To convert your performance in IGNOU courses into marks, you need to understand the university's specific calculation method, which combines your performance in term-end examinations and assignments.
Understanding IGNOU's Mark Calculation
IGNOU calculates a student's final marks for a course by weighting the scores obtained in two primary components: the Term-End Examination (TEE) and the assignments. This combined score is what ultimately contributes to your overall performance and grade.
Weightage Breakdown
The distribution of marks between these two components is as follows:
- Term-End Examination (TEE): This carries a weightage of 70% of the total marks for the course. Your performance in the written examination is the dominant factor.
- Assignments: The marks secured in your assignments contribute 30% to your total marks. Assignments are crucial for continuous assessment and understanding of the subject.
Practical Example
To illustrate how these percentages are combined to arrive at your final marks, consider the following scenario:
- Student's Score in Written Exam (TEE): 80 marks
- Student's Score in Assignment: 50 marks
The calculation would proceed as follows:
- Marks from Written Exam: 70% of 80 = 0.70 * 80 = 56 marks
- Marks from Assignment: 30% of 50 = 0.30 * 50 = 15 marks
- Total Marks Awarded: 56 (from TEE) + 15 (from Assignment) = 71 marks
This method ensures that both your comprehensive understanding demonstrated in the final exam and your consistent effort through assignments are reflected in your final course marks.
