📄 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.
🧾 Types of IGNOU Grade Cards
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.

📈 IGNOU Grade Card Status Meaning
The status column indicates whether the student has completed the course successfully.
-
Completed = You have passed in both assignment and theory/practical.
-
Not Completed = You have failed either assignment, theory, or practical.

📊 How Grades Are Calculated
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.
-
The final grade is based on the weighted average of assignment and term-end exam marks.

Practical marks (if any) are uploaded.
For example:
