How to Submit IGNOU MCOM Project Online: A Step-by-Step Guide for Students
Submission of the IGNOU MCOM project can feel more difficult that writing it. The reason isn't because the procedure is complicated, but because the instructions are scattered, the dates change the deadlines are not fixed, and even a small error can delay your result throughout the whole session. Students usually finish their reports with confidence, only to stumble upon the last step, which is the online form.
If you are preparing for the submission of your MCOM work to IGNOU and are looking for a flawless and error-free online submission, this guide will guide you through the entire process as it unfolds, from eligibility to final confirmation.
This is written for students seeking clarity and not confusion.
Understanding the IGNOU MCOM Project Submission System
IGNOU has shifted most submissions for projects from paper-based submissions to the website in order to reduce paper work and regional centre dependency. In the case of MCOM learners, the same applies to course projects like:
MCOM Project (MCO-005 or updated codes as per syllabus)
Project Work under CBCS pattern
The online submission process does not suggest uploading random file anytime. IGNOU uses a session-based system which means that submissions can be approved only within a certain timeframe.
Before you do anything else, it is necessary to check three points:
The project you propose to implement has been deemed acceptable
Your enrollment will be valid for the time period you selected.
The online portal is open
Not completing any of these results in rejection.
Step 1: Confirm Your Project Proposal Approval
This is perhaps the most misunderstood step.
IGNOU do have a policy of not accept reports on projects in the event that the proposal or synopsis is approved. Approval usually comes from your regional centre or your project evaluation division, based on what session you are in.
Before submitting online, be sure you:
You received approval confirmation (email an update to status, or Record of RC)
Your topic title in the final report exactly matches the approved title
All of your numbers of enrollment and the code for your course are correct
Even small changes to the title could result in technical rejection to be rescinded.
If you're unclear about approval status, you should contact your local center before uploading anything.
Step 2: Check the Online Submission Dates
IGNOU offers the project submission portal only during specific cycles generally in line with:
June Term-End Examination
December Term-End Examination
A missed deadline means that you must wait until the following session.
Check:
Official IGNOU website notifications
Student portal announcements
News from your local centre
Never rely on old dates on blogs, or WhatsApp forwards.
Step 3: Prepare Your Project File Properly
This is where most students go wrong.
IGNOU accepts for only one PDF to be used for the report. The file must be hygienic accessible, readable, and correctly formatted.
File Requirements
Format: Only PDF
File size: typically under 10-20 MB (varies depending on the portal)
Sprache: English (unless your program lets you use another language)
The page order must be correct
What the PDF Should Contain
The PDF file you download should include:
Cover page
Copy of the approval letter
Declarative statement by student
Certificate issued by guide
Acknowledgement
Index
All chapters
Bibliography
Appendices (if they exist))
Don't send separate files for certificates or annexures unless the portal specifically asks for it.
Step 4: Keep These Details Ready Before Uploading
Before opening your portal, keep the following information ready to avoid session timeout:
Enrollment number
Programme code (MCOM)
"Course Code" (Project code)
Study centre code
Regional centre code
Project guide details
Approved project title
Valid email ID
Mobile number
Rapid typing can lead to mistakes that can't edit later.
Step 5: Visit the Official IGNOU Project Submission Portal
IGNOU MCOM Project Support provides a dedicated link to submit online submission of projects. The link might alter from session-to-session So, make sure you use it through the official IGNOU site.
When you are on the portal:
Select your programme
Be sure to enter your enrollment numbers carefully.
Confirm your personal details on the screen
If your personal details don't appear correctly, stop then and contact IGNOU support prior to taking any further steps.
Step 6: Fill the Online Submission Form Carefully
The structure is simple, yet extremely difficult.
You are asked to enter:
Programme name
Course code
Project title
Guide name and qualification
Contact information for the institution or address
Study centre details
It is important to ensure that:
Spellings align with your report
The course codes are correct
Guide Specifications are exactly as endorsed
The inconsistency of the data on forms and projects' content is a regular reason for rejecting.
Step 7: Upload the Project PDF
This is time-consuming and requires patience.
Only upload the final PDF
The upload bar should be waited until it is at 100%
Do not close or refresh the tab after midway.
If your internet isn't working then wait until you can upload again. Uploads that are corrupted can't be fixed after being submitted.
Once uploaded, take a look at it if the website permits it.
Step 8: Submit and Save the Acknowledgement Slip
After all is filled in:
Go through each entry thoroughly
Click the submit button
After submission, the system generates:
A confirmation message
Acknowledgement slip or reference number
Save this acknowledgment. Copy a screenshot to backup. This is evidence of your submission.
Without this, there is no proof if problems arise later.
Step 9: Do You Need to Send a Hard Copy?
For the most recent sessions the submission of hard copies is not required as an option for MCOM projects submitted online.
However:
Some regional centers might ask for it.
Rules can be different depending on the session.
Always confirm the information with your regional centre. Do not send physical copies unless officially instructed.
Common Mistakes Students Make (Avoid These)
Here are the errors that delay outcome or cause rejection
Submitting without proposal approval
Uploading the wrong course code
A slight change in the project's name
Uploading scanned images rather than text PDF
Missing guide certificate
Submitting after deadline
Not but for a saving of acknowledgement
Most problems can be avoided through one well-read read.
What Happens After Submission?
After submission successfully:
IGNOU forwards your idea to review
The process of evaluation can take weeks or months
Marks appear on grade cards as soon as the grade card is updated.
There is no separate notification of evaluation completion via email. You need to check:
IGNOU grade card portal
Result updates during TEE cycles
Patience is part of the process.
If You Face Issues During Online Submission
If the portal shows any errors such as:
Incomplete enrollment
File upload failed
Page doesn't respond
Try these steps:
Consider using a laptop rather than a mobile
Switch browser (Chrome works best)
Clear cache

If the issue continues If the issue persists, please contact:
IGNOU Student Service Centre

Support via email and images
Never wait till the last day.
