About IGNOU BPAFHM – B.A. (Performing Arts) Hindustani Music (Hons.)

IGNOU BPAFHM Assignments Overview

For every course in the B.A. (Performing Arts) Hindustani Music (Hons.) curriculum, students are required to complete one Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA). These assignments carry a 30% weightage toward your final grade, while the remaining 70% comes from the Term End Examination. It is important to understand that you must secure at least the minimum passing marks in these assignments to be declared successful in a course. Without submitting the required assignments, you will not be eligible to fill out the examination form or sit for the final theory papers for that particular semester.

The university operates on two main academic cycles: the January session and the July session. If you are enrolled in the July session, your assignment submission usually happens in March or April of the following year. For those in the January session, the submission period typically falls in September or October. The assignment question papers are updated for each session, so you must ensure you are working on the questions valid for 2026. If you miss a deadline, you must download the fresh set of questions for the next cycle and resubmit them accordingly.

Every response in your assignment must be handwritten by you personally. IGNOU does not accept typed or printed assignments for the B.A. (Performing Arts) Hindustani Music (Hons.) programme. Plagiarism, which means copying directly from books, websites, or other students’ work, is strictly prohibited and can lead to the rejection of your submission. Your work is evaluated by the Study Centre coordinator or a subject expert, and the marks are then forwarded to the Regional Centre to be updated on your official Grade Card portal.

How to Submit IGNOU BPAFHM Assignments

To begin your submission process, you must write your answers clearly by hand on A4 size paper, preferably ruled sheets to maintain neatness. Each assignment must have a dedicated cover page that includes your full name, enrollment number, programme code (BPAFHM), course code, and the name of your Study Centre. Once you have finished writing, arrange your answer sheets in the correct sequence as per the question paper. It is highly recommended to keep a photocopy or a scanned copy of your completed work for your own records before you submit it.

The submission method can vary depending on the instructions provided by your specific Regional Centre. Most students submit their physical files directly at their assigned Study Centre where they receive a stamped acknowledgement receipt. However, some Regional Centres allow or require online submission through a dedicated Google Form or portal. After submission, it usually takes a few months for the marks to reflect on the official IGNOU website, so you should check your status regularly using your enrollment number.

The deadlines are generally fixed but may be extended by the university under certain circumstances. For the June TEE 2026, the deadline is typically the end of March or April. For the December TEE 2026, the submission deadline is usually the end of September or October. Staying ahead of these dates ensures that your hall ticket is processed without any technical delays or hurdles related to assignment status.
