📋 General Session-Wise Pattern (Quick Reference)
| Session | Feeds Into | Original Date | Usual Extended Date | 2026 Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | June TEE | 31 March | 30 April → further to 31 May | Closed (31 May 2026) |
| July | December TEE | 30 September | 31 October (typical) | Awaited for 2026 |
⚠️ What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?
- You risk losing eligibility to sit for the TEE in that subject until the assignment is cleared
- A missing assignment is treated as zero for that component until submitted
- In many cases you'll need to wait for the next TEE cycle, roughly six months later
- Overall degree completion timeline can slip as a result
- What to actually do: contact your Regional Centre directly and ask if a late-submission window is open — IGNOU has, in past cycles, allowed grace-period submissions even after the notified date, though this isn't guaranteed or documented as a right
📤 How to Submit Your Assignment
Assignment Front Page — What It Must Have
Every assignment needs a cover page as the very first sheet, with these details filled in by hand: your full name, 14-digit enrollment number, programme code and title, course code and title, study centre code, session (e.g. "July 2026"), submission date, and your signature. Take the exact course code and assignment code from your current question paper rather than an old front page — a mismatched code is one of the most common reasons a submission gets flagged.

🔎 How to Check Your Assignment Status
- Visit the official IGNOU Assignment Status portal directly: isms.ignou.ac.in
- Enter your 14-digit enrollment number
- Select your programme code from the dropdown
- Submit — the portal shows whether your assignment was received, and marks once evaluation is complete
Evaluation typically takes a few weeks after submission and can take longer during peak periods, so don't panic if your status doesn't update immediately.

❓ FAQs — IGNOU Assignment Last Date 2026-27
What is the IGNOU assignment submission last date for 2026-27?
For the January 2026 session (June 2026 TEE), the official last date was extended to 31 May 2026 — that window has closed. For the July 2026 session (December 2026 TEE), no final date has been officially notified yet as of this update; the usual pattern is around 30 September, often extended to 31 October. Use the search tool above for your exact course status.
Is the December 2026 TEE assignment deadline confirmed yet?
Not officially, as of 21 August 2026. IGNOU tends to release this notification closer to the actual date. We're tracking Regional Centre notices and the official IGNOU site and will update this page the same day a notification is issued.
Do all programmes share the same assignment deadline?
Most standard UG and PG ODL and Online programmes follow one common session date. A few specific tracks — GOAL, EVBB, and select B.Ed/nursing/vocational programmes — sometimes get separate notifications with different dates. If you're unsure which applies to you, search your course code in the tool above rather than assuming the general date.
Can I still write the TEE if I miss the assignment deadline?
Officially, assignment submission is listed as a requirement to appear in the TEE, and the official IGNOU portal does not state a blanket exception. In practice, some students have appeared for and cleared the TEE without a timely assignment submission, but this isn't officially documented or guaranteed. If you miss the deadline, contact your Regional Centre immediately to check your specific situation.
How much weightage do assignments carry in the final result?
Assignments carry 30% weightage in your final course grade, and the Term-End Examination carries the remaining 70%.
Do assignments need to be handwritten?
Yes, IGNOU assignments need to be handwritten and in your own words. You can scan and upload them online, or submit the physical copy at your Study or Regional Centre.
What details go on the assignment front page?
Your full name, enrollment number, programme code and title, course code and title, study centre code, session, submission date, and your signature — all handwritten, taken from your current question paper to avoid a code mismatch.
How do I check my assignment submission status?
Visit isms.ignou.ac.in, enter your enrollment number and programme code, and submit — the portal shows whether your assignment was received and whether evaluation is pending.
Where do I download the official assignment question paper?
IGNOU publishes these on its webservices portal, organised by Bachelor's, Master's, PG Diploma, Diploma and Certificate categories — direct links are in the table above. Search for your exact course code within the relevant category.
Is it helpful to use a solved assignment as reference?
Expert-written solved assignments are useful as a reference for structure, format and answer quality. Your final submission should still be written in your own handwriting and words. Updated 2026-27 solved assignments are available on IGNOU Simplified.
