Ordering from IGNOU Buddy

How do I get study material from IGNOU Buddy?

Send your course code on WhatsApp. We tell you what is available for that code and the price before you pay, and send a free sample where one is available. After payment, the material is sent to you on WhatsApp.

Can I see a sample before I pay?

Ask on WhatsApp with your course code. We tell you whether a free sample is available for that code before you pay.

Do you have material for my course?

Send us your course code (for example MMPC-005 or MCS-211). We confirm what we have for that code before you decide.

Is IGNOU Buddy part of IGNOU?

No. IGNOU Buddy is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by IGNOU. For official information, use IGNOU’s website (links below).

What is your refund policy?

See our refund policy in the Terms of Use (section 4). How we handle your details is in our Privacy Policy.

Previous year papers and guess papers

Where can I download IGNOU previous year question papers?

IGNOU publishes them free on its question paper archive. Our previous year question papers page lists them by programme, with the free IGNOU paper for each course.

Does IGNOU give answers to previous year papers?

IGNOU’s archive has the papers without answers. Solved papers come from independent publishers such as IGNOU Buddy.

What is an IGNOU guess paper?

A shortlist of questions to revise for one course, with answers. See IGNOU solved guess papers by programme.

Are guess papers the real exam questions?

No. Nobody knows the exam questions in advance. A guess paper helps you decide what to revise first; revise the full syllabus too.

How many years of papers should I practise?

Our suggestion: start with 3 years (up to 6 papers, since IGNOU holds two term-end exams a year), which shows how the paper is usually set. Take 5 years (up to 10 papers) if you start early or are re-appearing.

IGNOU projects

Where can I find help with my IGNOU project?

Start with the IGNOU project guide, then open your programme: MBA, MCA, BCA, M.Com, BBA, MSW, BSW, MAJMC or MA Economics. For the MBA project course MMPP-001, see MBA project help (MMPP-001).

Who decides whether my project is approved?

IGNOU’s project guidelines for your programme set the process. Follow those guidelines and your study centre’s instructions.

IGNOU assignments

Where does IGNOU publish assignment questions?

On its assignments page, by programme and session. Check the submission rules and last date announced by IGNOU or your regional centre.

Do you have solved assignments?

Yes, for many courses. See IGNOU solved assignments, or the masters, bachelors and other courses pages, and send your course code to confirm.

Can I submit a solved assignment as it is?

Use a solved assignment to understand how to answer, then write your submission in your own words and follow the submission instructions IGNOU gives for your programme.

Official IGNOU links: admission, exams and results

IGNOU announces dates and results on its own website. We do not repost dates here, because they change; use these official pages instead.
