Following are the most important things that you have to follow to make IGNOU assignments
Leave proper space for margin: Otherwise, question numbers go inside the binding or tying space. Therefore consider space for binding. Otherwise, the evaluator may not see the question number.
Put question numbers inside the margin: Always remember to put question numbers inside the margin, not outside. Some students are not conscious of this mistake.
Start a new answer on a new page: When you start new answers, in the case of essays and paragraphs, start with new pages. Avoid starting new answers bottom part of the page.
Avoid writing the assignment with materials collected from the same source: Approach different materials to prepare answers. It helps you to avoid repetition from the other students and gradually it makes your assignment more unique.
Consider the number of words that are demanded by each question: Write your answers based on the number of words that are demanded by each question. Some of the students are not conscious bout the number of words.
Follow the order of the questions in the question paper: Try to follow the order of questions in the question paper. In the case of term-end examination, you can keep an order as your wish. But in the case of assignment better to follow the order given in the question paper. That creates an impression from the evaluator.
Add a reference section: This part also makes your assignment unique and it helps you impress the evaluator.
Fill Personal Data Sheet and Evaluation Sheet with more care: Personal data sheet and Evaluation Sheet have an important role in an assignment. After evaluating your assignment, Assistant Coordinators have to upload your assignment’s marks with the help of information that you have given in the evaluation sheet. If you made any mistake in the information, that creates problems while uploading the mark. So always check twice before submitting it. If there are any mistakes or errors in the assignment, study center students can contact you by using the personal information that you have given in the personal data sheet. Therefore fill both personal data sheets and evaluation sheets with more care.
Download and attach the prescribed question paper: Download question papers from only reliable sources. Be more conscious about your session when you took admission. And download the question paper prescribed for your session.
Avoid copying from other assignments: That is not a good practice to copy others’ assignments as it is. You can use others’ assignments just as a model. But don’t copy it as it is.
