IGNOU Revaluation Process: A Complete Guide for Students
Many IGNOU students work hard on their Term-End Exams (TEE) but sometimes feel their results don’t reflect their true performance. In such cases, IGNOU offers a Revaluation Process — a formal mechanism to get your answer script re-checked.
If you believe there’s a possibility of error in evaluation, this article will guide you step-by-step through the IGNOU revaluation process, eligibility, application procedure, fee structure, and tips to avoid common mistakes.
📘 What is IGNOU Revaluation?
Revaluation in IGNOU means your TEE answer script will be re-evaluated by another examiner (different from the original). It’s applicable only for theory papers, not practicals, assignments, or project work.
✅ Purpose: To ensure fair evaluation and give students a second chance if marks were unfairly low.
🎓 Who Can Apply for Revaluation?
You can apply for revaluation if:
- You have appeared for the Term-End Examination
- The result of that exam has been officially declared
- You apply within 30 days from the date of result declaration
⚠️ Late applications are not accepted under any circumstances
