Short answer: Check your status on the IGNOU assignment status page. If it says “Received” but your marks are missing, wait for few days to update the marks, if it’s not updating, do not just wait. Collect your proof, meet your Study Centre in writing, then move to the Regional Centre, use IGRAM and RTI. The full plan is below

How to Check IGNOU Assignment Status
You can check your IGNOU assignment details by the following method.
- Open the assignment status portal.
- Enter your enrollment number.
- Select your program from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the captcha code.
- Click the “Submit” button
- Open Assignment Transmission Status .
- You will see the status of your submitted assignments.
Status shows only whether your assignment reached the system. Marks are in the Grade Card, which is a different page.
What Each Status Message Means
| Message | Meaning in simple words | Your move |
|---|---|---|
| Received to be Processed | Your assignment is in the system but processing has not started. | Wait and check weekly. |
| Received and in Process | Processing is going on. It can mean evaluation or marks entry is pending. | If stuck for a long time, follow the plan below. |
| Check Grade Card Status for Details | Marks are processed. | Open the Grade Card. |
| No record found | The system cannot find your assignment. | Go to the Study Centre with your slip at once. |
These are the common readings from student cases, so confirm with your Study Centre if the message looks unusual.
Why Your Assignment Status Gets Stuck
- The assignment has not been evaluated yet.
- It was evaluated, but marks have not been entered or uploaded.
- The enrollment number, course code or programme on the front page is wrong or unclear.
- The assignment was never sent from the centre to the evaluator.
You cannot see which one applies to you. That is why your proof matters more than waiting.
Waiting-Time Action Plan (My Suggested Timeline)
IGNOU has no fixed date for marks. This is the plan I suggest to students. The day counts are my advice, not an IGNOU rule.
| Days since submission | What to do |
|---|---|
| 0 to 30 | Check status once a week. Make sure your acknowledgement slip is safe. |
| 30 to 60 | Visit the Study Centre. Ask politely whether your assignment was sent for evaluation. |
| 60 to 90 | Give the written application (sample below). Get a stamped copy. |
| 90+ | Write to the Regional Centre by email and in person. File an IGRAM complaint. |
| After IGRAM gets no real answer | File an RTI. |

Your enrollment number, course code, date of submission, the dates you met the Study Centre and Regional Centre, and one clear request, such as “please update my assignment marks”. Attach your proof. See my full [IGRAM guide] for the portal steps.
RTI for Missing Assignment Marks
Are your marks still missing? You can apply for online RTI.
A reply is due within 30 days under the RTI Act. Ask about dates and actions, not “why are you late”. Specific questions get specific answers.
5 Mistakes That Delay Your Marks
- Throwing away the acknowledgement slip.
- Writing the wrong course code or enrollment number on the front page.
- Only calling the Study Centre and never putting it in writing.
- Waiting for months before asking anyone.
- Filing a complaint with no proof or dates.

FAQ
Why is my IGNOU assignment status not updated?
The assignment may not be evaluated or entered yet, the details may be wrong, or your Study Centre may have changed. Start with your acknowledgement slip.
How do I check IGNOU assignment status for 2026?
Open the official status page, enter your enrollment number, select your programme, enter the captcha and open Assignment Transmission Status.
How many days does IGNOU take to update assignment marks?
There is no fixed time. If it has crossed 60 days, follow the action plan above.
My marks show 0 in the Grade Card. What should I do?
Take a printout and your slip to the Study Centre and ask for a written correction. If there is no action, write to the Regional Centre.
Can I see assignment marks without the Grade Card?
The status page shows submission status only. Marks are normally in the Grade Card.
What if my assignment is lost at the study centre?
Ask the centre to trace it using your slip. Then apply in writing to the Regional Centre. This is why you should keep photos of your assignment.
Are IGNOU assignments compulsory?
Yes. Submit them before the exam. If you miss one, you can submit it in the next session.
Conclusion
Status tells you if your assignment was received. The Grade Card shows your marks. If marks are missing, keep your proof, put every request in writing, and go in this order: Study Centre, Regional Centre, IGRAM, RTI.
Sir, i submitted my assignment through offline mode. But still sttus not updated. How many days taken by study centre in updating assignments marks.
It usually takes a minimum of 3-4 months due to covid19, to update the assignment record on the student management system. So don’t worry about your assignment status.
Due to Corona, assignments were submitted online via mail for my June 2020 TEE in April and exams were conducted in September. Results came by December but marks for 2 of my assignments are not showing on my grade card, neither on my assignment status page. Contacted the study centre, they said that they’ve received all the assignments and they should be up anytime. What else should I do?
If your study centre is saying that your assignment is submitted, don’t worry about the assignment probably they will update within 45 days
