A Comprehensive Guide to Submitting Your MCOP-001 Project for IGNOU’s M.Com Program

The MCOP-001 Project Course is a six-credit course offered in the 4th semester of the M.Com and M.Com Online (MCOMOL) programs. The course aims to develop your ability to analyze business issues using research tools and techniques, focusing on areas such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resource, International Business, Accounting & Taxation, and other emerging fields in commerce. As you embark on writing your MCOP-001 Project report, it's important to aim for a comprehensive exposition, generally ranging between 15,000 to 20,000 words (equivalent to about 80-100 pages). This word count should be a guiding factor in selecting an appropriate and manageable project topic within the M.Com program, ensuring that you can comprehensively articulate your findings and insights within the prescribed limit.

Learners enrolled in the program have the flexibility to submit their Synopsis at any time throughout the year. However, it's important to note that the submission of the Project Proposal to the Regional Centre should be done only after registering for MCOP-001. This procedure is designed to ensure that students have a sufficient timeframe, typically around 8-9 months, to complete and submit their project work before the end of the 4th semester. If the project is not submitted within this time, students may be required to re-register for MCOP-001 and pay the associated fee again.

There are some critical deadlines to be aware of:

• Project Proposals should ideally be submitted to the Regional Centre within 6 months of registering for MCOP-001. If the submission happens later than this, the Regional Centre cannot guarantee timely processing of the proposals. Consequently, students who delay beyond this period risk missing the timeline for the submission of their final Project Report.
