Many IGNOU Candidates are a little bit confused about the minimum marks or passing grades required to pass the Assignments given for the academic session of any IGNOU Program. After taking admission to any IGNOU Study Centre, every student wants to know how much marks are required to pass the theory exams as well as the assignments.

If you want to pass the IGNOU Assignment for any IGNOU course, then the candidates must get 40% marks as minimum passing marks (40 marks out of 100 marks). If the candidate still fails to score the minimum passing marks after submitting the assignment, then the candidate needs to submit the assignment again to IGNOU.

IGNOU Assignments marks play an important role in the assessment as the assignment marks and theory marks both are important for the final marks of the assessment. Each assignment normally accounts for 30% of the total course grade marks, whereas the remaining 70% of marks come from the marks scored in TEE examinations.

Therefore, it is mandatory for students to strictly follow the assignment submission deadlines. Late submission of the assignments could deduct your assignment marks or reject your assignment which could affect your overall marks for the specific IGNOU Course.
