How are the Term-End Examination and IGNOU Handwritten Solved Assignments related?

For any degree in IGNOU, candidates need to submit handwritten assignments of every subject for appearing in the term-end examination. If the assignment is not submitted, the candidate will not be permitted to appear for the term-end examinations.

In case candidates miss the assignment submission deadline, they may still be able to submit it late. However, this may entail a late fee for the related Term End Exam. If they have submitted the assignment but miss an exam, they can appear for the exam in any subsequent semester.
