IGNOU Grade Card Shows Not Completed: How to Find the Missing Component
Quick answer
If your IGNOU Grade Card shows “Not Completed”, do not treat that line as the diagnosis. First find which course is incomplete, then check which component is missing: assignment, term-end examination, practical, project or another programme-specific requirement. The correct next step depends on the missing component.
“Not Completed” is a final-status symptom
A course can contain more than one evaluation part. For many courses, an assignment and a term-end examination are separate. Some courses also have practical, project, viva or other components. This is why a single overall status cannot tell you which record needs attention.
Start with the exact course code. Then compare the entries shown in the official Grade Card with the term-end or re-evaluation result pages and, where relevant, the marks transmission status.
Find the missing component
| Component | What to check | Useful official record |
|---|---|---|
| Assignment | Is the assignment mark/grade present for the correct course? | Marks transmission status and Grade Card |
| TEE | Is the term-end exam result declared for that course? | Term-End Result and Grade Card |
| Practical | Was the practical completed and has the mark been entered? | Marks transmission/Grade Card, plus Study Centre or RC records |
| Project/Dissertation | Was the report submitted correctly and is a project result/status available? | Project status and Grade Card |
| Viva or programme-specific part | Does your programme guide require a separate component? | Programme guide and Grade Card |
Compare the records in the right order
- Open the Grade Card.
Write down the exact course code that is incomplete. Do not rely on memory or a screenshot from an older session. - Check the relevant result source.
For a theory exam, use the official Term-End / Re-evaluation Result service. For assignment, project or practical transmission, use the official marks transmission status. - Check the programme requirement.
If the course includes practical, project or viva, confirm that you have completed that separate component. - Save the mismatch.
If one official record shows the component and another does not, keep a screenshot of both with the date.
Common situations
Assignment is visible, TEE is missing: focus on the exam result, not assignment submission.
TEE result is visible, assignment is missing: check assignment transmission and your submission proof.
Both theory parts are visible, but the course is still incomplete: check whether the course has a practical, project, viva or another requirement.
A component appears on one official page but not the Grade Card: record the mismatch and raise a focused academic-record query rather than sending a general complaint.
What to do when you identify the missing part
Use the office connected to that component. IGNOU’s contact directory separates assignment, project and practical marks contacts. The Student Evaluation Division handles evaluation-related services and grievances. If the normal route does not resolve the problem, registered students can use iGRAM.
A precise message such as “TEE result is declared for course X, but the Grade Card still shows no exam component” gives IGNOU a clearer starting point.
For assignment-specific problems, use the related marks guide when it is published. You can also browse IGNOU Guides, check your programme structure, and use the Vidyanik Blog for other student-service problems.
Common questions
Can one missing assignment make a course show as not completed?
It can if the assignment is a required evaluation component for that course. Check the exact course record rather than assuming.
Why does the result page show marks but the Grade Card does not?
Different official records can update at different stages. Save both records and raise a focused query if the mismatch remains.
