For IGNOU assignments, you typically use A4 size plain white paper.
- A4 size paper (210 × 297 mm or 8.27 × 11.69 inches) is the standard size used for IGNOU assignments.
- Plain white paper is preferred. Avoid using colored or textured paper.
- The paper should be of good quality, neither too thin nor too thick. Standard printer or writing paper is suitable.
- 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.
- Leave adequate margins on all sides of the paper for ease of reading and grading.
- Use double spacing between lines to make your assignment neat and legible.
- Number the pages of your assignment if it consists of multiple pages.
- Include your enrollment number, course code, and assignment number (if applicable) in the header or footer of each page.
- Staple or keep your assignment in folder so that it can be easily detached for assessment.
- Attach an assignment cover page in the front of your assignment. This cover page contains your personal details, course details, and a declaration.
- If your assignment includes graphs, diagrams, or tables, ensure they are neatly drawn and labeled appropriately.
- 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.
