How to check your BBA project status and result

Short answer: Open IGNOU’s Assignment/Project/Practical status page, enter your enrolment number and programme code, and submit. A status shows only after marks have been sent on by the evaluating centre; the final result appears on your grade card.

  • Status not showing yet? That is normal until evaluation is complete and marks are sent on.
  • Viva: The BMPP-001 guideline doesn’t describe a viva.
  • Marks not updated after the result? Write to projects@ignou.ac.in with your enrolment number, programme code, course code and submission details (OPMS screenshot or PR number).
  • Synopsis approval status: your Regional Centre (or the office you sent it to) sends the approval letter. Ask them if nothing arrives within the stated time.
