The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has released the tentative December 2024 Term End Examinations (TEE) exam schedule.

Students enrolled in both Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and online programs can access the timetable on the official IGNOU website, ignou.ac.in. According to the schedule, the exams will begin on December 2 and conclude on January 9, 2025. Examinations are set to be held in two shifts: the morning session from 10 AM to 1 PM and the afternoon session from 2 PM to 5 PM.

In an official notice, IGNOU has advised students of the possibility of last-minute changes to examination centres due to unforeseen circumstances. "In such cases, the University will implement remedial measures. Students are encouraged to stay in touch with their Regional Centers," the notice states. Furthermore, it specifies that answers will only be accepted in the program's language. Students writing in a language other than the designated one will have their scripts cancelled without notification. However, regardless of enrollment in English medium courses, students may choose to write their answers in Hindi, except for language-specific programs.

For students seeking to view the detailed schedule, the process is straightforward. After visiting the official website, students can locate and click the December TEE 2024 exam link, which opens the schedule in PDF format for easy download and future reference.

In addition, IGNOU has opened admissions for its PhD programs as of October 30, 2024. Candidates interested in pursuing doctoral studies can apply via ignouadm.samarth.edu.in. Eligibility criteria include holding a valid UGC NET score with JRF or a qualifying NET score for 2024. The application requires a registration fee of Rs 1,000. Qualified candidates with JRF will proceed directly to the interview stage, which carries full weightage in the admission decision. This announcement offers prospective students an opportunity to advance their academic pursuits in a range of disciplines.
