About IGNOU BSCN(PB) – Post Basic Bachelors of Science in Nursing

IGNOU BSCN(PB) Assignments Overview

For the Post Basic Bachelors of Science in Nursing, assignments are a core part of the continuous evaluation process and carry a significant 30% weightage toward the final grade. Each course in the programme requires the submission of a Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA) which is evaluated by the counselors at your assigned Study Centre. Students must score at least the minimum passing marks in these assignments to be considered successful in the course. It is important to note that you must submit all required assignments before the TEE to become eligible to sit for the theory exams.

IGNOU operates on two admission cycles, January and July, and the validity of your assignments depends on your enrollment session. For the 2026 academic session, students must ensure they are working on the latest question papers released by the university to avoid rejection. If a student misses the submission deadline for a particular term, they cannot appear for the exam of that subject and must resubmit the assignment in the next available session. Always check the session printed on the top of your assignment question paper to confirm its validity for 2026.

Every response in your assignment must be handwritten by the student themselves, as IGNOU strictly prohibits typed or printed submissions. Plagiarism, which means copying answers directly from the study material or from another student’s work, can lead to the cancellation of your assignment marks. Your Study Centre coordinator will award marks based on how well you have understood the nursing concepts and how clearly you have presented your clinical observations. High-quality, original answers help in securing better grades which ultimately improves your overall percentage in the Post Basic Bachelors of Science in Nursing.

How to Submit IGNOU BSCN(PB) Assignments

The submission process begins with writing your answers clearly by hand on A4 size ruled or plain paper. You must fill out the cover page accurately, including your enrollment number, name, complete address, programme code, course code, and study centre code. It is highly recommended to use a separate file or folder for each course to keep the pages organized. Arrange your answer sheets in the correct numerical order of the questions before you staple or tie them together for the final submission.

Most students are required to perform a physical submission at their assigned Study Centre where they must obtain a submission receipt from the coordinator. However, some Regional Centres may allow online submission via a dedicated portal or Google Form, so you should check your specific Regional Centre website for instructions. After submission, it usually takes a few months for the marks to be processed and reflected on the IGNOU Grade Card portal. Keep a photocopy of your handwritten work and the submission receipt safely until your marks are updated online.

Deadlines are very strict and must be followed to ensure your exam form is accepted by the university. For the June TEE 2026 cycle, the deadline is typically in March or April, while for the December TEE 2026 cycle, it is usually in September or October. These dates can sometimes be extended by the university, but students are advised to finish their work early. Timely submission ensures that your internal marks are sent to the evaluation division before the theory results are declared.
