About IGNOU PGDWGSR – Postgraduate Diploma in Women’s and Gender Studies

IGNOU PGDWGSR Assignments Overview

The assignments for the Postgraduate Diploma in Women’s and Gender Studies carry a significant weightage of 30% toward your final grade. You must submit all required assignments before the Term End Examination (TEE) to be eligible to sit for the exams. These are known as Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA), which are designed to test your understanding of the syllabus. For each course in the PGDWGSR programme, you are typically required to submit one comprehensive assignment.

IGNOU conducts exams twice a year, and the assignments you submit depend on your admission session. If you are enrolled in the January session, your assignments are usually valid for the June TEE of 2026. If you are in the July session, they apply to the December TEE of 2026. It is important to check the session validity mentioned on the assignment question paper PDF. If you happen to miss the deadline for one session, you must download the fresh set of assignments for the next session and submit them again.

Students must submit original handwritten work for all courses. IGNOU takes plagiarism very seriously, and copying answers from other students or external guides can lead to rejection of your work. Always write your responses in your own words to demonstrate your unique perspective. Your Study Centre coordinator will evaluate these assignments and award marks based on the quality and clarity of your answers.

How to Submit IGNOU PGDWGSR Assignments

To begin your submission, you must write all your answers by hand using blue or black ink on A4 size paper. On the front page of every assignment, you must clearly fill in your enrollment number, programme code, course code, and study centre code. Ensure that you arrange all your answer sheets in the correct sequence according to the question paper before you staple or bind them together.

Depending on the instructions from your Regional Centre, you can either submit your work physically at your assigned Study Centre or upload it online. If you submit offline, always ask for a submission receipt from the staff as proof of your submission. For online uploads, keep a digital copy of the submission confirmation. You can later check your assignment marks on the official IGNOU portal once they are processed by the examiners.

The submission deadlines are strictly followed by the university. For the June TEE 2026, the deadline is typically in March or April. For the December TEE 2026, the deadline is usually in September or October. Since these dates can sometimes be extended, students should stay updated through official notifications from the university website.

How to Prepare IGNOU PGDWGSR Assignments

To score high marks, read every question very carefully and refer to the Self Learning Material (SLM) provided by IGNOU. It is always better to write answers in your own words rather than copying text directly from the books.

For Handwritten (Offline) Submission:

• Write answers clearly in your own handwriting on A4 size paper
• Attach the IGNOU Assignment Cover Page at the front
• Arrange answer sheets in the correct order of questions
• Tag or punch and bind all pages together before submission
• Submit at your assigned Study Centre before the deadline

For Online Submission:

• Write answers clearly in your own handwriting on A4 size paper
• Attach the IGNOU Assignment Cover Page at the front
• Scan all pages clearly — every page must be fully readable
• Merge all scanned pages into a single PDF file
• Upload the PDF via your Regional Centre’s official submission link

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Do not copy answers directly from the study material word for word
• Do not ignore the prescribed word limits for each question
• Avoid using multiple ink colours or pencil
• Do not submit printed assignments unless specifically permitted by IGNOU
