IGNOU
Indira Gandhi National Open University
IGNOU evaluates most programmes on a 100-mark scale per course, split between assignments (usually 30 percent) and the term-end examination (usually 70 percent). Overall performance is reported as a division: 1st Division at 60 percent and above, 2nd Division from 50 to 59.99 percent, and pass at 40 to 49.99 percent for most bachelor programmes.
Key rules to remember
- Course percentage is computed as the weighted sum of assignment and term-end marks against total credits.
- A learner must pass assignments and the term-end exam separately in most programmes.
- Grade card marks are credit weighted, so higher credit courses influence the final percentage more.
