10. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
The system of evaluation in IGNOU is also different from that of the conventional universities.
IGNOU has a multi-tier system of evaluation.
• Continuous evaluation mainly through assignments which are tutor marked
assignments.
• The Term End Examinations.
• Projects
The evaluation of learners depends upon various instructional activities undertaken by them. A
learner has to write assignment responses compulsorily before taking term end examination from
time to time to complete an academic programme. Term-end examination will be conducted at
the study centre/exam centers, where as the project submission will be done at the study centre.
The weightage of TMA (Tutor Mark Assignments) and TEE for all the courses is 30% and 70%
respectively in the overall evaluation scheme of the programme.
A student will be awarded marks for the TMAs and for Term End Examination (TEE) part for
each course. To clear a course, a student will have to clear both the segments of the course.
Following table gives minimum percentage of marks required for the clearance of a course:
Evaluation Component’s % of marks for
part for the Course Clearance
TMA ≥ 40%
Term-end Examination (TEE) ≥ 40%
Overall Performance ≥ 40%
11
To facilitate statement of overall performance at the end of the programme, the calculation of
overall percentage will be based on the weighted average system and the precision will be up to
the one point after the decimal. Calculations will be carried out using the following scheme :
C1 P1 + C2 P2 + C3 P3 + . . .
Overall Percentage =
C1 + C2 + C3 + . . .
where C1, C2 … denote credits associated with courses taken by the student, and
P1, P2 … denote the percentage of marks awarded in respective courses.
Depending on the over all percentage of the marks secured by a candidate the division will
awarded as follows
• 1st Division (With Distinction ) - 75% and above
• 1st Division - 60% to 74.9%
• 2nd division - 50% to 59.9%
• Pass - 40% to 49.9%
• Unsuccessful - Below 40%
