The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has set passing marks for various programs. For Bachelor’s programs, students must achieve a minimum of 35 out of 100 marks in theory and practical papers. In Master’s programs, the passing marks are set at 40 out of 100. The university also follows a grading system based on numerical grades and percentages.
Additionally, assignments play a crucial role, constituting 30% of the total marks for any course. Students need to score at least 40% in assignments for Master’s programs and 35% for Bachelor’s programs. The grade card issued by IGNOU provides comprehensive information about the student’s performance in each course, including theory, practical, assignments, and project work. To qualify for a program, students must meet the subject-wise passing marks and obtain a minimum of 50% in aggregate (Internal+External).
