IGNOU learners often ask : Is there any provision to improve my IGNOU TEE scores by re-evaluation or resubmitting the assignment or reappearing the exam even after clearing the exam or Passing the IGNOU Credit/Subject? I'm answering here just the reappearing the exam or improvement exam, even after clearing the exam or Passing the IGNOU Credit/Subject. The Answer to this IGNOU FAQ (Frequently asked question) is : Yes, IGNOU allows for improvement Exams , but with a slight twist.

You can appear in the IGNOU improvement exams after completing the IGNOU programme. For IGNOU, improvement exams are  a help given to those IGNOU learners, who marginally get short of getting the First division or Second division marks.

The students of IGNOU Bachelor’s/Master’s degree program, can improve their Division/Class under the above rule, by appearing in term-end examination. The IGNOU improvement exam criteria is as under:

a) The students of Bachelor’s/Master’s degree program, who fall short of 2% marks to secure 2nd and 1st division. b) The students of Master’s degree program only, who fall short 2% marks to secure overall 55% marks.
