IGNOU MAPC Percentage Calculator โ How to Calculate Your Final Grade (2025 Guide)
If youโre an IGNOU MA Psychology (MAPC) student and wondering โHow are my final marks calculated?โ, youโre not alone. Many students get confused between assignment marks, term-end exam marks, project reports, and practical files.
In this blog, weโll explain step-by-step how to calculate your final grade in IGNOU MAPC. Whether youโre in the first year or second year, this guide will help you understand the exact weightage of each component.
๐ Components That Affect Your Final IGNOU MAPC Marks
Your final marks in any MAPC course (like MPCE-011, MPCL-007, etc.) are calculated based on:
- Assignment Marks (submitted to study centre or online)
- Term-End Examination Marks (theory papers)
- Practical Files & Viva (only for courses with practicum)
- Project Report & Viva (MPCE-016 in 2nd year)
Letโs break this down further.
๐ Weightage of Assignments and Term-End Exams
For most theory courses, the mark distribution is as follows:
Component | Weightage |
---|---|
Assignment | 30% |
Term-End Exam | 70% |
So, your final mark for each subject is calculated using the formula:
Final Mark = (Assignment Marks ร 0.3) + (Exam Marks ร 0.7)
๐ Example:
Letโs say in MPCE-012 (Lifespan Psychology), you scored:
- Assignment: 72/100
- Exam: 60/100
Your final marks = (72 ร 0.3) + (60 ร 0.7)
= 21.6 + 42 = 63.6
So, your final grade in MPCE-012 would be based on 63.6 out of 100.
๐งช Practical Courses (MPCL-007, MPCE-014, 024, 034)
For practical courses, marks are divided like this:
Component | Weightage |
---|---|
Practical File/Viva | 100% |
There is no theory exam for practicum papers. Youโll be evaluated based on:
- File Submission (Experiments, case profiles, observations)
- Viva Voce by external examiner
So if you score 75 in your viva and file combined, your final mark for that paper is 75/100.
๐ MPCE- 16/ 26/ 36 Project (2nd Year)
The project component (MPCE-016 / MPCE-26 / MPCE-36) is evaluated like this:
Component | Weightage |
---|---|
Project Report | 70% |
Viva Voce | 30% |
Letโs say you got:
- Report: 65/100
- Viva: 80/100
Final marks = (65 ร 0.7) + (80 ร 0.3)
= 45.5 + 24 = 69.5
๐ How to Calculate Your Final IGNOU MAPC Percentage
Once you have marks for all subjects, just calculate the average of all papers (theory + practical + project).
Sample Calculation:
Subject | Final Mark (Out of 100) |
---|---|
MPCE-011 | 65 |
MPCE-012 | 68 |
MPCE-013 | 60 |
MPCE-014 | 75 (Practical) |
MPCE-016 | 69.5 (Project) |
MPCE-021 | 70 |
Average Marks = (65 + 68 + 60 + 75 + 69.5 + 70) / 6 = 67.58%
๐ IGNOU Grading System (Percentage to Grade)
Percentage | Grade |
---|---|
80% and above | A |
60โ79% | B |
50โ59% | C |
40โ49% | D |
Below 40% | F (Fail) |
In the above example, 67.58% means your final grade is B.
