In general, the IGNOU calculates the percentage on a 30:70 basis.

Assignments = 30

Theory Exam = 70

Initially, assignments and theory will be graded out of 100. Then it will be converted based on the ratio. So, 30% of the total assignment marks and 70% of the theory exam, both marks are totaled into one.

The percentage is calculated by dividing total marks by the number of subjects, which is 309.7/5= 61.94.

So that's how the marks or percentage or grade calculation works.

Students should avoid completely relying on IGNOU study materials. They must prepare with the understanding that regardless of whether they obtain or do not obtain those recommended books and notes, their preparation must be fully operational and effective.

Apart from downloading the materials and studying them online, you should purchase the IGNOU Help Book for particular subjects of GULLY BABA PUBLICATION.

If you aren't already a master of time management, there are two ways to get through the first year.

• You teach yourself time management, your productivity increases significantly, and you'll have more time to sleep.
• You disregard time management while forgetting what sleep entails. You spend the mornings keeping yourself awake in class, and the nights are spent getting ready for those classes and trying to finish up any unfinished work.

Many people end up taking the second option. Every day, they find it difficult to keep the numerous activities that they either are obligated to perform or take on voluntarily, and they quickly run out of time and patience. The more intelligent or unconcerned individuals significantly reduce their participation in voluntary activities. Thus, their days here are spent studying, sleeping, and occasionally relaxing with friends. You only need to be aware that you will either have to forgo your usual sleep or learn the skills and techniques.

It is strongly advised that you only purchase Neeraj Publication books and not the GPH. If you want to pass the exam, GPH is sufficient. However, if you want to learn something and get good grades, you should definitely buy Neeraj Publication books. Neeraj Publication books are a mix of direct questions answered and concepts covered briefly. This is a better introduction to the subject than the GPH.

Neither Neeraj publication books nor GPH can replace the IGNOU study material. Studying these IGNOU books will not only increase your knowledge but will also boost your confidence. You need to determine your reason for studying first and then study the book accordingly.

After completing your registration, you must provide your email address and phone number. You will receive a confirmation email regarding your application, indicating that it has been acknowledged.

After a month or two, you will receive a text message or email with instructions on how to retrieve your study materials. It is important to remember that the Study Center and the location where you collect your study materials (Regional Center) are not the same.

You can also send an email requesting that it be sent to your address, which you will receive approximately 2 months later. However, you must visit the Regional Center at least once to obtain your enrollment card and have it stamped.

Keep in touch with the institution via email until you receive what you require. I would not recommend making phone calls because it is always busy and difficult to get through.

If your study centre does not have a specific paper size, you can use A4-size paper or assignment pages with lines marked on them. Mark the page number on your assignment and the total pages in front of your assignment, and if you submit any tables or images, mark them on your table of content.

When submitting your assignment, remember to include a copy of your assignment question as well as your name, enrollment number, submission date, course name and code, term, study centre address, as well as your address and contact number, so that study centre staff can contact you if anything goes wrong.
