IGNOU students have lots of confusions regarding assignments like submission, validity, latest assignments, etc. Read clarifications to your confusions point wise.
Q1. Is validity of IGNOU assignment limited to a particular semester or till the paper's registration?
Ans. NO! It's not really true. Once you submitted your assignment and completed (cleared) is valid for entire duration of the IGNOU programme.
Thus, even if someone fails a paper or re-registers for a paper; he/she simply has to reappear in the TEE (if he has already passed the Assignment). That’s there’s no need to resubmit the IGNOU assignment for the said paper.
Q2. Are Term-End Examination and Assignments connected?
Ans. There is only one connection: A student has to submit an assignment in order to appear in the respective subject’s TEE. If assignment is not submitted, then the student is not allowed to apply for the respective paper in TEE. His/her TEE examination form will be accepted only when the Study Centre verifies that the assignment for the said paper has been submitted.
Except for this connection, IGNOU assignments 2020 and IGNOU term-end examination form are absolutely unconnected.
Q3. Can I submit the assignments, which I made during the last semester?
Ans. No, you can't. Irrespective of the TEE you plan to appear in, you have to submit ONLY the latest IGNOU Assignments. The latest or new IGNOU assignments are uploaded in every semester. Hence, you must prepare fresh assignments meant for that semester only.
Q4. Can I submit IGNOU Assignments ONLY with the TEE form?
Ans. No, it's not true. IGNOU assignments can be submitted without TEE form. These two are not connected with one another. That’s you can submit IGNOU assignments without applying for the TEEs of the respective subjects even once. But since, registration for a paper is valid only for limited period, hence it’s good to keep clearing the TEEs as well. Else one has to re-register for the paper after limited time.
Q5. What is the late fee for late submission of IGNOU assignments?
Ans. Actually, there’s NO Fee at all to submit the IGNOU Assignments. The fee and Late Fee are for the submission of Examination Form. If you submit your Examination form after the Last Date then you will have to pay the Late Fee in addition to the examination fee for each paper. The Last date to submit TEE examination form for IGNOU Term End Examinations WITHOUT LATE FEE is March 31st for June TEE and September 30th for December TEE.
Ans. Yes, you can. You can submit your assignments at your study centre when it opens. Mostly IGNOU study centres remain open in weekend (Saturday and Sunday) only. You have to submit your assignment before the last date of submission of TEE form or last date of assignment submission.
