Who Can Submit Assignments Through OAMS?
The online assignment submission facility is available to eligible learners enrolled in IGNOU's ODL and online programmes.
However, students who have already submitted their assignments through their respective study centres or regional centres do not need to upload the same assignments again through OAMS.
Before submitting an assignment, students should check their existing submission status and confirm the requirements for their courses. This can help prevent duplicate submissions.

Eligible students can follow these steps to submit their assignments online:
1. Visit the IGNOU Samarth portal, ignou.samarth.edu.in
2. Log in using the registered IGNOU Samarth account
3. Open the Online Assignment Management System (OAMS) or the assignment submission section
4. Select the course for which the assignment needs to be submitted
5. Upload the assignment file in the prescribed format
6. Check that the uploaded document is correct and readable
7. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to complete the submission
8. Save the submission confirmation or acknowledgement, if available
Students should carefully read the instructions before uploading their files and ensure that each assignment is submitted for the correct course.
What Should Students Check Before Submitting Assignments?
Students should keep the following points in mind before using the online submission facility:
- Check the deadline: Complete the submission process by November 20, 2026.
- Verify course details: Select the correct course before uploading the assignment.
- Check the file: Ensure that the document is complete, readable and in the required format.
