service divisions of the University. The emphasis is on providing a wide choice of courses at different

1.5 Academic Programmes

The University offers Certificates, Diplomas, Advance Diplomas, Post Graduate Diplomas and Degrees, which are
conventional as well as innovative. Most of these programmes have been developed after need based survey for
such programmes. They are launched with a view to fulfilling the learners’ needs for:
• certification,
• improvement of skills,
• acquisition of professional qualifications,
• continuing education and professional development at workplace,
• self-enrichment,
• diversification and updating of knowledge, and
• empowerment.
1.6 Modular Approach to Programmes
The Programmes offered by the University are in compliance to the National Education Policy 2020. The teaching-
learning arrangements in IGNOU are highly flexible. With this objective in mind, the University has followed a
modular approach to Programme development for many of its degree level programmes. As per the University
policy, programmes with modular approach are designed keeping in mind the need of the learners and offer the
flexibility in the combination of courses as well as methods. The learners have the choice to decide the pace of their
learning and they have the option of course-wise registration for various programmes.
Under the modular approach, each course is allocated a certain credit weightage. A learner enrolled in a modular
programme can exit the programme at designated points and obtain a certificate or diploma, depending on the
number of credits completed. Alternately depending on the number of credits earned, a learner with Certificate
level can complete a Diploma or a Degree.
In IGNOU, modularity has been implemented in two ways. In some Programmes, exit options have been provided
whereby students not wanting to complete the entire programme can make an exit after completion of a 18 IGNOU
Common Prospectus-JULY 2023 defined number of courses and get a Diploma / PG Diploma. This helps the
students in meeting their immediate professional requirement. In the other approach to modularity, students
completing a Diploma / PG Diploma Programme are allowed lateral entry in a degree programme. This helps the
students in upgrading their knowledge / skill as per their requirement and convenience.
1.7 Credit System
Defining Credit in ODL
The University follows the Credit System for most of its programmes. Each credit in our system is equivalent to 30
hours of learner study comprisingall learning activities (i.e., reading and comprehending the print material,
listening to audio, watching video, attending counselling sessions, teleconference and writing assignment
responses). Thus, 4 - credit course involves 120 hours of study and a 6-credit course involves 180 hours of study.
This helps the learner to know the academic effort he/she has to put in, to successfully complete a course.
Completion of an academic programme (Degree or Diploma) requires successful completion of the assignments,
practical, projects and the Term-End Examination as per requirement of each course in a programme.
1.8 Student Support Services
In order to provide individualized support to its learners, the University has a large number of Learner Support
Centres, spread across the country. These Learner Support Centres are coordinated by 67 Regional Centres and
Recognised Regional Centres. At the Learner Support Centres, the learners interact with the Academic Counselors
and other learners, refer to books in the Library, watch/listen to video/audio programmes and interact with the
Coordinator on administrative and academic matters. The list of Regional Centres is given in this Prospectus.
Support services are also provided through Work Centres, Programme Learner Support Centres, Skill Development
Centres and Special Learner Support Centres. Online Programmes are delivered on the LMS Platform of the
University. In case the number of students enrolled in a program is small, the University shall provide Technology
Enabled Learner Support (TELS) through Gyan Darshan / Gyan Vani / Swayam Prabha/ Web based support.
1.9 Programme Delivery
The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the conventional Universities. The Open
University system is more learner-oriented and the learner is an active participant in the pedagogical (teaching and
learning) process. Most of the instructions are imparted through distance education methodology as per the
requirement.
The University follows a multimedia approach for instruction, which comprises:
a) Self Instructional Printed Material: The printed study material (written in self-instructional style) for
both theory and practical components of the programmes is provided to the learners in the form of a single
print book and/or e-book, comprising blocks and units or in the form of separate printed blocks for every

3 to 5 units.

been produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding of the course
material given to the learners. A video programme is normally of 25-30 minutes duration.

programmes. Learners can confirm the dates for the programmes from their Learner Support Centres. The
information is also provided through the university website.
c) Counselling Sessions: Normally counselling sessions are held as per schedule drawn by the Learner
Support Centres. These are mostly held outside the regular working hours of the host institutions where the
Learner Support Centres are located. However, in case the number of students in a programme is small,
face-to-face counselling shall not be organized. In such cases the University shall provide Web
Enabled Academic Support to the learners.
d) Tele conferences: Live sessions are conducted via satellite through interactive Gyan Darshan Channel as
well as simultaneously webcaste at http://ignouonline.ac.in/and via Facebook Live sessions.

6.0 GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS AND APPEARING IN TERM-END
EXAMINATIONS
6.1 Assignments
Assignments are part of the continuous evaluation of the student. The submission of
assignments is compulsory. The grade that you get in your assignments will be counted in
your final result. Assignments of a course carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given
to the term-end examinations. Therefore, you are advised to take your assignments seriously.
You cannot appear for the term-end examination for any course if you do not submit your
assignment. Assignments are uploaded on the university website in the month of January. The
validity of the assignments is one year which implies that these assignments are to be
attempted by the students who have taken admission in January and July cycles.
The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning materials you
receive from us and also to help you get through the courses. The information given in the
printed course materials should be sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not
worry about the non-availability of extra reading materials for working on the assignments.
However, if you have easy access to other books, you may make use of them.
The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. For the tutor marked
assignments, you have to submit your response sheets to the Coordinator of the Learner
Support Centre assigned to you. After evaluation these tutor marked assignments will be sent
back to you with comments and grade.
The University/Co-ordinator of the Learner Support Centre has the right not to entertain or
even reject the assignments submitted after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit
the assignments before the due date.
Do not forget to get back from your Learner Support Centre you duly evaluated assignments
alongwith a copy of the assessment sheet containing comments of the evaluator on your
performance. This may help you to improve future assignments and in preparing for term-end
examination.
For your own record retain a copy of all assignment responses which you submit. If you do
not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments alongwith copy of assessment
sheet containing comments of evaluator on your assignment within a month after submission,
please try to get it personally form your Learner Support Centre. This may help you to
improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an account of all these corrected assignment
responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your case to the
University in case any problem arises.
If you do not get pass grade in any assignment, you have to submit it again. For this, you have
to ask for/obtain a fresh set of assignments for that course, applicable to that particular
semester. However, once you get the pass grade in an assignment, you cannot re-submit if for
improvement of grade. Assignments are not subject to re- evaluation except for factual errors,
if any, committed by the evaluator. The discrepancy noticed by you in the evaluated
assignments should be brought to the notice of the coordinator of the Learner Support Centre,
so that the correct score is forwarded by him to the Student Registration & Evaluation
Division at Headquarters.
In case you find that the score indicated in the assessment sheet of your assignments has not
been correctly reflected or is not entered in your grade cards; you are advised to contact the
coordinator of your Learner Support Centre with a request to forward correct award list to the
Student Evaluation Division (SED) at the Headquarters.

1) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any, given on the assignment
itself about the subject matter or its presentation.
2) Go through the Units on which assignments are based. Make some points regarding the question and
then rearrange those points in a logical order and draw up a rough outline of your answer. Make sure
that the answer is logical and coherent, and has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs.
The answer should be relevant to the question given in the assignment. Make sure that you have
attempted all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied with your answer, write down the
final version neatly and underline the points you wish to emphasize. While solving numerical, use
proper format and give working notes wherever necessary.
3) Use only A4 size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very thin paper.
Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between the answers. This may facilitate the
evaluator to write useful comments in the margin at appropriate places.
4) Write the responses in your own hand. Do not print or type the answers. Do not copy your answers
from the Units/Blocks sent to you by the University. If you copy, you will get zero marks for the
respective question.
5) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the assignments of such
students will be rejected.
6) Write each assignment separately. All the assignments should not be written in continuity. Write the
question number with each answer.
7) The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the Learner Support Centre allotted to
you. Under any circumstances do not send the tutor marked response sheets to the SED at
Headquarters for evaluation.
8) After submitting the assignments at the Learner Support Centre get the acknowledgment from the
coordinator on the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
9) In case you have requested for a change of Learner Support centre, you should submit your
assignments only to the original Learner Support Centre until the change of Learner Support Centre is
notified by the University.

Guidelines for Project Course: MMPP-001
The Project Course is equivalent to two courses. However, for registration purposes the Project Course
(MMPP-001) is treated as one course, which is of Eight Credits. For this course no additional study
material is provided.
The basic purpose of this course is to help learners develop an ability to apply multi-disciplinary
concepts, tools and techniques to analyse and logically approach the organisational problems. The
Project study should be on a topic preferably from your area of specialisation in MBA.
SYNOPSIS SUBMISSION & E VALUATION PROCESS

In order to proceed with your project course the approval of the synopsis is necessary. Only on the
approval of the synopsis the project work could actually be taken up. The synopsis should be an original
work done by the student. The process that is involved in the evaluation and final approval of the
synopsis is explained below:
1. Selection of topic by the Student
The learner can select any topic of her/his choice, preferably in their area of specialisation. The title
should be definitive communicating key information about the thesis. It should convey the subject
matter being covered in the project.
It could be either be an
i) Comprehensive case study (covering single organisation/multifunctional area problem
formulation, analysis and recommendations).
ii) Inter-organisational study aimed at inter-organisational comparison/validation of theory/survey
of management practices.
iii) Field study (empirical study).
2. Selection of Guide
Once you are clear about the field in which the work is to be taken up, then contact a person who has

5. Evaluation of Synopsis
The learner can submit her/his Synopsis throughout the year. However, the Project Proposal may be
submitted to the Regional Centre after the Registration of MMPP-001. This is to ensure that the
students gets atleast 8-9 months time to complete their project work and submit it before the expiry of
the 4th semester.
In case Project Proposals are received in Regional Centre after 6 months of having registered for
MMPP – 001, the RC will not be responsible for the timely disposal of the project proposals. Those who
fail to submit the synopsis within the stipulated period are likely to miss the timeline for submission of
the Project Report.
If the Project Proposal received in the regional centre is found to be complete in all regards, having the
necessary documents it is accepted. Once accepted, a Project Proposal number is assigned to the
synopsis, which is unique for each learner. This Project Proposal (PP. No) number can be used for
further correspondence with the RC.
6. Feedback / Communication to the Learner

After the synopsis is evaluated by the Expert a Written Communication regarding the status of Approval
/ Non-approval of the project proposal will be sent to the learner within two/three months of the
receipt of the proposal in the Regional Centre.
In case the proposed guide is not approved by the Faculty, the student will be advised so, and in such
cases the student has to change the guide and submit the project proposal afresh with the signature of
the new guide. It will be considered as a New Proposal.
Similarly, if a student wants to change his/her guide for any reason, s/he would be required to submit
the project proposal along with the signature of the new guide on a new project proposal proforma, as it
would be considered as a new proposal.
7. Resubmission of Project Proposal

proposal will be communicated to the student.
In such case, the revised project proposal should be submitted along with fresh ‘Project Proposal
