New Delhi, May 6, 2025 — In a major relief for distance and online learners, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has officially extended the deadline for submission of academic components related to the upcoming June 2025 Term-End Examinations (TEE). As per a notification issued by the Student Evaluation Division (SED), the new deadline for submission of assignments, project reports, field work journals, practicum, dissertations, and internship reports is now May 31, 2025.

This extension applies to students enrolled under ODL (Open and Distance Learning), Online Programmes, GOAL (Global Online Access to Learning), and EVBB (Employability Enhancement through Vocational and Business-Based Learning) formats. The university stated that the decision was taken with the approval of the Competent Authority, aiming to ensure that learners can complete and submit their academic requirements without compromising quality.
Who Will Benefit?
The extension is applicable to a broad category of IGNOU learners:
-
ODL Students enrolled in traditional distance education programs
-
Online Programme Learners accessing IGNOU’s digital platforms
-
GOAL students, including those from tribal and underserved areas
-
EVBB participants, primarily involved in vocational and business-centric courses
IGNOU caters to a diverse demographic of learners, many of whom balance studies with full-time jobs or personal responsibilities. The extension is seen as a learner-centric measure that addresses logistical and academic challenges specific to non-traditional students.
Updated Submission Deadline
-
Previous Deadline: Early May 2025 (exact date varied by program)
-
Revised Deadline: May 31, 2025 (uniform for all qualifying students)
Students are strongly encouraged to use the additional time wisely to ensure their submissions are thorough and accurate. Incomplete or late submissions may still impact examination eligibility or result declarations.
Components Covered Under the Extension
The following academic components are included in the extension window:
-
Assignments (Tutor Marked Assignments TMAs)
-
Project Reports
-
Field Work Journals
-
Practicum
-
Dissertations
-
Internship Reports
Students must ensure that these are submitted as per course-specific instructions — either online or via designated physical submission centers.
How to Submit
Students should follow the updated submission guidelines available on the official IGNOU website (www.ignou.ac.in) or contact their respective Regional Centres for clarification. Submission may involve:
-
Uploading documents via the online portal for Online and GOAL programmes
-
Hard copy submission at designated Study Centres for ODL-based programmes
-
Email-based submissions where specified
Each School or Programme Division may have additional instructions based on subject requirements.
IGNOU Reaffirms Learner-Centric Approach
IGNOU’s decision reflects its commitment to flexible, inclusive, and accessible education, especially for students enrolled in non-campus-based learning formats.
“The extension reflects IGNOU’s responsiveness to the evolving needs of its students. We aim to ensure academic continuity without adding unnecessary pressure,” a senior university official stated.
The university continues to prioritize academic integrity while adapting to the unique challenges faced by its vast student community, which spans across India and abroad.
Important Notes for Students
-
No further extension is expected, so students should complete submissions by May 31.
-
Missing the deadline may result in disqualification from appearing in June 2025 TEE.
-
Assignments and project work are integral to final grades and must be treated with the same importance as written exams.
-
Students should retain acknowledgment receipts or screenshots as proof of timely submission.
-
Queries should be addressed to the respective Regional Centres or Programme Coordinators.
Looking Ahead: June 2025 Term-End Exams
Following the submission phase, IGNOU is scheduled to conduct the June 2025 Term-End Examinations (TEE) starting mid-June, with the hall ticket release expected in the first week of the month. Students must ensure:
-
All academic work is submitted
-
Examination forms are duly filled
-
Payment of applicable fees is complete
TEE results will likely be declared by August 2025, after which students can apply for re-evaluation, improvement exams, or next semester registrations.
