IGNOU Marksheet Dispatch Process 2025

Getting your IGNOU marksheet is a crucial step after completing your studies. Here’s a comprehensive guide to IGNOU marksheet dispatch details for 2025, including how to check the status online and what to do if you encounter issues.

IGNOU Marksheet Dispatch Process 2025

IGNOU typically dispatches marksheets to students who have successfully completed all components of their program, including Term-End Examinations (TEE), assignments, and practicals. The process generally involves:

1. Result Declaration: TEE results are released in phases on the official IGNOU website.
2. Marksheet Generation: Once all results for a program are declared and a student has cleared all requirements, IGNOU prints the marksheets.
3. Verification and Authentication: Marksheets undergo verification for accuracy before dispatch.
4. Dispatch: The documents (final marksheet and provisional certificate, usually in the same envelope) are dispatched via India Post (Speed Post/Registered Post) to the student’s registered address.

Timeline for Marksheet Dispatch (Approximate for 2025):

• June TEE (2025): Marksheet dispatch is expected to begin around September-October 2025.
• December TEE (2024): Marksheet dispatch typically begins around March-April 2025.

Generally, marksheets are dispatched within 45-90 days after the full declaration of results for all subjects in a program.

How to Check IGNOU Marksheet Dispatch Status Online:

IGNOU provides an online portal to check the dispatch status of your marksheet. Follow these steps:

1. Visit the Official IGNOU Website: Go to www.ignou.ac.in.
2. Navigate to “Student Services” or “Results”: Look for these sections on the homepage.
3. Find “Marksheet Dispatch Status” or “Degree/Certificate Dispatch Status”: There might be a direct link or you may need to go through “Results” and then “Grade Card” or “Convocation.”
   • Some sources suggest direct links like:
     • https://www.ignou.ac.in/pages/60 (Under “Results” or “Student Services”)
     • https://onlineservices.ignou.ac.in/idms/ (For Degree Delivery Management System, which might also show marksheet status after convocation)
4. Enter Your Enrollment Number: You will need your 9 or 10-digit enrollment number.
5. Select Your Program Code: Choose your specific program (e.g., BA, MA, B.Com, BCA, MBA).
6. Submit the Details: Click on the “Submit” or “Search” button.

The system will display the current status of your marksheet dispatch. This may include:

• Dispatch status: “Dispatched” or “Under Process”
• Dispatch Date
• Courier/Speed Post Tracking Details: If available, you will find a tracking number that you can use on the India Post website (www.indiapost.gov.in/) to track the delivery.

Important Points to Remember:

• No Separate Application Needed: IGNOU automatically dispatches the original marksheet to eligible students. You do not need to apply for it.
• Address Accuracy: Ensure your correspondence address in the IGNOU student portal (Samarth portal) is correct and updated. An incorrect address is a common reason for delivery issues. You can update your address via the Samarth portal or by contacting your Regional Centre.
• Provisional Certificate: The final marksheet and provisional certificate are usually sent together in the same envelope.
• Grade Card vs. Marksheet: While the online “Grade Card” shows your updated marks for assignments, TEE, and practicals, the physical “Marksheet” is the official document dispatched after program completion. The online grade card is generally indicative, but 99.99% final.
• Continuous Updates: IGNOU’s Grade Card status is continuously updated as and when marks are received from Regional Evaluation Centres (REC) for TEE results and from Regional Centres (RC) for assignments/practicals/projects.

What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your Marksheet:

If your marksheet has not been dispatched or you haven’t received it within the expected timeframe:

1. Check Online Status Regularly: Keep checking the marksheet dispatch status portal.
2. Verify Result Completion: Ensure all your results are declared and you have successfully passed all subjects. Missing practical/assignment marks can delay dispatch.
3. Check Your Postal Address: Double-check your address on the IGNOU student portal.
4. Track with Provided Number: If a tracking number is provided on the dispatch status page, use it on the India Post website.
5. Visit Your Nearest Post Office: Sometimes, the marksheet might be held at your local post office if delivery attempts were unsuccessful. Visit with your enrollment number.
6. Contact Your Regional Centre (RC): This is often the most effective step. Provide your enrollment number, program code, and dispatch details. They can often provide specific information or a list of dispatched marksheets for your region.
7. Email IGNOU Support:
   • [email protected]
   • [email protected]
   • [email protected]
   • [email protected] (Student Evaluation Division)
   • Provide your enrollment number, program, and a clear description of your issue.
8. File an RTI (Right to Information): If all else fails, you can file an RTI online at https://www.rtionline.gov.in/ to inquire about the status of your marksheet. This can be a quick way to get an official response.
9. Apply for a Duplicate Marksheet: If your marksheet is confirmed lost in transit or not received after a significant delay, you can apply for a duplicate copy by submitting an application form along with an affidavit and a nominal fee (usually Rs. 150/- via a bank draft in favor of IGNOU, New Delhi). The application form can usually be downloaded from the IGNOU website and sent to: The Registrar (SED) Indira Gandhi National Open University, Block 12, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110 068.
