📄 IGNOU Grade Card 2025 – Complete Guide for All Students
The IGNOU Grade Card is an official scorecard issued by the Indira Gandhi National Open University that shows a student’s academic performance in each course. It includes marks for assignments, theory exams, practicals (if applicable), and overall status — whether a student has passed or not.
IGNOU updates the grade card after every Term-End Examination (TEE) in June and December.
📋 What is an IGNOU Grade Card?
The grade card is like a progress report. It reflects:
-
Assignment Marks
-
Theory Marks (written exams)
-
Practical Marks (if applicable)
-
Course Completion Status
-
Total Marks and Grades
It helps students track their performance and know whether they’ve passed each course or need to reappear.

There are different types of grade cards depending on the program:
-
Bachelor’s Degree (BA, B.Com, B.Sc, BCA, etc.)
-
Master’s Degree (MA, M.Com, M.Sc, MBA, MCA, etc.)
-
Diploma / PG Diploma Programs

Certificate Courses
Each grade card is customized according to the structure of the particular course.

To pass a course, you must:
-
Score at least 35% to 40% in both assignments and theory exams (depending on the program).
-
For some programs, passing marks may vary slightly.
