IGNOU Project: Find Your Project Course, Then Build the Synopsis and Report File
Start with the course code on your registration. It decides where your synopsis goes, how long the report runs, where it is sent and whether a viva follows.
An IGNOU project is the course in your programme that is marked on a study you plan, research and write up yourself: a project, dissertation, internship or field project carrying 2 to 16 credits in the July 2026 Common Prospectus. Its course code settles the rest: the office that approves your synopsis, the length and binding of the report, the address it goes to and whether a viva follows. Find your code first, then build each paper to that course's own guidelines.
- 2 to 16credits carried by project, dissertation and internship courses in the July 2026 prospectus
- Rs 300 / 500IGNOU's evaluation fee, up to 4 credits or above, paid with the Term-End Examination form
- 121programmes in our course finder, each copied by hand from its prospectus page
- 1 PDFper course when IGNOU takes reports online, with your particulars on page one
- 2010the year our desk began working with IGNOU distance learners
- The Common Prospectus says that for project work a project guide in booklet form is supplied with the study material (page 24). That booklet outranks any website, this one included.
- IGNOU's project evaluation fee is Rs 300 for project work of up to 4 credits and Rs 500 above, paid with the Term-End Examination form, for learners admitted from the January 2023 cycle (prospectus page 27). The June 2026 portal notice adds that a report is not evaluated if the fee was not paid with the form.
- The MCSP-232 guidelines of MCA_NEW (the edition labelled July 2024 and January 2025) say the proposal must go to your Regional Director and "under no circumstances" to SOCIS; the bound report goes there too, and the viva is compulsory.
- MMPP-001 and BMPP-001 both send one bound copy of the report to the Registrar (SED), yet their lengths differ: about 50 to 60 double-spaced pages for MMPP-001, about 60 to 80 for BMPP-001.
- The online project portal does not take a synopsis on its own. The approved proforma, synopsis, guide's bio-data and signed originality certificate go with the report, wherever the course uses them, and reports sent by email are not considered (June 2026 notice).
What an IGNOU Project Is: One Word, Six Kinds of Course
An IGNOU project is any course in your programme that is assessed on a study you research and write up yourself, in place of a term-end paper. The programme tables of the July 2026 Common Prospectus print these courses under six kinds of title: project or project work, dissertation, internship, field or research project, a case study offered as an alternative, and project manual.
Students who search for IGNOU projects usually need one of these courses, and only the course code tells them apart. Searches for IGNOU thesis help usually mean the dissertation: the word "thesis" is not a course title anywhere in the July 2026 programme tables. Whatever the title, IGNOU project work follows the booklet and guidelines of its own course.
| Kind of course | Examples as printed in the prospectus | Credits and page |
|---|---|---|
| Project or project work | MCOP 001 Project (MCOM); MMPP-001 project course (MBA family); BMPP 001 Project (BBA); MCSP 232 Project (MCA_NEW); BCSP 165 Project (BCA_NEW) | 6 (p. 60); 8 (p. 61); 8 (p. 217); 12 (p. 79); 12 (p. 214) |
| Dissertation | MESP 1 (MAEDU); MRDP 1 (MARD); MPYP 1 (MAPY); BANE 154 (BSCANH) | 10 (p. 86); 12 (p. 82); 4 (p. 91); 6 (p. 238) |
| Internship | MLII 105 (MLIS); MSWL 16 (MSW); BLII 230 (BLIS); BRLP 101 Internship, Work Book and Viva-Voce (BBARIL) | 4 (p. 76); 8 (p. 84); 4 (p. 214); 16 (p. 215) |
| Field or research project | MHCP 001 Field Project and MHCP 002 Research Project (MSCHSC); MGSP 1 and MGSP 2 (MAGD) | 4 and 6 (p. 83); 4 each (p. 108) |
| Case study as an alternative | MAET 001 Case Study/Internship, offered in place of MAEP 001 Dissertation (MAAE) | 10 (p. 89) |
| Project manual | MFCP 005 Project Manual (MAFCS); BCDP 101 Project Manual-1 (CESEIVI) | 8 (p. 93); 8 (p. 346) |

Which project course is mine?
Built from the programme tables of IGNOU's Common Prospectus, July 2026, read in October 2026. It shows what the prospectus prints and nothing more.
This finder needs JavaScript. If this line stays visible, use the table above and your Programme Guide instead.
Each of the 121 programmes is a row copied by hand from the prospectus page shown in the result, with that programme's project, dissertation, internship and field courses and their credits. The fee line follows page 27 of the same prospectus: Rs 300 for project work of up to 4 credits and Rs 500 above, paid with the Term-End Examination form. Where a course is an internship, the finder says so instead of applying the project fee line. Codes this prospectus does not print, such as MAPC's MPCE courses, MS-100 or BCSP-064, return a note instead of a guess.
Four Manuals, Four Answers to the Same Questions
Two students can both be doing an IGNOU project and still follow opposite rules, because each School writes its own manual. The table sets the four manuals we read side by side: the MMPP-001 guidelines of the School of Management Studies, the BBA project guidelines (BMPP-001), the MCSP-232 guidelines of MCA_NEW (July 2024 edition) and the MLIS Programme Guide of July 2022.
| Question | MMPP-001 (MBA family) | BMPP-001 (BBA) | MCSP-232 (MCA_NEW, July 2024 edition) | MLIP-002 (MLIS) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credits (prospectus) | 8 | 8 | 12 | 4 |
| Proposal goes to | Regional Director of your own Regional Centre, envelope marked "MMPP-001" | Regional Director of your Regional Centre or the designated one; by hand, registered post or courier, or as a soft copy on the LMS portal | Regional Director of your Regional Centre, never SOCIS | Programme Coordinator, MLIS, SOSS, Maidan Garhi, or a soft copy by email; one or the other, not both |
| Who may guide, at most | 5 students at a time | 5 students at a time | 5 MCA students at a time | No limit stated |
| Report length | About 50 to 60 double-spaced pages, not more than about 18,000 words | About 60 to 80 double-spaced pages | About 100 to 125 pages of documentation, coding excluded, single spacing, one side of A4 | No limit stated |
| Report goes to | Registrar (SED), Maidan Garhi, one bound copy, envelope marked "PROJECT REPORT-MMPP-001" | Registrar (SED), Maidan Garhi, one typed copy | Regional Director, one bound original by registered insured post; a photocopy is not accepted | Registrar (SED), or the online portal when it is notified |
| Viva | Only if the evaluator recommends it | Not mentioned in the guidelines | Compulsory, face to face at the Regional Centre; report 150 marks, viva 50, 40 percent needed in each | None described in the 2022 guide |
| One extra paper to remember | Guide's bio-data signed in original, unless the guide is an approved counsellor | Remuneration bill for guidance (Rs 300), sent separately | A certified copy of the guide's identity proof with the proposal, and a CD of the executables with the report | Guide's signed bio-data with the synopsis |
Each column is built from that course's own document, read in October 2026; the MLIS column from the July 2022 Programme Guide. MBA (Online) learners use the LMS portal for MMPP-001 instead.
The IGNOU MCA project under MCA_NEW is the sharpest contrast. MCSP-232 gives fixed windows for proposals (1 April to 30 June, 1 October to 31 December) and for reports (1 July to 30 September, 1 January to 31 March), and the document contradicts itself twice: it gives approval times of 30 days, four to six weeks and six to eight weeks, and synopsis lengths of 14 to 18 and 15 to 20 pages. Plan for the longer figure in each case. This comparison uses the edition labelled July 2024 and January 2025, the one IGNOU's MCA_NEW assignments page links; a newer July 2026 edition is on eGyanKosh, so read it before you plan.
The IGNOU BCA project in the BCA_NEW table is BCSP 165, worth 12 credits; its guidelines were not part of this comparison, so read them on the SOCIS pages before you send anything. When IGNOU opens its online portal for a cycle, reports of the courses it covers are uploaded instead of posted: the June 2026 page closed on 15 June 2026 and listed DECE-04 under a separate link.
IGNOU प्रोजेक्ट वह कोर्स है जिसमें आपको अपना अध्ययन खुद योजना बनाकर, शोध करके और लिखकर जमा करना होता है। कौन-सा कोर्स कोड आपका है, यही तय करता है कि सिनॉप्सिस कहाँ जाएगा, रिपोर्ट कितनी लंबी होगी और कहाँ भेजी जाएगी। MMPP-001 में सिनॉप्सिस अपने क्षेत्रीय केंद्र के रीजनल डायरेक्टर को और रिपोर्ट रजिस्ट्रार (SED), मैदान गढ़ी को जाती है, जबकि MCSP-232 में रिपोर्ट भी रीजनल डायरेक्टर को जाती है और वाइवा अनिवार्य है। प्रोजेक्ट मूल्यांकन शुल्क 4 क्रेडिट तक 300 रुपये और उससे ऊपर 500 रुपये है, जो TEE फॉर्म के साथ जमा होता है। ऑनलाइन पोर्टल पर हर कोर्स की रिपोर्ट एक ही PDF में जाती है और ईमेल से भेजी गई रिपोर्ट स्वीकार नहीं होती। यह वेबसाइट IGNOU की आधिकारिक साइट नहीं है।
Your IGNOU Synopsis Envelope, Paper by Paper
An IGNOU synopsis is the plan of your study that IGNOU approves before the report begins, and it never travels alone. For an IGNOU project synopsis under MMPP-001, the guidelines list five contents: introduction, rationale, objectives, research methodology and limitations, with the methodology covering design, the nature and source of data, sample and sampling technique with the reasons for the chosen organisation and sample, the tools for data collection, the method of collection and the statistical tools tied to the objectives.

Keep a full copy and the postal or hand-delivery receipt at home. The topic is yours to choose within one of the three project types MMPP-001 permits: a case study of one organisation, an inter-organisational study, or a field study.
The MMPP-001 proforma, box by box
| Box on the proforma | Who fills it | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Enrolment No., Study Centre, Regional Centre | You | Your current enrolment number; an approval held on an old number after re-admission needs fresh approval |
| Project Proposal No. | The Regional Centre | Leave it blank |
| Subject Area | You | Write one area the guidelines list: HRM and OB, Accounting and Finance, Operations Management and Information System, Marketing, Corporate Management, or Any Other |
| Name, address and email of the student | You | Every line filled |
| Topic of the Project | You | Word for word the title on your synopsis; the report must later carry the approved title unchanged |
| Name and address of the supervisor | Your guide | Full official address |
| Is the supervisor an academic counsellor of the Management Programme of IGNOU? If yes, study centre code | Your guide | A "yes" removes the need for bio-data |
| Courses he or she counsels for; number of students being guided | Your guide | Not more than five students at any time |
| Signatures and dates of student and supervisor | Both of you | Two signatures and two dates; a missing one is a return reason in the guidelines |
| Office use: evaluator's signature, date and comments; Approved or Not Approved for the synopsis and for the supervisor; countersignature of the Regional Director or Assistant Regional Director | IGNOU | The synopsis and the supervisor are judged separately, so a sound synopsis can still return if the guide is not approved |
Have the Envelope Read Before It Is Sealed
Our IGNOU project correction desk marks your own synopsis or report against your course's guidelines and returns it with every change listed, for Rs 1,000 a synopsis and Rs 2,000 a report.
Your synopsis envelope, read for
- All five MMPP-001 contents, in order
- Objectives stated neutrally, assuming no finding
- Every part of the methodology, with the reason for the organisation and the sample
- Proforma boxes complete, two signatures, two dates

You remain the author of your synopsis and report. IGNOU's evaluator decides approval.
The Guide's Papers: Who May Sign, and the Five-Student Limit
Every IGNOU project with a guide puts that person's eligibility on paper, and each course draws the line in a different place.
| Course | Who may guide | Papers from the guide |
|---|---|---|
| MMPP-001 | SOMS faculty at headquarters; approved academic counsellors of the Management Programme; management faculty with five years of postgraduate teaching; professionals with a master's in management or an allied discipline and five years in the relevant area. At most five students at a time. | Proforma signature and date; bio-data signed in original unless an approved counsellor |
| BMPP-001 | Commerce and management faculty at SOMS headquarters; approved academic counsellors of BBA, B.Com, M.Com and MBA; professionals such as CA, CS, ICWA or engineers, and M.Com or MBA holders, each with five years' experience. At most five students. | Proforma and bio-data; a remuneration bill (Rs 300) sent separately |
| MCSP-232 | PhD or M.Tech in Computer Science with one year's experience, or B.E./B.Tech (Computer Science), MCA or M.Sc (Computer Science) with two years. At most five MCA students. | Bio-data signed and dated, with a certified copy of identity proof |
| MLIP-002 | PhD in Library and Information Science, or a master's in it with work in a library or information centre or in teaching; in both cases Assistant Professor scale or Pay Level 10. | Signed bio-data with the synopsis |
Bio-data checklist for an MMPP-001 guide
- Name and date of birth.
- Full address and contact numbers of residence and current workplace.
- Detailed educational qualifications: degree, specialisation, institution, year and percentage.
- Work experience in chronological order.
- Any other information that helps IGNOU judge eligibility, signed in original.
When the Approval Letter Comes Back
The answer to an IGNOU project proposal comes back in writing, and under MMPP-001 the guidelines say it arrives within two to three months of receipt, with a Project Proposal number allotted on acceptance. The evaluator marks the synopsis and the supervisor separately, may add comments, and the Regional Director or Assistant Regional Director countersigns.
- Approved with comments: work every comment into the report; the title stays exactly as approved.
- Not approved: send a revised proposal, a fresh proforma, a copy of the rejected proposal carrying the evaluator's comments, and the PP number.
- Changing the guide: a new proforma signed by the new guide, treated as a new proposal.
- Re-admitted on a new enrolment number: get fresh approval on the new number.
To see where a submitted project stands, check the status IGNOU shows against your enrolment number on its website; if it has not moved for several weeks, write to your Regional Centre and quote that number.
What the IGNOU Project Report File Must Carry
An IGNOU project report is judged with the papers bound around it: the MMPP-001 guidelines say a report received without any of the required documents is returned to the student for compliance. The order below marks which pages the guidelines require and which are common practice.
| Order | Page or section | Rule behind it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cover page: your name and enrolment number, the guide's name, the title | MMPP-001 guidelines |
| 2 | Certificate of originality, signed and dated by you and your guide | MMPP-001 guidelines |
| 3 | Approved proposal, approved proforma and guide's bio-data, bound in | MMPP-001 guidelines (the position is our convention) |
| 4 | Acknowledgement; list of tables and figures | Common practice |
| 5 | Detailed table of contents, every page numbered to match | MMPP-001 guidelines |
| 6 | Introduction with review of literature and organisation details; research methodology with reliability and validity of tools; results and discussion; summary and conclusion; recommendations; limitations, with direction for further research as an option | MMPP-001 report structure |
| 7 | References and bibliography; annexures, including the questionnaire | MMPP-001 report structure |
| 8 | Copy of the project fee receipt | June 2026 portal notice |
The certificate, as the MMPP-001 guidelines print it: "This is to certify that the project titled ______ is an original work of the Student and is being submitted in partial fulfilment for the award of the Master's Degree in Business Administration of Indira Gandhi National Open University. This report has not been submitted earlier either to this University or to any other University/Institution for the fulfilment of the requirement of a course of study." It is signed by the supervisor and the student, each with place and date.
Inside the IGNOU project file: what is required and what is habit
The guidelines require the four cover items, the certificate, the bound approval papers, a numbered contents page and the chapters; they do not set a font, a margin or a cover design. Acknowledgements and lists of tables are habits that help a reader, not rules.
Binding, Printing and the One-PDF Upload
Most IGNOU project reports end at a binding counter or a scanner. MMPP-001 and BMPP-001 ask for A-4 pages typed in double space in a bound volume, with the approval papers bound in and not stapled; MCSP-232 asks for single spacing on one side of A4 and one bound original, and says a photocopy is not accepted.
IGNOU project submission through the online portal follows the notice of each cycle. The June 2026 notice asked for:
- One PDF per course, scanned clearly, every page upright and in sequence.
- A first page carrying the title, your name, programme code, enrolment number as on the ID card, Regional Centre code, course code, and mobile number with email.
- The approved proforma, synopsis, guide's bio-data and signed originality certificate inside the same file, wherever they apply.
- A copy of the fee receipt with the report; reports sent by email are not considered.
Queries about a submitted report go to your Regional Centre's email or to projects@ignou.ac.in, and the viva is arranged under the Regional Centre's guidelines. We could not open a December 2026 upload page when this page was built, so read the notice for your own cycle on onlineproject.ignou.ac.in.
Report file and print planner
An estimate. Each course sets its own length and binding; the words per page used here (about 250 double-spaced, about 450 single-spaced) are our assumption, not an IGNOU rule.
This planner needs JavaScript. If this line stays visible, use the four-manual table above for lengths and addresses.
Chapter pages are your word count divided by 250 for a double-spaced course or 450 for MCSP-232's single spacing, rounded up. About six opening pages are added for the cover, certificate, approval papers and contents, plus the annexure pages you enter. The result is compared with the length the course's own document states: about 50 to 60 pages and 18,000 words for MMPP-001, about 60 to 80 pages for BMPP-001, about 100 to 125 pages for MCSP-232, and no limit for MLIP-002. The bound order and the address come from the same documents.

What Students Ask Before They Print
Can I buy an IGNOU project online and submit it?
A search for IGNOU project buy online turns up ready-made reports. IGNOU's own papers ask you and your guide to sign a certificate that the work is original and has not been submitted before. The data in your report, too, has to come from the study you carried out yourself.
Is an IGNOU dissertation different from a project or a thesis?
Mostly in name. MESP-001 of MAEDU is titled a dissertation and MMPP-001 a project course, yet both run on an approved proposal and a written report. "Thesis" is not a course title in the July 2026 programme tables; what differs is each course's own list of components, length and route.
Where does my IGNOU project synopsis go?
To the office your course names. Under MMPP-001, BMPP-001 and MCSP-232 it goes to the Regional Director of your Regional Centre; an MLIP-002 synopsis goes to the Programme Coordinator, MLIS, at SOSS in Maidan Garhi. The online project portal does not accept a synopsis on its own.
My synopsis was not approved. What do I send again?
Under MMPP-001: a revised proposal, a fresh proforma, a copy of the rejected proposal with the evaluator's comments, and the PP number.
How many pages should the report be?
The figure belongs to your course: about 50 to 60 double-spaced pages and not more than about 18,000 words for MMPP-001, about 60 to 80 for BMPP-001, about 100 to 125 single-spaced pages of documentation for MCSP-232, and no limit in the 2022 MLIS guide.
What fee do I pay IGNOU, and when?
Rs 300 for a project course of up to 4 credits and Rs 500 above, paid with the Term-End Examination form, for learners admitted from the January 2023 cycle (Common Prospectus July 2026, page 27). This is IGNOU's fee, not ours.
How do I check my project status?
Status is shown on IGNOU's student pages against your enrolment number. If it has not changed for several weeks, write to your Regional Centre and quote that number.
Is ignouproject.in IGNOU's official website?
No. It is an independent site of Shri Chakradhar Publication Private Limited, New Delhi. IGNOU's official website is ignou.ac.in.
Before Your IGNOU Project File Leaves Your Hands
Before the IGNOU project file is posted, uploaded or handed in, run five checks against your own course's document:
- The right office for this stage: Regional Director, SOSS or the Registrar (SED).
- Every signature and date the proforma and the certificate ask for.
- A guide your course allows, with the papers that course asks the guide for.
- One title everywhere, exactly as approved.
- A full copy and a receipt or upload confirmation kept at home.
