3. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM
The methodology of instruction in Indira Gandhi National Open University is different from that in the
conventional universities. The Open University system is more learner-oriented, and the learner has to be
an active participant in the teaching-learning process. The PGDAST programme instructional system
includes self-learning print materials, assignments and counselling sessions at the programme/study
centres.
The IGNOU follows the ‘Credit System’ for its programmes. Each credit is of 30 hours of study
comprising all learning activities. Thus, a four-credit course involves 120 study hours. This helps learners
to understand the academic effort he/she has to put into successfully completing a course. Completion of

16
the Programme requires successful completion of both assignments and the Term -End Examination
of each course in the programme.
3.1 Print Material
Printed materials are the primary form of instructional materials. These are supplied to the learners in the
form of several booklets called blocks. A block, which comes in the form of a booklet, comprises several
units. The first page of each block indicates the numbers and titles of the units comprising the block. In
the first block of each course, we start with course introduction. This is followed by a brief introduction
to the block.
Please read the Course Introduction and the Block Introduction carefully as these will give you an
overview of the Course and Block, respectively.
Each unit begins with an introduction in which we tell the learners about the contents of the unit. We also
outline a list of objectives which we expected from learners to achieve after working through the units.
This is followed by the main body of the unit, which is divided into various sections and sub-sections. We
finish each unit by summarizing its contents. In each unit, there are several examples and exercises. These
are meant to help the learner to assess his/her understanding of the subject contents. For all the courses of
the programme, he/she will be receiving printed study materials in the form of booklets called blocks. The
material prepared by us is properly planned and self instructional in nature. The lessons which called units,
are structured to facilitate self-study. The printed material and Formulae and Statistical Table Booklet for
PGDAST programme along with the Programme Guide are sent to the learners by registered post at their
residential address provided by them.
3.2 Audio-Video Material
The audio and video CDs are supplementary to the print material, meant for clarification and enhancement
of understanding. At present the audio-video programs are under development of the courses of this
programme. It will be sent to the learners, once developed, the learners can watch these programs during
counselling sessions.
3.3 Counselling Sessions
In distance education, fact-to-face contact between the learners and their tutors/counsellors is relatively
less and, therefore, is an important activity. The purpose of such contacts is to answer some of learners’
questions and clarify his/her doubts which may not be possible through any other means of
communication. There are academic counsellors at the Study Centres to provide counselling and guidance
to the learner in the courses that they have chosen for study. Normally, these sessions will be held at the
Study Centres during weekends (Saturdays and Sundays).
The candidates should note that the counselling sessions will be very different from the classroom teaching
or lectures. Counsellors will not be delivering lectures as in conventional teaching. They will try to help
the learners to overcome difficulties which they face while studying. In these sessions, the learner must
try to resolve his/her subject-based difficulties and any other related problems.
Before going to attend the counselling sessions, please go through the course materials and make a
plan of the points to be discussed. Unless you have gone through the units, there may not be much
to discuss.
The detailed schedule of the counselling sessions for both theory and lab courses will be informed to
the learners by the Coordinator of their Study Centre.
• Theory Counselling
Each of all the theory courses of this programme will have 4-5 counselling sessions each of two hours.
The sessions for theory counselling are not compulsory to attend.
• Lab Counselling
For each of the three lab courses 6 counselling sessions each of 4 hours (3 days) will be held at the study
centre. However, if the candidate is capable of doing each and every exercises given at the end of each lab
sessions in the lab manuals of the lab courses, he or she may be allowed to attend one day out of the

17
scheduled 3 days of counseling sessions with condition that he or she has to submit the record book consists
of printout of the solved lab exercises in MS Excel 2007 and demonstrate his or her capabilities before the
counsellor, i.e., the maximum number of Lab sessions should be 6 sessions (3 days) for each lab course
and compulsory attendance of learners should be 2 sessions (1 day) at the Study Centre for demonstrating
their capabilities and for continuous assessment of their work. You should bear in mind that if the
counselor before whom the candidate will demonstrate, does not find satisfactory performance then
candidate has to attend all the counseling sessions and solve all the lab exercises under the guidance
of the counsellor.
The students are advised to complete the lab courses within a year from registration, otherwise pro-rata
fee of Rs. 400/- per course will be charged for re-registering for the missed/repeat lab sessions.
Please note the followings:
i) Each practical session is of four hours duration
ii) Two sessions of four hours each will be held each day.
Please keep in touch with the Coordinator of your Study Centre to know the schedule of the Lab
Sessions.
3.4 Web Based Supports

4. EVALUATION
The system of evaluation, both for theory courses and practical course is as follows:
Theory Evaluation: For theory courses, evaluation comprises three aspects:
a) Self-evaluation exercises within each unit of study (non-credit).
b) Continuous evaluation in the form of compulsory tutor marked assignments. This carries a weightage
of 30% for each course. The scores of the tutor marked assignment will be considered for declaring
the students successful in that course.
c) The term-end evaluation has a weightage of 70% in every theory course.
Practical Evaluation: Evaluation of the practical course comprises of the following two aspects:

18
a) Continuous evaluation of lab exercises is done at the programme/study centre by the counsellor.
Evaluation of lab exercises which learners do throughout the semester under the guidance of their
counsellor(s) at the programme/study centre along with the submission of the solved assignments of
the lab courses constitutes continuous evaluation and carries 30% weightage. The candidates must get
the printout of the excel file of the solution related to each exercise checked and signed by their
counsellor and maintain a record book of these signed lab exercises. This record book will be a part of
their continuous assessment and will be required to submit before the term-end lab examination to the
Programme Coordinator/Counsellor at Study Centre.
Every lab exercise is evaluated and is included for final evaluation, the weightage for the continuous
assessment is 30%, out of which 10% for the record book. These lab exercises are to be performed
under the guidance of a counsellor. Hence, a student has to perform all the lab exercises in order to be
able to secure good marks.
The assignments booklet consists of the assignments for all the theory courses as well as the lab courses
of the PGDAST programme are uploaded on the website. The candidates must download the
assignments of the respective lab courses and submit the duly solved assignments at their study centre
for evaluation. The weightage of the continuous assessment is 30% out of which 20% for the
assignments.
b) Term-End evaluation of performance in the lab exam carries a weightage of 70% for each lab course.
The evaluation of lab exercises assigned to the learner in Term-end practical exam on the scheduled
date and time at the Programme/Study centre constitutes term-end evaluation and carries 70%
weightage out of which 50% is allotted for term-end exam and 20% for Viva-voce. The schedule of
term-end lab examination will be notified to the learners by the Coordinator of their Programme/Study
Centre and intimated to the eligible candidates by the Regional Centre.
Qualifying Marks: You will have to obtain at least 40% marks in each course (both in theory and lab) in
both continuous and term end evaluation separately. However, the overall average should also be at least
40% for the successful completion of a course.
Overall Marking: The final Marking for each course is computed by combining continuous evaluation
score and term-end examination score.
The University is following numerical marking system for continuous evaluation as well as term-end
examination. The evaluators are required to award numerical marks in assignments, lab activities and term-
end examination. The notional correlates of the letter grades and percentage of marks are as follows:
Letter Qualitative Value Division Equivalent percentage
Grade Range of numerical marks
A Excellent First division with Distinction 80% and above
B Very good First division 60% but less than 80%
C Good Second division 50% but less than 60%
D Satisfactory Third division 40% but less than 50%
E Unsatisfactory Fail Less than 40%

In order to be able to appear for the Term-End examination, it is pre-requisite that the students
submit all the assignments according to the prescribed schedule. The students are required to give
an undertaking to this effect in the examination form and it should not be later found that they had, in
fact, not submitted the assignments as prescribed, otherwise the results of the term-end examination will
be treated as cancelled.
4.1 Assignments
Assignments are a compulsory component of the courses. Assignments are uploaded in the IGNOU
website or sent to the study centres.

19
The main purpose of the assignments is to test learner’s comprehension of the learning material which
they will receive from us and also to help them get through the course by providing feedback to them.
These assignments will be checked by their counsellors, who will also explain the candidate, where and
how he/she can improve his/her understanding. The information given in the printed course material is
sufficient for answering the assignments. However, to take the learner a little further, he/she can always
refer to other books assessable to him/her.
These assignments are to be submitted at the programme study centre, according to the submission
schedule provided in the assignments booklet. Before submission, a candidate should ensure that he/she
has answered all the questions in all assignments. Incomplete answer sheets bring their poor grades.
The assignments are valid for one year. This means that assignments dispatched to the candidate or
uploaded in the website for the semester beginning January is valid up to December of the same
year. Similarly, the assignments of the July semester dispatched to the candidate or uploaded in the
website in the month of July is valid up to the June of the next year. In any case, they have to submit
assignments before appearing in the examination for any course.
The candidates have to complete the assignments on time. He/She will not be allowed to appear in
the term-end examination for a course if he/she does not submit the assignments in time for that
course. If he/she appears in term-end examination without submitting the assignments, then the
result of term-end examination is liable to be cancelled.
For your own record, please keep a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the
programme coordinator of your study centre. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor
marked assignments along with a copy of the assessment sheet containing comments on your
assignments by the evaluator within a month after submission, please try to get it from your
programme/study centre personally.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUTOR MARKED ASSIGNMENTS

STUDY CENTRE CODE: ……………………... DATE: ……………….………………...

3. Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any, given in the assignment
itself.
4. Use only A4 size paper for the responses and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very thin paper.
Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between each answer. This may facilitate the
evaluator to write useful comments on the margin at appropriate places.
