Understanding the IGNOU Grade Card Format
The grade card provides a detailed breakdown of a student’s performance in their courses.
Enrollment Details: This section includes personal information, such as name, enrollment number and program code.
Course Code: Each course taken by the student is available in this section.
Assignment result: The grade card of IGNOU displays the score of the student in the TMA for each course.
Term-end Examination: This section shows the marks obtained in the written exam.
Practical/Project/Internship result: This section displays the score achieved in practical, projects, or internships.
Status: This column provides remarks and status information, i.e., “Completed,” “Not completed”.
IGNOU Final Grade Card status showing not completed, Here’s What to Do
Many students face the problem that their grade card is not updated. Don’t worry! Here’s why it might happen and what you can do:
🔸 Common Reasons:
A grade report not completed means your Assignment/Theory/practical is not updated on the dashboard.
The assignment record is not updated.
You submitted a TMA, but the study center did not send the data to the regional office. If they do not update your record on the Dashboard, The portal will display ‘Not Completed.
Ensure you have submitted within the time and have the acknowledgment receipt or proof of submission.
Note: Keep a copy of an acknowledgment slip so you won’t have to worry in the future about tracking IGNOU grade card status in 2025.
Check how you can update the assignment number easily.
The TMA score is below the passing requirement.
If you submit TMA without attending all questions, the study center gives a lower score, which is less than the passing requirement, and the status of your IGNOU final grade card will be “not completed.
Theory marks are less than the minimum passing requirement.
“Bachelor’s degree requires 35, and Master’s degrees 40“, so if you don’t get enough numbers, your result will be “incomplete.”
Incomplete project
BCA and BTS are project-oriented courses. Students who don’t follow the project manual will have trouble while making projects. They don’t know how to get approval, so they cannot submit.
I’ve seen most of the students who select AMT01 and AHE01 subjects don’t submit their projects. Completing theory and assignments alone won’t clear the grade report.
Finish both the theory and the project. If you don’t, your IGNOU results won’t be reflected.
Note: Whenever you go to college, don’t forget to talk to the course supervisor because they help to make the synopsis.
Trick to update IGNOU grade card marks (Old & New)
Wait for 15–30 days after the result declaration.
Contact your Regional Centre or call the helpline number.
Send an email to: termend@ignou.ac.in or your program-specific support mail.
Check the status using the dashboard.
After following all the guidelines, if your status is not reflected, you can contact us for RTI.
Check here for detailed reports on how you can update your marks using RTI.
Every year we help thousands of students to update their results through the RTI. It is one of the best tricks to get your status within a month.
✅ How Rahul Singh Got His Assignment Marks in 2025 – A Real Case Study
Are you facing delays in your IGNOU grade card update even after submitting all your papers on time?
Let me share a real-life example that could help you get your issue resolved faster — just like it did for Rahul Singh, from Gujarat.
He enrolled in the BAPCH program, completed his Term-End Exam in December 2023, he waited eagerly for his mark sheet and provisional certificate.
But months went by… and still, his IGNOU grade card was showing blank.
❓ What Went Wrong?
He had submitted all his papers on time, including for the subjects:
BPCC-111
BPCC-114
But even after four months, his TMA scores were not uploaded on the official dashboard, his grade card status remained stuck and his results were not declared.
His Efforts Before Filing RTI
Rahul followed up several times:
He contacted his study centre three times.
He sent multiple emails to the concerned department.
Still, he received no clear response and the grade card remained unchanged.
🙋 How I Helped Rahul:
Rahul then contacted me, explaining his issue in detail.
I guided him to file an RTI application online on 1st February 2025, which is a legal way to request information from a public authority.
Within just 15 days, Rahul received an official response from the university. The SED acknowledged the RTI and took immediate action.
Here’s what the Student Evaluation Division did:
They instructed the concerned Regional Centre to forward the missing assignment status (BPCC-111 & BPCC-114) immediately.
A copy of the email communication was also sent to Rahul Singh, so he was fully informed about the progress.
📸 Screenshot Proof:
✅ The SED also asked the regional centre to treat this matter as a top priority.
Thanks to the RTI, Rahul’s missing assignment marks were updated, and his result status changed to “Completed”.
