About IGNOU CIS – Certificate in Sericulture

IGNOU CIS Assignments Overview

In the Certificate in Sericulture programme, assignments are a vital part of your academic journey. These assignments carry 30% weightage toward the final grade of your certificate. Every student must submit all required assignments before the Term End Examination (TEE) to become eligible to sit for the final exam. These are known as Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA), which means they are evaluated by your course tutors. For CIS, you typically need to complete one assignment for each theory course in the curriculum.

The assignments are divided based on the admission cycle, either the January session or the July session. It is important to download the specific assignment booklet that applies to your current TEE cycle for 2026. Using the wrong session’s questions may lead to rejection. If a student misses the submission deadline for their specific session, they must download the new questions and resubmit them during the next available session.

IGNOU maintains strict rules regarding the authenticity of your work. All submissions must be original and handwritten by the student to ensure personal engagement with the subject matter. Plagiarism, or copying directly from textbooks or other students, is strictly prohibited and can result in zero marks. Once submitted, marks are awarded by your Study Centre coordinator and are eventually updated on the official grade card after evaluation.

How to Submit IGNOU CIS Assignments

To submit your work, you must first write all your answers by hand on A4 size paper, preferably using ruled sheets for better presentation. You must fill out the cover page completely with your enrollment number, programme code, course code, and study centre code. It is helpful to arrange your answer sheets in the exact order of the questions before stapling or binding them. A well-organized assignment makes the evaluation process easier for the teacher.

Depending on the instructions from your Regional Centre, you may need to perform a physical submission at your Study Centre or an online submission via a specific Regional Centre portal. After submitting your work in person, always collect the submission receipt from the coordinator for your records. You can check if your marks are updated on the IGNOU portal by visiting the assignment status page after a few months of submission.

Timelines are very important in IGNOU. For the June TEE, the submission deadline is typically in March or April of 2026. For the December TEE, the deadline is usually in September or October of 2026. Staying updated with official notifications will help you avoid last-minute rushes or late fees.
