 Printed study material is our mainstay in learning paradigm. Our study
material is prepared by a team of experts keeping in view the interest of the
learner. Each course has a course Expert Committee with distinguished
academics and professionals involved in the course preparation. The course
material is written in such a manner that the learners can study it by
themselves with a minimum assistance from our Academic Counsellors at the
Study Centres. Further, text books and reference books are available in the
libraries attached to the Study Centres and Regional Centres. Therefore, there
is no need for any cheap or condensed guides for pursuing courses of IGNOU.
In fact these may harm the learners. The University strongly advises the
learners not to take recourse to such type of guides available in the market.

mode with modern technology-enabled education within the framework of blended learning.
The recent initiatives of the University include: SWAYAM based Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOCs), Shodhganga (UGCINFLIBNET Project), 24x7SWAYAMPRABHA, National
Digital Library (MHRD Project), e-Gyankosh and IGNOU e-Content App for digital study
material.

2. School of Sciences

The School of Sciences was established in 1985 and has been offering Science programmes
successfully through the distance mode of education. Presently, there are eight disciplines,
namely, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics
and Statistics in the School. At present, there are 42 faculty members and 15 administrative
staff members in the School of Sciences.

The functions of the School are to:

❖ plan, develop and offer academic programmes at the Awareness, Certificate,

Diploma, Under-Graduate, Post-Graduate and Research levels;

❖ collaborate with the other Schools of the University in the development of various
programmes/courses;

❖ participate in the development and academic monitoring of the student services; and

❖ carry out research in systemic and discipline-based areas of Science.

3. Bachelor’s Degree Programmes under UGC CBCS Programme

Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India, has initiated the process
for developing New Education Policy (NEP) in our country to carry out reforms in Indian
education system with the help of University Grants Commission (UGC). UGC has initiated
several steps to bring equity, efficiency and academic excellence in the National Higher
Education System. The important ones include innovation and improvement in course
curricula, bringing about a paradigm shift in learning and teaching pedagogy, examination and
education system. [Link]. under UGC CBCS (choice based credit system) programme, an
internationally acclaimed system has been developed for offer all over the country.

The design of [Link]. under UGC CBCS programme offers opportunities and avenues to learn
core subjects but also to explore additional avenues of learning beyond the core subjects for
holistic development of an individual. This programme will facilitate the learner to equip
themselves with the best international academic practices.

The salient advantages of the choice based credit system are as follows:

❖ Shift in focus from the teacher-centric to learner-centric education.

❖ Learner may undertake as many credits as they can cope with without repeating all the
courses in a given semester if they fail in one/more courses.
❖ CBCS allows learner to choose inter-disciplinary, intra-disciplinary courses, skill oriented
papers (even from other disciplines according to their learning needs, interests and
aptitude) and have more flexibility.
❖ CBCS makes education broad-based and at par with global standards.
❖ CBCS offers flexibility for learner to study at different times and at different institutions to
complete one course (ease of mobility of learner). Credits earned at one institution can
be easily transferred to other universities.
The CBCS provides an opportunity for the learners to choose courses from the prescribed
courses comprising core, elective/minor or skill based courses. Under the CBCS scheme the
UGC has introduced a uniform grading system in the entire higher education in India. This will
benefit the students to move across institutions within India to begin with and across countries.
The uniform grading system will also enable potential employers in assessing the performance
of the candidates. In order to bring uniformity in evaluation system and computation of the
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) based on learner’s performance in examinations,
the UGC has formulated the guidelines to be followed. Hence, adoption of CBCS helps to
overcome the gap between university degree and employability by inculcating skills and
competencies in our graduates.

4. B. Sc. (HONS) BIOCHEMISTRY

With the academic session of July 2019, the Indira Gandhi National Open University has
adopted the Choice Based Credit System introduced by the University Grants Commission.
The Choice Based Credit System provides flexibility for the students to study the
subjects/courses of their choice and offer easy mobility between different institutions in the
country. There are two programmes under CBCS: viz. B. Sc. (General) [BSCG] and B. Sc.
(Honours) [BSCH]. While the BSCG programme was launched from July 2019, the BSCH is
launched from July, 2020.
While IGNOU has been one of the earliest to introduce credit based academic programmes
with a wider choice of courses, with the CBCS, it is now introducing semester system and
point based evaluation system under a 10 point grading system. The Programme Code of B.
Sc. (Hons) Biochemistry is BSCBCH. This programme is of 148 credits. The distribution of
credits under the different type of courses is as follows:
i) Core Courses (CCs): 14 courses of 6 credits each (i.e. 84 credits)
ii) Discipline Specific Electives (DSEs): 4 courses of 6 credits each (i.e. 24 credits)
iii) Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECCs): 2 courses of 4 credits (i.e. 8
credits)
iv) Skill Enhancement Courses (SECs): 2 courses of 4 credits (i.e. 8 credits)
v) Generic Electives (GEs): 4 courses of 6 credits each (i.e. 24 credits)
The programme can be completed in a minimum period of three years (six semesters) or in a
maximum period of six years. A credit is equivalent to 30 hours of study time. This comprise all
learning activities (i.e. reading and comprehending the print material, listening to audios,
watching videos, attending counselling sessions, teleconferencing and writing assignment
responses). Most courses of this programme (CCs, DSEs and GEs) are of six credits. This
means that you will have to put in 180 hours (6x30) of study time to complete each of these
courses. The programme also has 4 Ability Enhancement and Skill Enhancement courses,
each of four credit weightage (2 courses each). These require a total of 120 hours (4x30) of
study time. Table 4.1 gives an overview of the programme structure.

4.1 Core Courses (CC)

The programme has fourteen core courses. All these are discipline specific and are
distributed over all the six semesters. Each core course is of six credits. Over 14 courses,
these courses cover a total of 84 credits (from out of 148 credits) of the programme.

4.2 Elective Courses

These are Discipline Specific Elective Courses offered in the 5thand 6th semesters of the
programme. These courses are also of six credits each. The Discipline Specific Electives
(DSEs) are specialised courses and are meant to provide an extended knowledge of the
discipline. They are allied in nature in which the foundation knowledge derived from the Core
Courses and includes specific fields like nutrition, microbiology, clinical biochemistry and
plant biochemistry. The programme has four DSEs, two courses to be studied in each of the
two semesters in the 3rd year of the programme. They carry 24 credits weight (4 × 6
credits). The specific DSEs are shown in Table 4.1 above. With inclusion of these 4 DSEs,
there are total 18 courses of biochemistry discipline worth 108 credits in the programme.
The remaining courses are from other disciplines and are meant to give you exposure in an
inter-disciplinary perspective. These are outlined below.

4.3 Ability/Skill Enhancement Compulsory Courses

You will study 2 Ability Enhancement Courses (AECs) one each in the 1st and 2nd semester
of the first year of the 3 year programme. These are meant to enhance your language and
communication skills and provide awareness on the importance of environment. You will
study two Skill Enhancement Courses (SECs), one each in the third and the fourth semester
of your second year programme. While the course offered in the third semester gives
exposure to the application of different tools and techniques used in field of biochemistry, the
course offered in the fourth semester would help you to apply bioinformatics tools to explore
challenges in biochemistry. The course titles are available in Table 4.1 above.

4.4 Generic Electives

Generic Electives (GEs) are also inter-disciplinary in nature. They provide an exposure to
other disciplines/subjects which would complement the learning in core courses. The
courses which are presently on offer are listed in Table 4.1.

The University will add new electives and SECs later. The new courses added would be
updated on the University website from time to time. You can choose them at the time of re-
registration for the second or third year.

Now that you know the structure of the BSCBCH programme and its components, let us
focus on how to plan your studies.

4.5 Laboratory Work

Laboratory courses are an integral component of the [Link]. programme. While designing the
curricula for laboratory courses, particular care has been taken to weed out experiments not
significant to the present day state of the discipline. Importance has been given to the utility
of an experiment with respect to real life experience, development of experimental skills, and
industrial applications. It is planned to phase the laboratory courses during suitable periods
(such as summer or autumn vacations) so that in-service persons can take them without
difficulty. Laboratory courses worth 2 credits will require full-time presence of the student at
the Study Centre for one week continuously. During this time a student has to work for
around 60 hours. Around 40 hours would be spent on experimental work and the remaining
time will be used for doing calculations, preparations of records, viewing or listening to the
video/audio programmes.

You should bear in mind that the attendance in the Laboratory course is compulsory.
Every experiment is evaluated and is included for final evaluation, the weightage being 70%.
Hence, a student has to perform all the experiments in order to be able to secure maximum
marks. The remaining 30% will be assigned for the unguided experiments to be performed
by the student at the end of the Lab course.
You are advised to pace your laboratory courses. As far as possible, you should complete
the laboratory courses in the year in which you register for them.

5. PLANNING YOUR STUDIES

The programme offers flexibility in the duration for the completion of the programme. You
can take full advantage of this flexibility. A little bit of systematic planning is all can ensure
you to realize your goal of completing the 148 credits of the programme within the minimum
period of three years. If, for any reason, you are unable to complete the programme within
three years, please note that your registration for the programme is valid for six years. You
can also get additional two years by applying for readmission.

As already mentioned, each credit of this programme is equivalent to 30 hours of learner

study comprising all learning activities (i.e. reading and comprehending the print material,
listening to audios, watching videos, attending counselling sessions, teleconferencing and
writing assignment responses). This means that you will have to devote approximately 180
hours of study for a six-credit course and 120 study hours for a four credit course. Since you
have 22 courses of six credits and fourcourses of four credits, you should approximately try
to put in a total of 1480 hours of study in a year. This means that you will have to devote
around five hours of study everyday for about 300 days in a year. You have to adjust your
reading schedule keeping this workload in view. With this schedule, you will be able to
complete all courses in the minimum number of years i.e. 3 years. Since the number of
courses are not the same in all the semesters (i.e. you have more courses to clear in the
second year as compared to the first and the third year), to complete the three-year
programme in the minimum period of three years, you need to plan somewhat. It is helpful to
study consistently throughout the year. You should not let the studies accumulate requiring
you to speed up before the examinations as that will put undue pressure on you and you
may not be able to cope up.

If you are not able to fully devote yourself to the programme, you can set your targets for a
particular semester/year. If you feel that you can focus only on 30 credits in a year, plan for it
accordingly from the beginning of the year. Study only the selected courses. Do the
assignments of only those courses for which you plan to appear in the Term End
Examination (TEE) and carry over the rest to next year. Again next year, decide your goals
for the two semesters of that year. Whenever you decide to complete the previous
semesters/years course and have not submitted the Assignments for evaluation, make sure
that you attempt the current year‘s assignment (s) for that course. Always submit your
assignments well in timekeeping in view the eligibility to appear in the TEE (For details see
Section 6.1 of this Programme Guide). Through a proper planning suitable to you, you can
complete this programme at your convenience.

6. FEE STRUCTURE AND SCHEDULE OF PAYMENT

Rs. 43,500/- for full programme to be paid year wise @ Rs. 14,500/- per year. Fee to be
paid in 1st year, including Registration Fee of Rs.200/-is Rs.14,700/. The programme fee
should be paid only by means of Debit Card/Credit Card through online mode only. Fee
once paid is not refundable. The University can revise the programme fee. In that case, the
revised fee shall be payable by you as per the schedule of payment notified by the
university.

Although the BSCBCH programme is a semester-based programme, registration is done

annually. Just as you have registered for the first two semesters at the start of the
programme, you will have to re-register for the Second year (third and fourth semesters) and
third year (fourth and fifth semesters) before the beginning of the academic year as per the
schedule given below.
Schedule for Re-Registration

Learners are advised to submit the Re-Registration (RR) forms Online only on the web
portal [Link] as per the schedule notified by the University on its website from
time to time.

The programme fee has to be paid at the beginning of each year by online mode only
by means of Debit Card/Credit Card.
Timely payment of programme fees is the responsibility of the learner. The learner is
expected to remit the fees as early as possible without waiting for the last date. Non-
payment of fee would result in the withdrawal of access to study material and permission to
write the examinations. It may also result in the cancellation of admission. In case any
learner willfully
appears in an examination without proper registration for a course, appropriate action can be
taken against him or her as per the rules of the University.

7. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM

The methodology of instruction adopted by the University is different from that in the
conventional universities. The Open University system is more learner-oriented in which the
learner is an active participant in the teaching-learning process. Most of the instruction is
imparted through distance rather than face-to-face communication.
The University follows a multi-media approach for instruction. It comprises of
• Self-Learning Material
• Audio-video programmes transmitted through radio and television
• Teleconferencing sessions
• Face-to-face counselling at Study Centres by Academic Counsellors
• Assignments/ Tutorials/ Practicals/ Dissertation/ Project work

7.1 Course Material

Course material, in print or e-book format, is the primary form of instruction. You should
concentrate mainly on the course materials that are sent to you in the form of printed books
or

11
ebooks. The course material would be sufficient to write assignment responses and prepare
for the Term End Examination (TEE). We would, however, advice you to read additional
material, especially those given in the Suggested Reading section of the course material.

The course material prepared by the University is self-learning in nature. Each course is
printed in the form of a single book or e-book. The course is divided into a number of
Blocks. Each Block consists of few Units with the Units covered in a Block have a thematic
unity. The section on ‘course introduction’ in the book provides an overview of the entire
course, its objectives, guidelines for studying the material, etc. Besides, each unit has an
introductory section to the unit.

Each unit of the block begins with an Introduction which provides an overview of the major
theme of the unit. This is followed by the expected learning outcomest which will give you an
idea on what you are expected to learn from the Unit. Usually, subsequent units forge a link
with the topics of the previous Units. This is followed by the main text, which is divided into
various sections and subsections. At the end of one or two sections, some self-check
questions for self-evaluation are provided. These are given under the heading of Check
Your Progress or self assessment questions (SAQ). You should attempt this part. It will
help you in assessing the immediate absorption. You can then check your answers with the
hints/solutions given at the end of the unit. Questions in Check Your Progress are for your
practice only. You should not submit the answers to these questions to the University for
assessment. Answers furnished to the Check Your Progress exercises at the end of the unit
are sometimes only hints. This is done with a view to encouraging you to write the answers
in your own words.

There is a section on Let Us Sum Up/ Summary at the end of each unit. This gives a brief
account of what has been discussed in the Unit. The summary enables you to recall the
main points covered in the Unit. Each unit then ends with a list of References. They may be
suggested books for further reading or articles that have been consulted to prepare the unit.
Some of the books listed in this section will be available in the Study Centre library.

In order to comprehend the SLMs, you must read the Units carefully noting down the
important points. You can use the space in the margin of the printed pages for making notes
and writing your comments. While reading the Units, you may mark the difficult words and
look for the meaning of such words in a dictionary. If you still do not understand something,
consult your counsellor during the face-to-face sessions at the Study Centre for clarification.

7.2 Dispatch of Study Material

The dispatch of material will start once the online process of registration is complete. You
can expect to receive your study material within one month of closing of the registration for
the programme. If any course material is missing or you receive wrong or defective material,
please address your query to the Regional Centre or write to Student Services Centre at
ssc@[Link].

For the students who have applied for digitized version, detailed information is available on
the IGNOU website.

12
7.3 Academic Counselling

In distance education, face-to-face contact between the learners and their academic tutors/
counsellors is an important activity. The purpose of such an interaction is to answer some of
your questions and clarify your doubts, which may not be possible through any other means
of communication. It is also intended to provide you an opportunity to meet fellow learners.

There are experienced academic counsellors at the Study Centres to provide academic
counselling and guidance to you in your courses. The academic counselling sessions for
each of the courses will be held at suitable intervals throughout the academic session.
Attendance in the academic counselling sessions for theory courses is not compulsory, but
we would suggest you to attend these sessions as they may be useful in certain respects.
These could be to share your views on the subject with teachers and fellow learners,
comprehend some of the complex ideas or difficult issues, get clarifications for any doubts
which you would not otherwise try to raise, etc. However, it is compulsory to attend practical
sessions for the courses that have practicals or laboratory work.

Face-to-face counselling will be provided to you at the Study Centre assigned to you. You
should note that the academic counselling sessions will be very different from the usual
classroom teaching or lectures. Academic counsellors will not be delivering lectures or
speeches. They will try to help you to overcome difficulties, which you face while studying for
this programme. In these sessions, you must look into the subject-based difficulties and any
other issues arising out of such difficulties. The University normally organizes six to seven
academic counselling sessions for a 4-credit. In case there are less than 10 students in a
Study Centre, then intensive counselling sessions will be held which essentially means that
40 per cent of the prescribed counselling sessions will be conducted within a week‘s time.

Before you go to attend the academic counselling sessions, please go through your course
material and note down the points to be discussed. Unless you have gone through the Units,
there may not be much to discuss. Try to concentrate on relevant and important issues. Try
also to understand each other‘s points of view. You may also establish personal contact with
your fellow participants to get mutual help for academic purposes. Try to get the maximum
possible help from your academic counsellors.

7.4 Study Centre

To provide effective student support, we have set up a number of Study Centres all over the
country. You will be allotted one of these Study Centres taking into consideration your place
of residence or work. However, each Study Centre can handle only a limited number of
students and despite our best efforts, it may not always be possible to allot the Study Centre
of your choice. The particulars regarding the Study Centre to which you are assigned will be
communicated to you.

13
Every Study Centre will have:
• A Coordinator who will coordinate different activities at the centre.
• An Assistant Coordinator and other support staff appointed on a part-time basis.

• Academic Counsellors in different courses to provide counselling and guidance to you

in the courses you have chosen.
A Study Centre will have four major functions:

Counselling: Face-to-face counselling for the courses will be provided at the Study Centres.
As mentioned earlier, six to seven sessions for a 4-credit course.

The schedule of the counselling sessions will be communicated to you by the Coordinator of
your Study Centre.

Study Centre is the contact point for you. The University cannot send all the communication
to all the students individually. All important information is communicated to the Coordinators
of the Study Centers and Regional Directors. The Coordinators would display a copy of such
important circular/notification on the notice board of the Study Centre for the benefit of all
IGNOU learners. You are, therefore, advised to get in touch with your Study Centre for day-
to-day information about assignments, submission of examination forms, TEE date-sheet,
declaration of result, etc.

Evaluation of Assignments: Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) will be evaluated by the

Academic Counsellors appointed for different courses at the Study Centre. These
assignments will be returned to you with tutor‘s comments and marks obtained. These

8. EVALUATION

The system of evaluation followed by the University is also different from that of conventional
universities. IGNOU has a multitier system of evaluation.
• Self-assessment exercises within each unit of study.
• Continuous evaluation through assignments which are tutor-marked, practical
assignments and seminar/workshops/extended contact programmes, etc. (depending
on the nature of the course).
• Term End Examinations.
• Project/Practical work (depending upon the requirement of the course).

15
The weightage given for the continuous evaluation through assignments and the term end
examination is 30 : 70. This means, in the final result, the assignments of a course carry
30% weightage while 70% weightage is given for the Term End Examination (TEE).
University follows a grading system for continuous evaluation as well as term-end
examination. It is done on a ten point scale using the letter grades as given below.

Letter Grade Numerical Grade Percentage

O (Outstanding) 10 > 85

A+ (Excellent) 9 > 75 to < 85

A (Very Good) 8 > 65 to < 75

B+ (Good) 7 > 55 to < 65

B (Above Average) 6 > 50 to < 55

C (Average) 5 > 40 to < 50

D (Pass) 4 > 35 to < 40

F (Fail) 0 < 35

Ab (Absent) 0 Absent

In the grade card issued, the University also provides numerical marking with award of
division for the programme. You are required to score at least 35% marks (Grade D) in both
continuous evaluation (assignments) as well as the term-end examination of each course. In
the overall computation also you must get at least 35% marks (Grade D) in each course to
complete the [Link]. degree.
Students who do not qualify in the term-end examination are allowed to take up the Term
End Examination in the next year. It means you can take the TEE of the first year courses in
the second year of your study. But you can appear in the examination for not more than 48
credits in one TEE. Similarly, the first and second year courses can be carried over to the
third year.
8.1 Assignments

Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation. The marks that you secure in the
assignments will be counted in your final result. As mentioned earlier, an assignment of
a course carries 30% weightage. You are therefore advised to take your assignment
seriously. A simple omission on your part may put you in great disadvantage later. However,
there will be no written assignments for Lab courses.

16
For each course of this programme, you have to do two to three Tutor Marked Assignments
(TMAs) depending upon the nature of the course. The TMA for each semester can be
downloaded from the Student Zone of the University website. Ensure that your
assignment responses are complete in all respects. Before submission, you should ensure
that you have answered all the questions in all the sections/parts of the assignments.
Incomplete assignment responses may affect your grades adversely.

You have to complete the assignment within the due dates specified in the
assignment booklet. You will not be allowed to appear for the term-end examination
for any course if you do not submit the assignment in time for that course. If you
appear in term-end examination, without submitting the assignments, the result of the
term-end examination is liable to be cancelled.

The main purpose of TMA is to test your comprehension of the learning materials you
receive from us and also to help you get through the courses. The evaluators/academic
counselors, after correcting the assignments, return them back to you with their comments
and marks. The comments will guide you in your study and help in improving it. It is
therefore important that you collect the evaluated TMA along with a copy of the assessment
sheet containing the comments of the evaluator on your performance.

The content provided in the printed course materials should be sufficient for answering the
assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra reading materials for
working on the assignments. However, if you have access to other books, you may make
use of them. The assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly
on the course material and apply your personal experience.

You have to submit your assignment response sheets to the Coordinator of the Study
Centre assigned to you. For your own record, you must retain a copy of all the assignment
responses which you submit to the Coordinator. If you do not get back your duly evaluated
tutor marked assignments (along with a copy of the assessment sheet containing comments
of the evaluator on your assignment), within a month after submission, please try to get it
personally from your Study Centre. Always keep duplicate copies of assignment
responses of TMAs submitted to Study Centres. They may be required to be produced at
Student Evaluation Division on demand. Also, maintain an account of the corrected
assignment responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your
case to the University in case any problem arises.

If you do not get a pass grade in any assignment, you have to submit it again. Get fresh
assignments from the Student Zone tab of the University website. However, once you get
the pass grade in an assignment, you cannot re-submit it for improvement of grade.
Assignments are not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any, committed by
the evaluator. The discrepancy noticed by you in the evaluated assignments should be
brought to the notice of the Coordinator of the Study Centre, so that the correct score is
forwarded by him/her to the Student Evaluation Division at Headquarters.

In case you find that the score indicated in the assignment sheet of your Tutor Marked
Assignment has not been correctly reflected or is not entered in your grade card, you are

17
advised to contact the Coordinator of your Study Centre with a request to forward the correct
award list to the Student Evaluation Division at the Headquarters.

Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification, if any, about study material or assignment
along with the assignment. Send your doubts in a separate cover to the Director of the
concerned School at IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi - 110068. Give your complete
enrolment number, name, address, title of the Course, and the number of the Unit or the
assignment, etc. on top of your letter.

3) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any, given on the
assignment itself about the subject matter or its presentation.
4) Go through the Units on which the assignments are based. Make some points regarding
the question and then rearrange those points in a logical order and draw up a rough
outline of your answer. While answering an essay type question, give adequate
attention to introduction and conclusion. The introduction must provide a brief
interpretation of the question and how you propose to develop it. The conclusion must
summarise your response to the question. Make sure that the answer is logical and
coherent, and has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs. The answer
should be relevant to the question given in the assignment. Make sure that you have
attempted all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied with your answer,
write down the final version neatly and underline the points you wish to emphasise.
While solving numerical problems, use proper format and give working notes wherever
necessary.

18
5) Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid
using very thin paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between
each answer. This would facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments in the margin
at appropriate places.
6) Write the responses in your own handwriting. Do not print or type the answers. Do not
copy your answers from the Units/Blocks sent to you by the University. It is advised to
write your answers in your own words as it will help in grasping the study material.
7) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the
assignment will be rejected.
8) Write each assignment separately. All the assignments should not be written in
continuity.
9) Write the question number with each answer.
10) The completed assignment should be submitted to the Coordinator of the Study Centre
allotted to you. TMAs submitted at any other place will not be evaluated.
11) After submitting the TMA, get the acknowledgement from the Coordinator on the
prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
12) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should submit your TMA
only to the original Study Centre until the change of Study Centre is notified by the
University.
13) If you find that there is any factual error in evaluation of your assignments e.g. any
portion of your assignment response has not been evaluated or the total of score
recorded on your assignment response is incorrect, you should approach the
Coordinator of your study centre for correction and transmission of correct score to
headquarters.
