About IGNOU BAFEC – Bachelor of Arts (Economics)

IGNOU BAFEC Assignments Overview

For every course in the Bachelor of Arts (Economics) programme, students must complete one Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA). These assignments carry a significant 30% weightage toward your final grade card marks, while the remaining 70% comes from the theory exams. You must secure at least 35% marks in each assignment to be considered “Pass” in that specific course. Without submitting these assignments at your Study Centre, you will not be allowed to fill out the examination form for the upcoming Term End Exams. For BAFEC, usually, there is one major assignment per subject code that covers various units of the study material.

The assignment cycle depends on whether you are enrolled in the July or January admission session. Students in the July session usually submit their assignments by March of the following year, while January session students submit by September. For the 2026 academic cycle, you must ensure you are working on the question papers specifically marked for your session. If you fail to submit on time or do not pass, the validity of that assignment expires, and you must download the new question paper released for the next session. Always check the top corner of the PDF to verify the session validity for 2026.

Every student must submit original, handwritten work to ensure the university can verify the student’s own effort and learning. Copying directly from the IGNOU textbooks or from “solved assignment” guides is considered plagiarism and can lead to the rejection of your submission or low marks. Your Study Centre coordinator or an appointed evaluator will check your answers based on clarity, logical flow, and correct application of economic principles. High-quality handwritten responses demonstrate your commitment and help in securing a better division in your final Bachelor of Arts (Economics) degree.

How to Submit IGNOU BAFEC Assignments

To begin the submission process, you must write your answers neatly by hand on A4 size ruled or plain paper. It is highly recommended to use one side of the paper for better readability, although both sides are often accepted. On the top of your file, you must attach a detailed cover page that includes your full name, enrollment number, Bachelor of Arts (Economics) programme code, and the specific course code. Make sure your study centre code is clearly visible so the marks can be updated correctly on your grade card. Once finished, arrange all your answer sheets in the sequence of the questions asked in the PDF.

Students have two ways to submit their work depending on the instructions from their respective Regional Centre. Most Study Centres require a physical submission where you hand over the hard copy and receive a stamped acknowledgment receipt. Alternatively, some Regional Centres have started using Google Forms or dedicated portals for online submission in PDF format. Regardless of the method, always keep a photocopy or a clear scanned copy of your handwritten assignments for your own records until the marks reflect on the official IGNOU website. You can track your status on the IGNOU Assignment Submission Status portal after a few months of submission.

Timing is crucial for clearing your degree on time. For the June TEE 2026, the deadline is generally 31st March or 30th April 2026. For the December TEE 2026, the submission window typically closes around 30th September or 31st October 2026. It is wise to submit at least 15 days before the official deadline to avoid the last-minute rush at the Study Centre. Keep an eye on the official website for any extensions to these dates, which are common but not guaranteed.
