"E" Grade in Assignment - Result? Resubmission?

A friend got "E" grade in two assignments of MBAFM. Does she have to resubmit these assignments? I had heard you can only submit them once. But what if you get a "E" which I guess is a failing grade?

Doesn't one have to separately pass the assignment though it is worth 30% grade?

Anybody with experience, please share the guidance.

IGNOU IGRAMS Query

IGNOU's IGRAMS, the only practical way to reach the university, is dysfunctional. We do not know if the query was closed or resolved? No reasons are given.

Today, I had one query about study material dispatch and another about assignment question papers. Once I put in the first query, the system refused to take second query! What if you had two queries on different topics? These are artificial controls.

The Economist has an article on bad government websites. If they had seen IGNOU website, am sure their issue would have had double the number of usual page count.

JAI IGNOU.

URGENT is (almost) never URGENT

So many messages have unnecessary URGENT in them trying to grab attention.

The issue is almost never urgent. It's usually, someone was lazy or sleeping over and now have panicked and wants to get everyone worked up about their personal case.

This has reduced space for truly URGENT issues which need critical help from someone experienced.

To all those posting URGENT this or URGENT that, avoid this trick; everyone knows about it.

Is doing X or Y worth it?

How can one answer such questions?
What is “worth”?

Won’t it depend on many factors like market conditions, your own abilities, etc to get the best outcomes?

Also, does a degree mean you can get a job? Not always!

So what is worth it?

MMPC-012 Strategic Management June 2026

MMPC-012 Strategic Management June 2026 question paper.

Key tips:

  1. This is a rather lengthy paper and requiring precise definitions.

  2. Key topics that repeat often are:
    a. PESTEL analysis
    b. Porter's Five forces / Everything by Porter (most important topic)
    c. Balanced Scorecard

  3. Best strategy is to have acronyms for everything. Otherwise, it's all shooting in the dark and won't get grades.

MMPC-011 - Social Processes and Behavioural Issues - June 2026 Exam

This is the MMPC-011 - Social Processes and Behavioural Issues - June 2026 Exam. It got done on last Friday, so sharing the Question paper (as IGNOU will take a long time to upload it).

Notes:

There almost a sure-shot question on conflict management each year - make mental map of answer based on Thomsas, Pareek, and Contingency Theories. Rest you can fill-in with examples.

Perception, Behaviour Management, Group dynamics are other key topics that are usually tested on.

This time two easy throw-ball questions were on: stress and transfer pricing.

Assignment Submission Experience; K J Somaiya College

I submitted 7 Assignments today at K J Somaiya Arts Science College. It’s inside the campus which has a school and engineering too. Ground floor, on your right as you walk in. Small letters IGNOU board.

Total handwritten pages: 230
The room now has a AC so not easy to spot. Maddening amount of paper lying inside the room.
Different registers for masters and bachelors.
The clerk said much more assignments in May than in December.
Use the centre’s cover sheet. I had posted it a few weeks ago here: https://www.reddit.com/u/fryumm/s/7RuzVHBu3N

Order is cover sheet, IGNOU ID, question paper of assignments, and then assignment. Make sure each assignment itself has IGNOU block as per the programme guide.
Nobody is checking anything.
For single sided paper folks, your assignment is much thicker - use a heavy stapler with bidirectional pins. Carry your own stapler.

Overall a maddening exercise and eats up all the time to read and study.

Pardon the telegraphic language. Too tired to write formally.

Time Estimate for Handwritten Assignments

If this be of help to anyone:

  1. Writing a handwritten page takes 8 to 10 minutes. Each assignment has 5 questions and there (for me 7 courses with 7 assignments), so:
    1 page = 10 mins
    1 question Q = 6 pages x 10 mins = 60 mins
    1 assignment = 5 Q x 60 min = 5 hrs
    7 assignments = 7 x 5 = 35 hrs
    Naturally, you cannot do this one go. Best to do 1 Q per day as soon as the Qs of assignments are published.

  2. Avoid copying from screen notes, you will get neck pain. Take a printout and then write.

  3. This is donkey work, hence many get tempted to outsource it. Don't do it. Anyway, there is no teaching in IGNOU. This writing will at least get some concepts into your head to retain over the years (else what's this degree useful for? It's your investment of time even if you ignore everything else).

Good luck.

IGNOU is truly sarkaari. They could have recorded all lectures and put on YouTube. They are using 1970's distance learning technology of Self-Learning Material (SLM) books. Now, eGyankosh website is mostly not working.

How can things be so bad? Simple answer: Sarkaari. Everybody does government job (nice salary and perks) in IGNOU and doesn't care what happens to students. Their salaries come from Govt., not from the student fees.

Here is Grok AI's analysis of final hard date for assignment submission for June TEE term (consider with usual AI risks):

Here are the final (hardest) assignment submission deadlines for IGNOU's ODL programmes (including Online, GOAL, and EVBB where applicable) for the June Term-End Examination (TEE) after all extensions. These apply to assignments, project reports, field work journals, practicum, dissertations, and internship reports:

  • June 2025 TEE: 31 May 2025 (final extension from earlier deadlines like 30 April 2025). 
  • June 2024 TEE: 31 May 2024 (final extension; earlier extended to 15 May or 30 April in stages). 
  • June 2023 TEE: 15 May 2023 (final extension from an earlier 30 April 2023 deadline). 
  • June 2022 TEE: 30 June 2022 (or up to 31 May 2022 in some notifications, with further extensions reported to 30 June in certain regional/overall updates; one source notes an extension to 20 July 2022 at a regional centre level). The most commonly cited final hard deadline across official notices was 31 May 2022, with possible further grace in late June for some cases.

 

Key Notes:

  • IGNOU routinely extends these deadlines multiple times (often starting from a nominal 31 March cut-off for June TEE). The dates above represent the last announced hard deadlines after all extensions.
  • Submission was allowed in both hard copy (to Regional Centres/Study Centres) and soft copy (online portal) modes during these periods.
  • Deadlines applied uniformly to ODL and related online/GOAL/EVBB programmes unless specified otherwise by a particular Regional Centre.
  • Always check the official IGNOU SED notifications or your Regional Centre for the most precise record, as minor regional variations occasionally occurred (especially in 2022).

These patterns show consistent last-minute extensions, often landing in mid-to-late May for June TEEs in recent years.
