About IGNOU PGCGPSOL – Post Graduate Certificate in Gandhi and Peace Studies (Online)

IGNOU PGCGPSOL Assignments Overview

In this programme, assignments carry a significant weightage of 30% toward your final grade. Each course under the Post Graduate Certificate in Gandhi and Peace Studies (Online) requires you to complete one Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA). These tasks are designed to test your understanding of the study material provided by the university. You must secure at least the minimum passing marks in these assignments to be eligible for the Term End Examination (TEE). Usually, there are four main courses in this certificate, meaning you will need to prepare four separate assignment sets.

The university operates in two main admission cycles: the January session and the July session. If you are enrolled in the January session, your assignments are typically due for the June TEE. If you are in the July session, they are due for the December TEE of that same year. It is vital to check the validity mentioned on the top of your assignment PDF for 2026. If you miss the submission deadline for your specific session, you will have to download the new assignments for the next session and submit those instead.

All assignments must be handwritten by the student themselves. IGNOU does not accept typed or printed answers for this programme. Plagiarism, which means copying answers directly from books, the internet, or other students, is strictly prohibited and can lead to the rejection of your work. Your answers should reflect your own thoughts and understanding of Gandhian principles. After submission, the Study Centre coordinator or an evaluator appointed by the Regional Centre will award marks based on the quality and originality of your content.

Students can easily download the official assignment question papers for the 2026 academic session through the university’s centralized portal. Ensure you choose the “Online Programmes” section or the specific Gandhi and Peace Studies category. Always double-check that you are downloading the PDF that corresponds to your enrollment year and the upcoming examination cycle. If you find that the PDF for your specific course code is not yet updated for 2026, please wait a few days as the university uploads them in phases.

How to Submit IGNOU PGCGPSOL Assignments

The first step in submission is preparing your response sheets using A4 size ruled or plain paper. You must create a professional cover page for each course assignment. This cover page must clearly state your full name, enrollment number, programme code (PGCGPSOL), course code, and your Study Centre or Regional Centre code. Make sure to arrange your answer sheets in the correct numerical order of the questions asked in the PDF. Each assignment should be kept separate; do not bind assignments of two different courses together.

Since this is an online programme, many Regional Centres allow for online submission through a dedicated Google Form link or an LMS portal. However, some centres may still require you to submit the physical handwritten copies at your assigned Study Centre. After submitting, always remember to collect a submission receipt from the office or take a screenshot of the successful upload. This receipt is your only proof of submission if your marks are not updated on the IGNOU Grade Card portal within a few months.

For students appearing in the June TEE 2026, the deadline is usually March 31st or April 30th. For those appearing in the December TEE 2026, the deadline is generally September 30th or October 31st. These dates are often extended by the university via official notifications, so it is a good idea to keep an eye on the main website for the latest announcements regarding 2026 submissions.

How to Prepare IGNOU PGCGPSOL Assignments

To score high marks, you should read the questions multiple times to understand exactly what is being asked. Use the Self Learning Material (SLM) as your primary guide but try to explain Gandhian concepts in your own unique language to show the evaluator that you have truly grasped the subject.
