IGNOU Result Issues 2025: Revaluation, Assignment Marks & DECE Project Status

IGNOU Result Issues 2025: So, the result is out. But instead of celebrating, you are worried. Maybe your Assignment marks are missing, maybe you got fewer marks than expected, or perhaps you are a DECE student wondering where your Project marks are.

You are not alone. These are the three biggest problems students face immediately after the Term End Exam result.

In this "All-in-One" guide, we provide solutions for:

1. Low Marks: How to apply for Revaluation (Copy Check).
2. Incomplete Result: How to update pending Assignment marks.
3. Project Results: Special guide for DECE-4 and Practical students.

Step 1: First, ensure you have checked your complete subject-wise marks here: [Check IGNOU Grade Card Status 2025].

Problem 1: Low Marks? (Revaluation & Copy Check)

If you believe you wrote a good exam but received very low marks (e.g., 18 or 20 marks), IGNOU gives you a chance to challenge the result.

Option A: Revaluation (Re-checking)

The university will assign a new teacher to re-check your answer sheet.

1. Fee: Rs. 750/- per subject.
2. Deadline: Within 30-40 days of result declaration.
3. Outcome: If marks increase, your Grade Card is updated. If they decrease (rare), the "Better of the Two" marks are kept.

Option B: Photocopy of Answer Script

You can ask for a scanned copy of your answer sheet to see how it was checked.

1. Fee: Rs. 100/- per subject.
2. Benefit: You can see if any answer was left unchecked or totaled incorrectly.

Recommendation: If you failed by a huge margin (e.g., got 5 marks), save money and just fill the Re-appear Exam Form for the next session. Revaluation works best if you are failing by just 5-10 marks.

Problem 2: Assignment Marks Not Added (Result Incomplete)

This is the most common panic situation. Your theory marks are visible, but the Grade Card says "Not Completed" because the Assignment column is blank.

Why is it blank?

Assignments are checked at your Study Centre, while Theory exams are checked at Zonal Centres. The Study Centre often takes longer to upload marks.

How to Fix It:

1. Check Status Online: Visit the IGNOU Assignment Status portal.
2. Status "Received": If it says "Received/Check Grade Card", marks will appear in 10-15 days.
3. Status "Not Found": If you submitted it 3+ months ago and it still shows "Not Found":
4. Visit your Study Centre immediately.
5. Show them the Submission Receipt (Pink/Yellow slip).
6. They might ask you to re-submit or they will locate your file and update the marks.

Problem 3: DECE Project & Practical Results (Special Section)

For students of Diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education (DECE) and other practical courses, the confusion is different. You might pass DECE-1, 2, and 3, but DECE-4 (Project) marks are missing.

The Reality of DECE-4 Projects:

1. Project files are evaluated separately, often in Delhi or Regional Centres.
2. They take 3 to 6 months to update after submission.
3. Where to check: Project marks are usually NOT in the "Term End Result" list. You must check the Grade Card directly under the "Practical/Project" column.

Is Your Project Rejected?

If your DECE Project marks are not updated even after 6 months, or if you see very low marks (below 35), it means:

1. The project was rejected due to copying.
2. You failed the Viva-voce (if applicable).
3. Solution: You have to pay the Project fee again online and Re-submit the Project in the next cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I apply for Revaluation for Assignments?

No. Revaluation is ONLY for Theory (Written) Exams. Assignment marks given by your Study Centre are final.

Once your new marks are updated and the status turns "Completed", the mark sheet is dispatched within 20-30 days. You can track it here: [IGNOU Marksheet Dispatch Status]

3. What is the passing mark for DECE Project?

You need 35% (35 out of 100) to pass the DECE-4 Project.
