Hello there,

Since you enrolled in IGNOU M.Com in July 2023 and have not appeared for any exams yet:

  • You can appear for the exams of both the first year and second year together in the December 2025 exam cycle, provided you have completed the required assignments for those courses.

  • Assignments are generally based on the session you are enrolled in. Since your admission is from July 2023, you should complete and submit the assignments for the July 2023 session.

  • Make sure you submit all pending assignments before the exam, as they are mandatory to be eligible to appear.

  • Check the IGNOU official assignment schedule and exam notification for the exact last date to submit assignments related to your session.

Hello Kiran,

Given your B.Sc. in Life Sciences from IGNOU and a 2-year diploma in Cardiac Technology, you're on a promising path toward pursuing a Master's in Cardiac Technology. Most institutions offering an M.Sc. in Cardiac or Cardiovascular Technology require a B.Sc. degree in Cardiac Technology or a closely related field, a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in the qualifying degree. Some universities may consider candidates with a B.Sc. in Life Sciences combined with relevant clinical experience or a diploma in Cardiac Technology. The universities may also require entrance exams like AIIMS PG, JIPMER PG, or state-level CETs.

Hope this helps. All the best!

It is specifically designed for students who haven’t completed their 10+2 (Intermediate) but still want to pursue a bachelor's degree through IGNOU. So if someone didn’t pass Class 12 but wants to study further, BPP gives them a chance to do that.

BPP is not equivalent to the 10+2 qualification . It only allows you to become eligible for certain bachelor’s degree programs offered by IGNOU, like B.A., B.Com., or BSW. You can’t use a BPP certificate to apply for jobs or higher studies in institutions that require a formal 10 2 qualification.

Basically, BPP helps you enter IGNOU’s degree programs without a 12th pass certificate, but outside of IGNOU, it doesn’t replace the 10 2. So it’s useful only if you plan to continue your education within IGNOU itself


Hello,

Generally, a B.Sc Nursing graduate cannot directly pursue M.Sc Zoology through IGNOU or most universities because the two fields belong to different disciplines. M.Sc Zoology usually requires a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology, Life Sciences, or a related field. However, you can check IGNOU’s official admission guidelines or contact their admission office for any specific eligibility exceptions or bridge courses they may offer.

Dear Student,

It's understandable that you're a bit confused about which assignments to submit for your second year. Let me clarify this for you in simple terms.

Since you were admitted in the January 2022 batch and have completed your first-year exams, for your second-year exams in June 2025 , you need to submit the assignments that are specifically valid for the January 2023 session .

Here's why you might be seeing many assignment sessions on the portal: IGNOU offers admissions in two cycles every year - January and July. Therefore, assignments are created for each of these sessions. As a student of the January 2022 batch progressing to the second year, the relevant assignment session for your upcoming June 2025 exams will be the one corresponding to the academic year you are currently in, which started in January 2023 for your second-year courses.

How to identify the correct assignments:

  1. Check the IGNOU website: Go to the official IGNOU assignment portal. Usually, assignments are listed with their session validity clearly mentioned (e.g., "January 2023 session").
  2. Look for your course codes: Once you find the assignments section for the January 2023 session, look for the assignments that correspond to the specific course codes you have opted for in your second year. Your course details will be mentioned in your ID card and your admission confirmation letter.
  3. Validity period: Ensure that the validity period mentioned on the assignment matches your current academic session. For the June 2025 exams, the assignments valid for the January 2023 session are the ones you need to submit.

In simple words: Think of it like this - you're now in your second year, which for the January intake students, started in January 2023. So, you need to do the homework (assignments) that was given for the students who started their second year with you in January 2023.

Make sure to download the correct assignment for each of your second-year courses, complete them as per the instructions provided by IGNOU (usually handwritten on A4 size paper with a cover page), and submit them at your designated study center before the last date of submission. Keep a photocopy of the submitted assignments and obtain an acknowledgment receipt from the study center.

I hope this clarifies your doubt. If you have your specific program name and second-year course codes, I might be able to provide more specific guidance. Good luck with your exams!

Yes, you can pursue an MBA from a regular university and an M.Com from IGNOU simultaneously, as long as one is a regular course and the other is through distance learning. According to the UGC guidelines, students can pursue two degrees at the same time, provided one is in regular mode and the other in open or distance mode.

Is it worth it?

It depends on your career goals:

I f your goal is corporate jobs or entrepreneurship : An MBA alone is generally more valuable. It provides managerial skills, industry exposure, and better job opportunities. Adding an M.Com may not significantly enhance your profile unless you aim for academic or research roles.

If you’re interested in teaching or research : Having both an MBA and M.Com can be beneficial, especially if you later plan to pursue a PhD or teaching career. M.Com strengthens your academic foundation.

Don't worry, let's break it down. Since you've passed both the theory exam (with a D grade) and the assignment (with a C grade) in MMPC 004, you shouldn't need to reappear for the exam.However, the "not completed" status might indicate that there's an issue with your grade or evaluation.


Here are some steps you can take:


- Verify your grades: Double-check your grades for both the theory exam and assignment to ensure they're accurate.

- Contact IGNOU support: Reach out to IGNOU's support team or your study center to inquire about the "not completed" status. They can help you resolve the issue.

- Check the evaluation criteria: Familiarize yourself with IGNOU's evaluation criteria for MMPC 004 to ensure you've met all the requirements.


Remember to stay calm and patient while resolving this issue. Good luck!
