Understand the month-by-month calendar for yearly and semester-based programmes. These month windows are indicative, not the latest official extension or a substitute for dated notices.
These are the university's usual month windows. A dated IGNOU notice for your session always overrides them.

How to use this calendar
First find out whether your programme follows a yearly or semester scheme. Then note your admission session and registered course codes. The calendar helps you plan; the specific dated notice for an exam, assignment or admission decides the actual last date.
How to interpret month windows
The academic calendar separates yearly and semester schemes. A named last date in a new official announcement overrides an indicative month window. Use session and programme codes when planning deadlines.
