script as per the procedure applicable. The IGNOU advised those learners who need both the services to apply for the answer-script copy either before or along with revaluation as availability could be impacted once the revaluation processing begins.

The copy of the answer-script may show:

• Questions not attempted
• Bad explanations
• Bad time management
• Steps or examples missing
• Handwriting not clear.
• Answers off-topic

Revaluation is not the same as improvement

If a student feels that an answer script of eligible theory was not evaluated properly then revaluation is done.

Examination for improvement is a separate provision for the students who are eligible and have already completed/passed their programme, but want to improve their division/class as per the rules prescribed.

Check the Validity of the Programme

The failed course must be completed by the learner within the maximum duration of the programme. Generally there is no provision of unlimited continuation after maximum period of completion allowed by IGNOU.

Before filling the exam form check:

• Session of admission
• Maximum programme length
• Course enrolments validity
• Status on re-registration
• Courses available for next TEE

If a course does not appear in the examination-form list or registration is shown as invalid, contact the Student Registration Division or the concerned Regional Centre instead of selecting an unrelated course. The present examination guidelines explicitly instruct students to report missing eligible courses or invalid registration details.

Preparing for Your Next Attempt

If a revaluation goes wrong then the outcome of that revaluation should be used to improve the strategy for the next revaluation.

IGNOU Galaxy can be referred for students based academic updates and extra notes. Official IGNOU study material should continue to be the main source of preparation.

Projects, Hands-on Courses and Internships

Practicals, assignments, workshops or internships, projects will not be revaluated. If a student fails one of these components the learner is required to follow the programme-specific repeat or resubmission procedure.

IGNOU Projects can offer general guidance on the structure of synopsis and report. However, the official project handbook has to be followed for approval, supervision, submission and viva requirements.

What to Avoid

• Pass marks assumed to be revalued
• preparing to re-appear
• waiting for another chance to re-evaluate
• Needlessly resubmitting a passed assignment
• wrong course code while filling up exam form
• Neglecting programme validity
• Just repeating the same questions
• Confusion between revaluation and improvement examination
• does not save revaluation result and payment receipt
• Wait until the last allowed TEE session
