2. About IGNOUConnect
IGNOUConnect is an independently developed student platform intended to make commonly needed academic information easier to review and understand.
The website may provide tools and resources related to grade cards, results, assignment information, percentage estimation, programme information, guides and educational articles.
IGNOUConnect is not an official university portal and does not represent Indira Gandhi National Open University.
3. Independent platform and no affiliation with IGNOU
IGNOUConnect is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).
References to IGNOU, its programmes, courses, examinations, academic records or related services are made for the purpose of providing relevant student information and identifying the subject of the content.
Official IGNOU websites, notices, records and communications remain the appropriate source for university decisions and official academic information.
4. Responsible use of the website
You agree to use IGNOUConnect only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with the operation, availability, security or experience of the website for other users.
Use accurate information
When using contact or support features, provide information that is relevant and sufficiently accurate to explain your request.
Use the tools appropriately
Use academic utilities for their intended student-oriented purposes and do not deliberately submit misleading or abusive requests.
Respect website limits
Do not use automated requests, scripts or other methods in a way that creates unreasonable load or interferes with the operation of the platform.
Protect your own information
Do not submit passwords, payment credentials, authentication codes or other information that is not necessary for the feature you are using.
5. Prohibited activities
You must not use IGNOUConnect to damage, disrupt, abuse, bypass or interfere with the website or its supporting systems.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to website systems or accounts.
Introduce malware, malicious code or other harmful material.
Attempt to bypass rate limits, access controls or other technical restrictions.
Use automated requests in a way that causes excessive or unreasonable load.
Probe, test or attack the website or its infrastructure without authorization.
Copy, reproduce or redistribute substantial portions of website content without permission.
Impersonate IGNOUConnect, its operators or another person.
Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent or abusive activity.
6. Academic information and educational resources
IGNOUConnect provides informational resources and student utilities related to IGNOU academic topics. These resources are intended to help users review, understand and organize information.
Programme rules, assessment arrangements, examination requirements, academic procedures and university decisions may vary by programme, course, academic session or applicable university policy.
You are responsible for verifying important academic information through the appropriate official IGNOU source before relying on it for a formal decision.
7. Grade-card and result-related tools
Some IGNOUConnect tools allow students to review available academic information such as course-level marks, assignment information, examination information and related status details.
The availability of academic information may depend on the underlying record and the time at which the information is accessed. Different components may not necessarily appear at the same time.
IGNOUConnect does not create, alter, correct or officially certify IGNOU academic records.
If information displayed through the website differs from your official records, the official IGNOU record should take priority.
8. Percentage calculations and estimates
IGNOUConnect may provide percentage calculations or estimates using available academic information and a supported calculation method.
For applicable theory courses, a 70% term-end examination and 30% assignment weighting may be used where that structure applies. The relevant programme or course may have a different evaluation structure.
Because programme structures, practical or project components, missing information and record updates can affect academic calculations, a percentage shown by IGNOUConnect should be treated as an estimate rather than a guaranteed official university calculation.
Before using a percentage for admission, employment, eligibility, examination or another formal purpose, verify the applicable requirements and official academic record.
9. Information and content submitted by users
Users may submit information through contact forms, feedback forms or other interactive features where available.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you submit is lawful, relevant and does not knowingly contain malicious code, confidential credentials or another person's private information without appropriate authorization.
Contact submissions may be reviewed for the purpose of responding to the request, maintaining website operations, investigating problems or improving the platform, subject to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
10. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, original IGNOUConnect content, including its written material, website structure, original graphics, interface elements, branding and source code, is owned by or used by IGNOUConnect under applicable rights.
You may access and use publicly available content for personal, informational and lawful purposes.
Reproducing, republishing, redistributing, selling or substantially copying original IGNOUConnect content without appropriate permission is not permitted except where allowed by applicable law.
IGNOU names, trademarks, logos and other third-party intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.
11. External websites and links
IGNOUConnect may link to external websites when a link is useful for students or helps them verify information.
External websites operate independently from IGNOUConnect. We do not control their content, availability, security, privacy practices or terms.
Visiting an external website is subject to that website's own terms and privacy policies.
12. Third-party services and advertising
The website may use third-party services for functions such as analytics, advertising, email delivery, hosting, infrastructure, security and other operational requirements.
These providers may process information according to their own terms, privacy policies and technical configurations.
IGNOUConnect may display advertisements through services such as Google AdSense. Advertising content is provided by third-party advertising systems and may vary by visitor, location and other factors.
13. Website availability and changes
We aim to keep IGNOUConnect available and functioning properly, but continuous or uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed.
Parts of the website may occasionally become unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, infrastructure problems, third-party service interruptions or circumstances beyond reasonable control.
Features, tools, content and website structure may also be changed, updated, suspended or discontinued as the platform develops.
14. Content updates and corrections
We may update, correct or remove website content when information changes, errors are identified, or a page is no longer useful.
An older version of a page may therefore not always reflect the latest information available elsewhere.
If you believe that a page contains incorrect, unclear or outdated information, you can report it through the Contact page.
15. Information disclaimer
IGNOUConnect provides its website, tools and informational resources for general student and educational purposes.
Although reasonable efforts may be made to keep information useful and current, we do not guarantee that every item of information will always be complete, current, error-free or suitable for every academic situation.
Calculations, estimates, explanations and other derived information should be considered informational rather than official university determinations.
Users remain responsible for confirming information that is important to them through the appropriate official source.
16. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, IGNOUConnect and its operators are not responsible for losses or consequences arising solely from a user's reliance on informational content, estimates, calculations, temporary website availability issues or third-party services.
This does not limit any responsibility or liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.
17. Suspension or restriction of access
We may restrict, suspend or block access to parts of IGNOUConnect when reasonably necessary to protect the website, users, infrastructure or third-party services, or when there is evidence of abuse, excessive automated traffic, unauthorized access attempts or other activity that violates these Terms.
18. Privacy
Your use of the website is also subject to the Privacy Policy, which explains how information may be collected, used and handled in connection with IGNOUConnect.
19. Changes to these Terms
These Terms may be updated when the website, services, applicable requirements or operational practices change.
When changes are made, the effective date displayed on this page may be updated. You should review the current version of the Terms when using the website.
20. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
21. No waiver
A failure to enforce a particular provision of these Terms does not necessarily mean that the provision has been permanently waived.

These Terms are intended to be interpreted in accordance with the applicable laws of India, subject to any mandatory legal requirements that may apply.
