How it works
You remain the author: we mark and explain, and you make the changes.

- 02We mark it against the MCOP-001 guidelines and the Annexure-I proformaEvery gap marked and explained.
- 03You make the changes; you stay the authorSo the version IGNOU sees is the one you have already fixed.
- 04You post it to the right addressSynopsis to your Regional Director, report to the Registrar (SED).
When the answer arrives
The part of Annexure-I that comes back filled in
On the approved proforma we have seen, the office-use part is completed. The evaluator marks your synopsis and your supervisor separately, each Approved or Not Approved, then signs and dates. The Regional Director or Assistant Regional Director countersigns, and the Regional Centre assigns the Project Proposal number.
Keep that approved proforma safe: it is bound inside your report. If the synopsis is not approved, the Project Proposal number goes with your revised synopsis, a fresh proforma and the copy carrying the evaluator's comments.
A real student's approval letter carries a name, an enrolment number, signatures and stamps, so none appears on this page. The drawing is ours, made from the blank Annexure-I printed in the MCOP-001 guidelines.
- Project Proposal number, from the Regional Centre
- Your synopsis: Approved or Not Approved
- Your supervisor: a separate decision
- Evaluator's signature and date; comments go on the back if space runs out
- Countersignature at the Regional Centre

Leave room for the corrections
Many students leave the synopsis so late that no time is left to write and revise it with care. Send your draft while there are still weeks to work the marked points in.
Your guide's rounds take time too. When a guide asks for several rounds of changes, an MCOP-001 synopsis can slip by weeks, so begin early enough to absorb them.
IGNOU's evaluator decides approval, and nobody outside IGNOU can promise it.
What we check
Have a draft? Get it marked against MCOP-001 before you post it
An evaluator reads your synopsis and decides, and a non-approval costs you months. We read it first, against the same guidelines and the same proforma, and send it back with every gap marked and explained, so the version IGNOU sees is the one you have already fixed.
Your synopsis, checked for
- All seven parts, and the six parts of methodology
- Neutral objectives, each matched to a tool and a statistic
- Literature review matched to the references, in APA (the style the report must use)
- Annexure-I: every box filled, both signatures dated
- Bio-data: the five items, signed in original
- Guide route, and the five-learner guidance
- Enrolment validity and the right Regional Centre
Your report, checked for
- Title exactly as approved by the evaluator
- The ten parts in order, within about 60 to 80 pages
- Every table interpreted and tied to an objective
- Reliability and validity of tools stated
- APA references matching citations and data sources
- Approved papers bound in, originality certificate signed by both, fee receipt copy
- Page numbers that match the contents
A fault we mark in many M.Com synopses: a literature review that cites studies missing from the reference list, or a list full of works the review never mentions.
Most MCOP-001 approvals we see come with correction points, and the commonest asks for an up-to-date literature review. In our experience an outdated review also costs marks when the report is evaluated.
Passages lifted from websites and pasted without a check are the other pattern. We mark each one for rewriting in your words with a citation; we issue no plagiarism certificate and promise no score.
Free tools for your IGNOU MCOM project
Nothing you type leaves this page.
MCOP-001 synopsis packet check
Built line by line from the MCOP-001 guidelines of the Commerce Discipline, SOMS (February 2023 file), read in October 2026. It lists gaps; it cannot predict approval.
This checker needs JavaScript. If you can read this line after the page has loaded, use the written list below the tool.
The check looks for wording that assumes a finding. Nothing you type leaves this page.
How it decides. Each unticked part or packet item is listed with the line of the MCOP-001 guidelines it comes from: the seven synopsis parts and six methodology parts under "Preparation of Project Synopsis"; the signed and dated Annexure-I and the guide's bio-data signed in original under "Submission of Project Synopsis", where a synopsis without them is rejected; the address and the "MCOP-001" envelope under "Important Notes"; the three guide routes under "Selection of Guide" and the five-learner wording under the proforma instructions; and fresh approval after re-admission under the enrolment instruction. Objectives are flagged when they contain words that presume a finding (prove, show that, positive, negative, impact of, will increase, will decrease, to establish, to justify, best), because the guidelines ask for neutral objectives without implicit assumptions. A clean result means only that nothing on this list is missing.
Count back from the result you want
Pick the result you are aiming for. The planner starts from that window's last day and walks backwards through report writing, the approval period and the post, to the latest date your synopsis should leave home.
Backward planner from the result you want
A planning estimate. IGNOU sets the result windows and the two-to-three-month approval period; the weeks of work and one week of post are assumptions you can change.
This planner needs JavaScript. If you can read this line after the page has loaded, use the method written below the tool.
Eight weeks is our planning default for a survey of a modest sample.
Leave empty to see only the latest safe posting date.
How it works. The window ends on 30 November for a December result and on 31 May for a June result, as the MCOP-001 guidelines state. From that day it subtracts your weeks of data collection and writing, then the full three months the guidelines allow for a written decision, then seven days of post. The result is the latest date to post the synopsis. If you enter a posting date, it adds the same periods forward and tells you which window your report is likely to land in. An online cycle sets its own last date, which need not match the window (the June 2026 page gave 15 June 2026), and the ₹500 fee goes with the term-end exam form. IGNOU does not prescribe this method.
From our records
In our records, 70 to 80 percent of project students become active only in the last month before a submission date; when the date falls in November, most begin in October. For MCOP-001, starting then leaves no room for the two to three months an approval takes.
Synopses also arrive in a rush in the final week before any announced date.
Many students wait for an extension because they expect one every time. Extensions are IGNOU's decision and never certain, so plan on the window, not on a second date.
Did the check list gaps? Send the synopsis as it stands.
It is returned by email the next day after payment, each gap we find marked against the MCOP-001 guidelines and Annexure-I, for ₹1,000.

Six IGNOU MCOM project rules often stated wrongly
- The synopsis does not go to Maidan Garhi or to your study centre.It goes to the Regional Director of your own Regional Centre; only the finished report goes to the Registrar (SED) at Maidan Garhi.
- An MCOP-001 synopsis needs a literature review and a section on implications.Both are on the course's list of contents, and many circulating samples leave them out.
- References follow APA style.The MCOP-001 guidelines name it, so a page that says "no style is fixed" is describing another course.
- A copy of the project evaluation fee receipt is bound into the report.A report that arrives without it is returned for compliance.
- The guide's remuneration bill (Annexure-III) travels in a separate envelope with the report.It is not bound inside.
- The MCOP-001 guidelines do not mention a viva, and publish no viva marks.IGNOU's online project page says only that vivas of project reports are held under the concerned Faculty's guidelines, through the Regional Centre.
IGNOU MCOM project guidelines: the MCOP-001 rulebook
MCOP-001 in eighty words
The IGNOU MCOM project is MCOP-001 (often typed MCOP-01), the six-credit fourth-semester project course of IGNOU's M.Com. You choose a topic and an eligible guide, then send the synopsis with the signed Annexure-I proforma and the guide's signed bio-data to the Regional Director of your Regional Centre. A written decision comes within two or three months. The report, about 60 to 80 double-spaced pages with APA references, goes to the Registrar (SED), Maidan Garhi, with the approved papers bound inside.
The course in six numbers
- 6
- credits, the project course of semester 4
- 2
- addresses: synopsis to your Regional Director, report to the Registrar (SED)
- 60-80
- double-spaced typed pages for the report, rational variation allowed
- 2-3
- months for the written approval or non-approval
- ₹500
- project evaluation fee, paid with the term-end exam form
- 5
- learners a guide may limit themselves to at one time
Two envelopes, two addresses
Most MCOP-001 trouble starts at the post office. The project travels in two separate packets, months apart, to two different offices, and each packet has its own label and its own reference number.
Packet 1: the synopsis
To the Regional Director of your own (or designated) Regional Centre, by hand, registered post or courier. M.Com Online learners use the LMS portal.
MCOP-001- The synopsis (keep a copy)
- Annexure-I proforma with your signature and your guide's, each dated
- Your guide's bio-data, signed in original and dated
Packet 2: the report
To the Registrar (SED), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068, by registered post, speed post or by hand. M.Com Online learners use the LMS portal.
PROJECT REPORT-MCOP-001- One typed, bound copy with the approved papers inside
- A copy of the fee receipt, bound in
- The guide's remuneration bill in a separate envelope
- Topic and guideStart in semester 3, as the guidelines advise
- DraftWrite the synopsis in consultation with the guide
- Post packet 1To your Regional Director
- DecisionIn writing, with a Project Proposal number, in 2 to 3 months
- StudyCollect data only after approval
- Post packet 2To the Registrar (SED), PR number allotted
- ResultWith the June or December term-end exams
What we see at the post-office stage
Some M.Com students carry the synopsis to Maidan Garhi themselves, or leave it at the study centre, and we have seen those packets rejected. For MCOP-001 the synopsis door is your Regional Director. Maidan Garhi receives only the finished report.
Others wait until the end and post synopsis and report together, often with the guide's signature missing. The guidelines allow project work to begin only after written approval of the synopsis, so a joint packet cannot succeed.
Many students are unsure whether the date on a notice applies to the synopsis or to the report. The MCOP-001 guidelines set no last date for the synopsis at all. The last dates students see on project notices are usually for reports, and those decide which result you get.
The papers you need, and which ones are ours
Keep the two kinds of paper apart. The left column is IGNOU's: these are the documents an evaluator works from. The right column is ours: free study reference, watermarked, never to be submitted.

Questions that follow an approval letter
After the approval letter, the question we hear most often is which format the report follows. The template answers it page by page.
Reports also reach us with no questionnaire in the annexures. The guidelines list the questionnaire used under annexures, and without it a reader cannot match your tables to your questions.
A few students bind every filled questionnaire at the back. The guidelines list the questionnaire used under annexures, and one blank copy is the usual practice.
IGNOU MCOM project synopsis: the seven parts MCOP-001 asks for
The guidelines list seven parts and expect the synopsis to be prepared in consultation with your guide. Methodology alone has six parts of its own, and each statistical tool must be tied to an objective.
| Part | What the guidelines ask for | Where M.Com drafts slip |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | A brief background to the subject chosen | Pages of textbook history with no problem stated |
| Rationale | Why this topic was chosen | Missing altogether, or one line of "it is important" |
| Literature review | Review of existing studies on the topic | Old studies only; citations absent from the references |
| Objectives | Clear, precise, neutral, with no assumption about findings | Verbs such as "prove" or "show" that presume the answer |
| Research methodology | Design; nature and source of data; sample and sampling with rationale; tools and questionnaire with relevance to objectives; method of collection; analysis and statistical tools with relevance to objectives | A sample size with no reason, and tools never linked to an objective |
| Implications | Implications of the study | Left out, because many sample synopses do not have it |
| Limitations | Limitations of the proposed project, if any | Copied lines that fit any topic |
Source: MCOP-001 guidelines, "Preparation of Project Synopsis". Built from the official document.
Objectives that pass, and objectives that come back
The guidelines open their own sample objectives with examine, explore, analyse and investigate. Each pair below keeps the student's idea and removes the assumed result.
To prove that digital marketing increases sales of local retailers
To examine the relationship between digital marketing spend and sales of selected retailers in your city
"Prove" decides the finding before the data exists.
To show the positive impact of GST on small traders
To analyse the changes small traders in your district report after GST registration
"Positive impact" is a conclusion, not an objective.
To study everything about mutual funds
To explore the factors salaried investors in your city weigh when choosing equity mutual fund schemes
No population, no place, nothing a questionnaire could measure.
In the synopses we review
Many synopses we review stop at introduction, objectives and one line of method. The MCOP-001 list has seven parts. Hypotheses are not on it, so add them only where your design and your guide call for them.
Synopses are returned when the rationale is missing or the questionnaire is never described. The guidelines name both.
Drafts produced with ChatGPT or another AI tool, without the guidelines open, miss the same things again and again: implications, the reason for the sample, and the link between each statistical tool and an objective.
MCOP-001 synopsis proforma (Annexure-I), box by box
Annexure-I is the only proforma MCOP-001 uses, printed at the end of the guidelines. An approved MCOP-001 proforma from June 2026 that we have seen carries this same layout, with the Regional Centre writing in the Project Proposal number and the evaluator ticking Synopsis and Supervisor separately. The images of real proformas stay off this page; the map below does the same job without anyone's signature on show.
| Box | Filled by | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Enrolment No. | You | The number on your current ID card. After re-admission, approval must be sought again on the new number. |
| Study Centre | You | Your centre's code |
| Regional Centre | You | The Regional Centre whose Regional Director receives this packet |
| Project Proposal No. | Regional Centre | Leave blank. The number is assigned to you; use it in further correspondence with the Regional Centre. |
| Subject Area | You | One of HRM and OB, Accounting and Finance, Operations Management and Information System, Marketing, Corporate Management, or Any Other (specify) |
| Name of the Student | You | As on your ID card |
| Address of the Student | You | The complete postal address, as the form asks; IGNOU's written decision is posted to you |
| Email Address | You | One you check; it is often left blank |
| Topic of the Project | You | The full final title. The report must later carry this title unchanged. |
| Name and Address of the Guide | You, with the guide | Official address preferred |
| Is the Supervisor an Academic Counselor of Management Programme of IGNOU? | You, with the guide | Yes or No; if Yes, the study centre code |
| Courses he or she is counseling for | Guide | Counsellors list their courses; others leave it blank |
| No. of Students being guided | Guide | The number guided for the project course on that date; guides may restrict themselves to five |
| Signature of Student, Date | You | Original signature and date; an unsigned proforma is a rejection ground |
| Signature of Supervisor, Date | Guide | Original signature and date |
| For Office Use: Synopsis and Supervisor marked Approved or Not Approved, separately | Evaluator | Two separate decisions: your synopsis and your guide are judged independently |
| Comments of the Evaluator; counter-signature of the Regional Director or Assistant Regional Director | Evaluator and Regional Centre | Comments may continue on the back; read them before you write the report |

On the proformas that reach us
Students ask us what "the proforma" is, and some attach the MBA form or another course's form. For the M.Com it is Annexure-I of the MCOP-001 guidelines, nothing else.
Incomplete proformas are routine at our desk: the guide's address missing, and sometimes the student's own email or postal address blank, though the decision is posted to that address.
A blank Topic box is enough to get a synopsis returned. Write the full title exactly as it appears on your synopsis cover.
Who can sign as your M.Com project guide
Find the field first, then a person with experience in it who is willing to guide you and fits one of three routes. The evaluator decides on the guide separately from the synopsis, on the same proforma.
| Route | Who qualifies | Bio-data needed? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Commerce faculty in the School of Management Studies at IGNOU headquarters | Yes, the guidelines ask for a signed bio-data with every synopsis |
| 2 | Approved academic counsellors of the M.Com programme with five years' teaching at study centres | Yes; also give the study centre code and courses on the proforma |
| 3 | Commerce or management faculty with five years of PG teaching, or professionals with a Master's in Commerce or an allied discipline and five years in the relevant area | Yes, and it must show the experience in date order |
Source: MCOP-001 guidelines, "Selection of Guide", where guides are asked to supervise only in their own area; the instructions for the proforma add that supervisors may restrict themselves to five learners at a time.
The bio-data: five things, one signature
- Name and date of birth
- Full address and phone numbers of residence and current workplace
- Degrees with specialisation, university or institution with address, year of award and percentage of marks
- Work experience in date order: designation, period, organisation and contactable address
- Anything else relevant to eligibility; a current business card may be attached
The guide signs it in original and dates it. A synopsis without a complete, signed bio-data is not considered.
No guide yet?
Ask your study centre first for an M.Com academic counsellor with five years' teaching; that route costs you nothing. If none is available, we can introduce you to a teacher or professional who fits one of the three routes and is willing to supervise an M.Com project in your area. You speak with them and decide; they guide the work, and they sign Annexure-I, their own bio-data and the originality certificate only for work they have supervised. Whether the guide is approved is decided by the evaluator, who marks Supervisor Approved or Not Approved on your proforma. Charges for an introduction are quoted on WhatsApp. IGNOU, for its part, pays the guide: the remuneration bill printed with the guidelines (a form dated September 2012) states ₹300 per student.
When students look for a guide
Most students we speak to have never seen the eligibility list. They ask a relative or a friend's teacher first, and learn later that the person fits none of the three routes.
Many ask their study centre to allot a guide. The MCOP-001 guidelines describe no allotment; you approach an eligible person yourself, and a counsellor at your centre is the quickest place to start.
We have seen synopses returned when the guide's bio-data carried no stamp or proof of the guide's current workplace. The guidelines ask for workplace details and allow a business card to be attached, so include them.
Choosing your IGNOU MCOM project topic
The guidelines let you choose any topic, preferably from your area of interest: Marketing, Finance, Human Resource, International Business, Accounting and Taxation, or related and emerging areas. The study can be a survey-based field study, a comprehensive case study of one organisation, an inter-organisational comparison, or any other research-based work. A title that names a variable, a population, a place and a period is usually narrow enough to finish in one semester.
For topic directions by specialisation, with titles worked through, see our longer MCOP-001 topic guide on ignouproject.com.
What students tell us about topics
Many students believe they must take a title from a printed list. MCOP-001 has no list; the guidelines leave the choice to you.
Topic choice is where M.Com students tell us they feel most lost, and many add that IGNOU runs no class on writing a synopsis or a report.
One evaluator comment we see again and again asks for the study to be based on the student's own city.
After you post the synopsis
The evaluator's decision is sent to you in writing with a Project Proposal (PP) number. It is due within two or three months of the synopsis reaching the Regional Centre. The PP number is unique to you; quote it whenever you write to the Regional Centre. Start the study only after approval arrives.
- Guide not approved: choose an eligible guide and submit afresh, with the new guide's signature, as a new proposal.
- Want to change your guide: a new proforma signed by the new guide, treated as a new proposal.
- Maximum duration of four years over: seek re-admission before sending the synopsis. An approval on the old enrolment number has to be sought again for the new one, or the report may not be accepted.
While you wait, from our desk
In our experience the decision takes two to three months to reach the student, the same period the guidelines print.
When a month or two passes with no letter, most students do not know whom to ask. The guidelines name the Regional Director of your Regional Centre for every synopsis query; write with your enrolment number, and the PP number once you have it.
We have seen a session run out while a student waited for a letter that never came. If three months pass, write to the Regional Centre rather than keep waiting.
When the synopsis comes back
A non-approval comes with the evaluator's comments for reformulating the synopsis. The resubmission carries three documents and one number:
- The revised synopsis
- A fresh Annexure-I proforma
- A copy of the rejected synopsis bearing the evaluator's comments
- The PP number allotted by the Regional Centre
On resubmissions we have handled
The piece most often missing from the resubmissions we review is the old synopsis with the evaluator's comments on it. The guidelines ask for it by name.
Approved does not always mean finished. Approvals often carry comments that must show up in the report, and students who skip them meet the same comments again.
Most approvals students bring to us come with at least one correction or modification point.
IGNOU MCOM project report format: ten parts, 60 to 80 pages, APA
Once the study planned in the approved synopsis is done, the dissertation runs to about 60 to 80 double-spaced typed pages; the guidelines allow rational variation. Its structure is fixed in ten parts.
| Part | What goes in | Planning estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | The research work and the rationale of the study | 6 to 8 pages |
| Review of literature | A detailed review of existing studies on the topic | 8 to 12 |
| Research methodology | Rationale, statement of problem, objectives, scope; design; nature and source of data; sample and sampling with rationale; questionnaire and its purpose; reliability and validity of tools; data collection; statistical tools | 8 to 10 |
| Results and discussion | Results in tables or graphs, with detailed interpretation | 20 to 28 |
| Summary and conclusion | What the data showed, objective by objective | 3 to 4 |

In the reports we correct
In many reports we correct, the results and discussion chapter is too thin to carry the objectives and methodology the synopsis set out.
Reference lists come next. MCOP-001 asks for APA style, and the list has to match the sources you actually used, including the secondary data behind your tables.
Students also ask us for the page order. The guidelines fix the order of the ten parts, but not the order of the documents bound in front of them; our report template shows one that works.
What is bound inside the report
Before binding, check that the volume holds every item below. A report that arrives without any of them is returned to the student for compliance.
- Cover page with the course code and title (MCOP-001: Project), the title of the project, your name and enrolment number, the guide's name, the School and the University
- A detailed table of contents with page numbers, and every page numbered to match
- The approved proposal: approved proforma, approved synopsis and the guide's bio-data, properly bound in. A stapled proposal is not accepted.
- Certificate of originality (Annexure-II), signed and dated by you and your guide
- A copy of the project evaluation fee payment receipt
One point to settle before you print: Annexure-II in the February 2023 guidelines file reads "Master's Degree in Business Administration", which names the MBA rather than the M.Com. Do not edit an official form on your own; report queries go to the Registrar (SED) at projects@ignou.ac.in, so ask there whether to use it as printed.
Returned for paperwork, in our experience
Many students do not know which documents the report must carry, and the report comes back to them for compliance. Tick the list above against the bound volume, not against your folder.
Spiral-bound reports still turn up. The guidelines ask for a bound volume with the approved proposal properly bound in, and a proposal that is only stapled in is not accepted, so ask your binder for a fixed binding that holds every document.
Check the last signature twice: we still see originality certificates signed by the student and not by the guide.
Sending the M.Com project report, and which result you get
Send one typed copy on A-4, double-spaced, in a bound volume, to the Registrar (SED), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068, by post (registered or speed) or by hand, with "PROJECT REPORT-MCOP-001" written on top of the envelope. A PR number is allotted on submission; quote it in every query to projects@ignou.ac.in. Reports are not returned after evaluation, so keep your own copy. The guide's remuneration bill goes in a separate envelope at the same time.
| Report reaches IGNOU between | Result declared with |
|---|---|
| 1 December and 31 May | The June term-end examinations |
| 1 June and 30 November | The December term-end examinations |
The report can be submitted at any time of the year, but within the maximum duration of the programme, or its evaluation is rejected. The ₹500 project evaluation fee for a project above 4 credits is paid with the term-end exam form (Common Prospectus, July 2026). When IGNOU opens an online upload window, that cycle's page sets its own last date: the June 2026 page closed on 15 June 2026, asked for one clear PDF per course in the right sequence, and said reports received by email are not considered.
At the dispatch stage
Some students email the report to an IGNOU address. The June 2026 online page said plainly that emailed reports are not considered.
Keep the registered or speed post receipt. Some students skip it and later have nothing to show.
How many copies? One typed copy for MCOP-001, plus the one you keep.

Why we work this way
Most students reach us short of time rather than short of ability. A correction works best while the draft is still yours and a few weeks remain to revise it.
Synopses posted straight from an AI tool, unedited, tend to share topics and phrasing with other students' work, and repeated topics are a common reason for return in what we see.
We will not help build a results chapter on assumed figures. The data has to come from the survey you actually ran; the originality certificate you sign says the work is yours.

IGNOU MCOM project questions, answered
Asked about MCOP-001, answered from the guidelinesIs the IGNOU MCOP 01 project the same as MCOP-001?
Yes. MCOP 01, MCOP-01, MCOP 1 and MCOP1 are the ways students type MCOP-001, which the guidelines title "MCOP-001: Project", the six-credit project course in the fourth semester of the M.Com and M.Com Online programmes; the guidelines advise starting the synopsis from the third semester. Write MCOP-001 on the envelope and the report cover page, as the guidelines ask; the proforma already carries it.
Where do I send my IGNOU MCOM project synopsis?
To the Regional Director of your own (or designated) Regional Centre, by hand or by registered post or courier, with "MCOP-001" on the envelope. M.Com Online learners submit through the LMS portal. Maidan Garhi receives only the final report.
Keep proof that it left: a receipt if you hand it in, or the registered post or courier slip. Many students forget to keep one.
What goes with the IGNOU MCOM project synopsis?
Three things in one packet: the synopsis, the Annexure-I proforma signed and dated by you and your guide, and your guide's detailed bio-data signed in original. Send one copy and keep one. Students often ask us whether the synopsis should be bound or filed; the guidelines say nothing about binding at this stage, only that the packet must be complete, since an incomplete synopsis is rejected.
How many pages should the IGNOU MCOM project report be?
About 60 to 80 double-spaced typed pages; the guidelines allow rational variation. We have seen reports returned that ran far beyond this range, so treat 60 to 80 pages as the target and size each chapter to its job.
Can the MCOP 1 synopsis or report be handwritten?
Not the report: the guidelines ask for one typed copy, double-spaced on A4, in a bound volume. For the synopsis they set no typing rule, yet we still see some students submit handwritten ones. Type it; the approved synopsis is later bound into your report.
Is there a viva for MCOP-001?
The MCOP-001 guidelines do not mention one. IGNOU's June 2026 online project page says the viva of project reports is conducted under certain guidelines by the concerned Faculties and asks students to contact their Regional Centre about it. Many students ask us whether a viva applies to them; go by what your Regional Centre tells you for your own case.
What is the project fee, ₹300 or ₹500?
₹500. The Common Prospectus (July 2026) sets, from the January 2023 admission cycle, ₹300 for projects up to 4 credits and ₹500 above 4 credits; MCOP-001 carries 6. It is paid with the term-end exam form, and a copy of the receipt is bound into the report. Many students who write to us mix up the two amounts.
Can I change my topic or my guide after approval?
The final report must carry the title the evaluator approved; no change is allowed at submission. A new guide means a new proforma signed by that guide, treated as a new proposal.
Can my M.Com project use secondary data?
The guidelines ask you to state the nature and source of the data, the rationale for your sample, and how your tools relate to your objectives. A company's published accounts or official statistics can serve some objectives; a survey suits others. Say which, and why, in the methodology. Many of the M.Com projects we see rest on secondary data alone; that can suit objectives about financial performance, as long as the methodology says so.
Do you provide a project guide or supervisor?
We can introduce you to a teacher or professional who fits one of the three MCOP-001 routes and is willing to supervise; you decide, they guide the work and sign only what they have supervised, and the evaluator approves or rejects the guide on your proforma. Introductions are quoted on WhatsApp. An M.Com academic counsellor at your own study centre, with five years' teaching, is the free route.
Do you write the synopsis or the report?
No. We help at every stage, from topic, synopsis sessions and questionnaire to data analysis, correction, formatting and printing, and you write the synopsis and report yourself. The work you submit has to be your own, and the originality certificate you and your guide sign says so.
Do you print and hard-bind the report?
When you take report correction from us, the printed hard copy of your report is dispatched to your address free. Hard binding is ₹1,000, charged separately, and needs your original approval letter and your guide’s signed documents, because they are bound inside the report. Most students find it easier to have the printed copy bound at a binder near them.
Do you do the data analysis for my project?
Yes, on data you collected. We run the SPSS or Excel tests your objectives call for and explain each output, and you write the interpretation in your own words. We do not supply or make up survey data.
If I upload the report online, do I also send a hard copy?
Follow the page for your own cycle. The June 2026 online page asked for one clear PDF per course, with the approved proforma, synopsis, bio-data, originality certificate and fee receipt inside, and it described a hard copy and an online upload as two alternative routes, not both.
Where can I download the IGNOU MCOM project guidelines PDF?
IGNOU hosts the MCOP-001 guidelines, with Annexures I to III, on eGyanKosh (file dated February 2023). The rulebook on this page sets out what they say, section by section.
Is there a free IGNOU MCOM project sample PDF?
Yes: a sample synopsis and a report format template, both in the free downloads on this page, watermarked as study reference and not for submission. We publish no finished report with results, because results can only come from your own data.
How do I check my IGNOU MCOM project status and result?
For the synopsis, write to your Regional Centre quoting your Project Proposal number, or your enrolment number if no PP number has reached you yet. For the report, quote your PR number to the Registrar (SED) or projects@ignou.ac.in. A report submitted between 1 December and 31 May is declared with the June term-end results, and one submitted between 1 June and 30 November with December. Our project status guide explains where the status shows.
My four years are over. Can I still submit?
Seek re-admission first. An approval given on the old enrolment number must be sought again for the new one, otherwise the report may not be accepted.
