The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is responsible for conducting the OPENNET examination, which is a substitute for students of their department for undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This online computer-based test makes it possible for the students to sit for examination from the designated exam center affiliated to their regional education board instead of the main regional center. The test is written in June and December without fail. Students can be one of the May or November this year as they like. This exam tests the students' understanding of the basics covered during the last semester's curriculum through multiple choices questions, short answer questions, long answer descriptive questions among other practicum and lab based questions for science subjects only.
Everything oftentimes reaches its completion after 45 days of the test. The period for the June 2023 session application is March 31, 2023 and the practical exam, June 1 -10, 2023. We put the report for the client by July 20, 2023. The appropriate application deadline for the December 2024 exam session is September 30, 2024. The unbiased exam will be carried out from December 1 to 15, 2024. We hope to make the results available by the end of January 31, 2025. Students need to get no less than 35% and 50 % in the practical part/labs and OPENNET theory exams respectively to pass the final examination.
