About IGNOU BAECH – Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Economics

IGNOU BAECH Assignments Overview

In the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Economics programme, assignments carry a significant 30% weightage toward the final grade or percentage you receive on your marksheet. Every student must submit all required assignments before the Term End Examination (TEE) starts to become eligible to sit for the theory exams. These tasks are officially known as TMA (Tutor Marked Assignments), which means they are evaluated by the academic counselors at your specific Study Centre. For each course code in the BAECH curriculum, there is usually one comprehensive assignment that covers various units of the syllabus.

The university follows two academic cycles, so the assignments you need to solve depend on whether you are in the January session or the July session. For the 2026 academic period, students must ensure they are downloading the specific question papers that are valid for their current TEE cycle. If a student misses the submission deadline for the current session, they will not be allowed to take the exam for that subject and must wait to resubmit the assignment in the next session. It is always better to track the session validity mentioned on the top right corner of the assignment PDF to avoid any confusion.

IGNOU strictly requires all students to submit original handwritten work rather than typed or printed pages. Plagiarism, which means copying answers directly from the study material or from another student’s work, is considered a serious academic offence in the IGNOU context. If your counselor finds that your answers are identical to someone else’s, your assignment may be rejected or given zero marks. Your marks are awarded by your Study Centre coordinator based on how well you explain the economic concepts, your use of diagrams where necessary, and the overall clarity of your presentation.

How to Submit IGNOU BAECH Assignments

To begin the process, you must write all your answers by hand using either blue or black ink on A4 size ruled or plain paper. Every single assignment must have a proper cover page that includes your name, enrollment number, programme code (BAECH), course code, and your study centre code. Once you have finished writing, arrange the answer sheets in the correct chronological order of the questions before stapling or binding them securely. Make sure your handwriting is legible so that the evaluator can read your points clearly without any struggle.

The method of submission can vary depending on the instructions provided by your Regional Centre. You might need to perform a physical submission at your Study Centre by visiting in person, or you might be asked for an online submission via a dedicated Google Form or Regional Centre portal. After submitting your work, always remember to collect the submission receipt or acknowledgment slip from the coordinator. This receipt is your only proof of submission if your marks are not updated on the IGNOU portal within the expected timeframe.

Deadlines are very strict in the IGNOU system to ensure smooth processing of results. For students appearing in the June TEE, the deadline is typically in March or April of 2026. For those appearing in the December TEE, the deadline usually falls in September or October of 2026. However, these dates are often extended by the university, so students should keep checking the official notifications to stay updated on the latest submission windows.
