Project submission is an important stage for all IGNOU learners before they complete the program. IGNOU Project Submission is a process that ensures your fieldwork, practical knowledge, or research is evaluated properly as part of your final evaluation. Whether you are pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, Diploma, or PG Diploma course – submitting your project report, dissertation, or internship correctly is vital to getting your diploma on time.
IGNOU has simplified submission by introducing online submission for the December 2025 Term End Examination (TEE). This update will help students save time, and they can submit their reports quickly without having to go to the regional center. To ensure that the submissions are accepted, learners must follow certain rules and formats.
