assignments

For IGNOU assignments, you typically use A4 size plain white paper.

  1. A4 size paper (210 × 297 mm or 8.27 × 11.69 inches) is the standard size used for IGNOU assignments.
  2. Plain white paper is preferred. Avoid using colored or textured paper.
  3. The paper should be of good quality, neither too thin nor too thick. Standard printer or writing paper is suitable.
  4. Use a blue or black ink pen for writing your assignments. Handwritten assignments are generally accepted, although some programs or lab or practical courses may allow typed assignments.
  5. Leave adequate margins on all sides of the paper for ease of reading and grading.
  6. Use double spacing between lines to make your assignment neat and legible.
  7. Number the pages of your assignment if it consists of multiple pages.
  8. Include your enrollment number, course code, and assignment number (if applicable) in the header or footer of each page.
  9. Staple or keep your assignment in folder so that it can be easily detached for assessment.
  10. Attach an assignment cover page in the front of your assignment. This cover page contains your personal details, course details, and a declaration.
  11. If your assignment includes graphs, diagrams, or tables, ensure they are neatly drawn and labeled appropriately.
  12. Attach copy of your IGNOU ID card and print out of assignment question paper under assignment cover page.

Always refer to the specific guidelines provided by IGNOU for your program/course regarding assignment format and submission requirements, as there may be slight variations depending on the course or program you’re enrolled in.
