MMPP-001, also printed as MMPP 001, MMPP 01 and MMPP 1
MMPP-001 at a glance, then the evidence
IGNOU MBA Project means MMPP-001, an eight-credit project course for MBA, MBAFM, MBAHM, MBAMM, MBAOM, MBF and MBA (Online) learners. It runs in two stages: a synopsis sent to your Regional Director for approval, then a report of about 18,000 words. The weight sits on evidence: objectives matched to data, tools and statistics, a reliability and validity line for each tool, and tables with a full interpretation. Run the two free checks below, then take the sample files.
What the MMPP-001 guidelines ask of your evidence
For an IGNOU MBA project, synopsis correction costs Rs 1,000 and report correction Rs 2,000. Topic work, literature review, questionnaire design, data analysis, guide introduction and formatting are quoted on WhatsApp. The printed hard copy comes free with report correction, and hard binding costs Rs 1,000. You stay the author throughout, and IGNOU's evaluator remains the only person who approves a synopsis or marks a report.
The synopsis you wrote, marked against the MMPP-001 guidelines and the proforma, with every change explained. The papers that travel with it are checked in the same reading.
Your report marked against the approved synopsis, with the data chapters read closely. Timeline confirmed on WhatsApp by the length of your draft.
We help you shape a topic and a questionnaire that you then build, and we run SPSS or Excel on the data you collected. You write the interpretation.
No guide yet?
If no guide is available to you, we can introduce a teacher or professional who fits one of the MMPP-001 routes. They decide whether to supervise, and they sign only what they have supervised.
With report correction, we print your corrected report on our own press at Dwarka and dispatch the hard copy to you at no charge.
Binding waits for your original approval letter and your guide's signed documents, because they are bound inside, so many students have the printed copy bound near home.
Three study files built around the evidence an IGNOU MBA project needs, each marked not for submission. Read them for structure and method, then build your own.
What we do
What we never do
Independent reviews of our work are on Trustpilot. The price of each service is in the next section.
Every service for an IGNOU MBA project in one list, in the order the work needs them. IGNOU's own project fee, Rs 500 for an eight-credit course such as MMPP-001 (Prospectus, July 2026, p. 27), is paid by you to IGNOU, on Samarth for December 2026, and never through us.
Directions that fit your specialisation and the data you can actually reach, each worded so an objective can be answered by a table. You choose the topic and settle the title with your guide.
The five MMPP-001 parts taken one at a time, with most time on the six method items. You write each part, and we read it before you move on.
The synopsis you wrote, marked against the MMPP-001 guidelines and the proforma, with the packet checked too. Back by email the day after payment.
Where to find recent studies on your topic, how to summarise them and how to cite them in one consistent format. You read the studies and write the review.
Questions drafted with you so each one maps to an objective, with scales and demographic items set out and a pilot planned. You run the survey on real respondents.
SPSS or Excel run on the data you collected, with the tests your objectives call for, such as percentages, cross-tabulation, chi-square, t-test or correlation, and each output explained. You write the interpretation.
Your report marked chapter by chapter against the approved synopsis, the MMPP-001 report order, the bound-in papers, the length and the references. Timeline confirmed on WhatsApp by draft length.
An introduction to a teacher or professional who fits one of the MMPP-001 routes. They decide whether to supervise, and they sign only what they have supervised.
Layout, headings, table numbers, page numbers and references in the report you wrote, set to the MMPP-001 format on A4 in double spacing.
The pages of your corrected report, printed at our Dwarka press and dispatched to your address. Included when you take report correction from us.
A hard-bound volume in the order the guidelines ask for. We need your original approval letter and your guide's signed documents first, because they are bound inside.
Three study files, marked not for submission: a sample synopsis, a report template with empty table shells and a data codebook kit.
Help books Rs 249 hard copy or Rs 99 soft copy; solved assignments Rs 19 per subject, for reference; guess papers and solved papers Rs 49 PDF or Rs 100 printed; previous year papers from Rs 39.
Which office to write to about approval or a report status, and what to quote: your PP No. to the Regional Centre about approval, or SED at projects@ignou.ac.in about the report.
Prices as of 9 November 2026. A quote on WhatsApp is confirmed in writing before you pay. We do not write a synopsis or report for submission, supply or make up survey data, or sign for you or your guide. Reference material: MBA help books, solved assignments, guess papers and previous year papers.
Both checks run in your browser and keep nothing you type. The first is built from the MMPP-001 guidelines and lists what your IGNOU MBA project draft still leaves open; the second is plain arithmetic on your own response counts, with the formulas shown. The sections further down explain each method item in full.
Built line by line from Step 3 (iv) of the MMPP-001 synopsis guidelines and the report structure in the same document, read in November 2026.
Type up to four objectives as your draft words them, choose the data source, the tool and the statistic you plan for each, then tick what your draft already states. The check lists what the guidelines ask for that is still open. It works only on what you enter and keeps nothing.

The guideline line behind each answer
An arithmetic aid on your own response counts. IGNOU sets no scale, score or statistic for MMPP-001; the formulas are shown under the summariser.
Enter the number of respondents in each category for one statement. You get n, the percentage in each category, the weighted mean on a five-point scale, the share agreeing, a row you can copy into your table, and a neutral sentence to build your interpretation on. It fills in nothing you did not enter.

A second reader for the evidence plan
The check above reads what you type. A second reader catches what it cannot: a sample that does not fit the organisation, a questionnaire that measures something no objective mentions, a statistic the data cannot carry. Our correction desk reads IGNOU MBA project drafts against the MMPP-001 guidelines and the proforma, marks every change and sends the file back. You make the changes and remain the author; IGNOU's evaluator alone decides approval.
Your method section, read for
Your results chapter, read for
Synopsis correction costs Rs 1,000 and comes back by email the day after payment. Report correction costs Rs 2,000: chapter-by-chapter corrections against your approved synopsis, with the timeline confirmed on WhatsApp by the length of the draft. You can read how our correction desk works before you send anything.
Most visitors to this page arrive looking for an IGNOU MBA project sample PDF. Here are three, written at our desk for MMPP-001 and watermarked as study reference. Read them for structure and method. Your topic, organisation, sample and every number in your own file must come from your own work.

Our three study files, watermarked and never for posting
The sample synopsis studies perceived flexibility of hybrid work and work engagement among employees of two IT-enabled services firms in one city; the firm names, the city and the figures are left for the student to fill in. It follows the guidelines' five parts (introduction, rationale, objectives, research methodology, limitations) and writes out all six method items. The objectives use IGNOU's own stems. Engagement is measured with the nine-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) on its 0 to 6 scale, flexibility with five-point statements, the sample is worked out with Cochran's formula, and an objective-to-statistic table closes the method. Anyone after an IGNOU MBA synopsis sample should read it as a model of reasoning; the hybrid-work topic is already used here, so it cannot be yours.
Students who search for an IGNOU MBA project report sample PDF usually hope for a finished report. Ours is a format template on purpose. A report with filled results invites copying, and figures that are not yours have no place in an MMPP-001 report, which the guidelines require to be your original work. The template gives what the guidelines do fix: the cover page items, the contents page, the bound approved proposal, the Certificate of Originality in IGNOU's wording, the eight-part structure, a reliability and validity frame, and Tables 3.1 to 3.5 as empty shells with a sentence frame under each.
The guidelines set no separate front page for the synopsis: the proforma carries your enrolment number, centres, subject area, topic and supervisor, and the proposal follows it. Many students still add a cover sheet, so our sample shows one with the title, your name, enrolment number, programme, study centre, Regional Centre and guide, marked as our suggestion. For the report the rule is firm. The cover page must carry your name and enrolment number, the name of the guide and the title of the project, and that title must be the one the evaluator approved.
The IGNOU MBA project is one course, MMPP-001, worth eight credits. IGNOU counts it as two courses but registers it as one, and it sends no study material for it. Forms, receipts and search boxes print the same code as MMPP 001, MMPP 01 or MMPP 1; reports bound before the change carry the earlier code, MS-100. In the July 2026 Prospectus it sits in the third semester beside MMPC 015, Research Methodology for Management Decisions, the course whose methods the project puts to work.
Stage one is the synopsis, which the guidelines also call the project proposal. It travels with a proforma signed and dated by you and your guide and, unless your guide is an approved academic counsellor, the guide's bio-data signed in original. It goes to the Regional Director of your Regional Centre, by post or to the Centre's email; MBA (Online) learners send it through the LMS portal. Stage two begins only when a written approval arrives. The report then goes to the Student Evaluation Division (SED) at Maidan Garhi, or is uploaded as PDF files when IGNOU runs its online route, as it does for December 2026.
What decides the report is the evidence. Most of the six method items the synopsis must cover are about data: where it comes from, who supplies it, how it is collected and which statistics turn it into findings. The report adds the reliability and validity of your tools, then asks for results in tables or graphs with an elaborate interpretation. This homepage is built around that part. For the guidelines in sequence and topic directions, our MMPP-1 guidelines and topics page covers the route.
| Programme | Project course | Where the synopsis and report go |
|---|---|---|
| MBA, MBAFM, MBAHM, MBAMM, MBAOM, MBF (ODL) | MMPP-001, 8 credits | Synopsis to your Regional Director; report to the Registrar (SED), Maidan Garhi, or OPMS when notified |
| MBA (Online) | MMPP-001, 8 credits | Both through the LMS portal |
| MBACN (construction management) | MMPNP 001, 8 credits (p. 132) | Its own School's project guidance |
| MBALS (logistics and supply chain management) | MMPLP 001, 8 credits (p. 133) | Its own School's project guidance |
| MBAABM (agribusiness) | MAMP 060 Project Work, 8 credits (p. 139) | Its own School's project guidance |
| MBAHCHM (health care and hospital management) | MHHP 021 Project, 6 credits (p. 140) | Its own School's project guidance |
Step 3 of the IGNOU MBA project guidelines lists five parts for the synopsis: introduction, rationale, objectives, research methodology and limitations. Under research methodology it names six items. The methodology chapter of the report repeats them and adds the line that many drafts leave out, the reliability and validity of the tools used. The table pairs each synopsis item with what the report must later say about it.
| Synopsis method item | What the report's methodology must state | Worked out here |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Research design | Research design | Three kinds of evidence |
| 2. Nature and source of data or information to be collected | Nature and source of data or information collected | Data by specialisation |
| 3. Sample and sampling technique; rationale of the chosen organisation and the sample | Sample and sampling method, with rationale | Sample and sampling |
| 4. Tools and techniques for data collection: details of the tools or questionnaire and its relevance with the objectives | The questionnaire and other methods used, and their purpose; reliability and validity of the tools used | Questionnaire; reliability and validity |
| 5. Method or methods to be used for data collection | Data collection | Questionnaire, pilot, annexure |
| 6. Data handling and analysis: organisation and analysis of data, statistical tools, and their relevance with the objectives | Statistical tools used for data analysis; results in tables or graphs, interpreted | Objectives; results and discussion |
Two of the six items carry the words "relevance with the objectives of the project". That phrase is what the evaluator tests: every objective should point to a source, a tool and a statistic, and every question in the questionnaire should point back to an objective. The objective-to-analysis check among the free tools near the top of this page does exactly that pairing with what you type.
The IGNOU MBA project guidelines allow three kinds of project. The choice is more than a word on the title page. It decides where your evidence comes from, and which of the six method items will carry the most weight when the evaluator reads the synopsis.
| Type, as printed | What it covers | Evidence it usually rests on | Method items to write most carefully |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive case study | A single organisation or a multifunctional area problem: formulation, analysis and recommendations | The organisation's records and reports, interviews with its managers, sometimes a staff questionnaire | Rationale of the chosen organisation; nature and source of data; written permission to use records |
| Inter-organisational study | Comparison between organisations, validation of theory, or a survey of management practices | The same measure taken in each organisation, from records or from one common questionnaire | Sample and sampling with a rationale for each organisation; the statistic used to compare |
| Field study (empirical study) | Data gathered in the field | Your own questionnaire or interview schedule, answered by a defined group of respondents | Sample size and technique; questionnaire and its relevance; reliability and validity |
The guidelines print no topic list for MMPP-001. They ask that the topic come preferably from your area of specialisation and that the title be definitive, conveying the subject matter covered. A working title such as "Influence of delivery time on repeat purchase among quick-commerce customers in Lucknow" passes that test because it names the variable, the people and the place, and it tells you at once that this is a field study needing a questionnaire.
IGNOU MBA project data analysis starts with the subject area you write on the proforma: HRM and OB, Accounting and Finance, Operations Management and Information System, Marketing, Corporate Management, or Any Other. The guidelines want the topic preferably from your specialisation and advise a guide who is a specialist in that area, so the data you plan should belong to the same field. The table shows what that usually means in practice, including where primary data for IGNOU MBA project work comes from and which public datasets can stand in as secondary sources.
| Subject area on the proforma | Variables often measured | Primary data | Public secondary sources | Analysis often used |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HRM and OB (MBAHM) | Engagement, job satisfaction, training effectiveness, intention to leave | Employee questionnaire; interviews with HR staff | Periodic Labour Force Survey (MoSPI) for labour-market context; company HR policy documents with permission | Percentages, weighted mean, cross-tabulation with chi-square, correlation |
| Accounting and Finance (MBAFM) | Liquidity, profitability, leverage, working capital, payout | Rarely needed; short interviews with finance staff | Annual reports and stock exchange filings (NSE, BSE); RBI Database on Indian Economy | Ratio and trend analysis, growth rates, comparison of means across firms |
| Operations Management and Information System (MBAOM) | Lead time, inventory turnover, defect rate, system adoption | Observation, process logs, staff questionnaire | The organisation's own records, used with written permission | Trend analysis, ABC classification, percentages, correlation |
| Marketing (MBAMM) | Awareness, satisfaction, brand preference, purchase intention | Consumer questionnaire or interview schedule | Industry statistics such as TRAI subscription data for telecom topics | Percentages, mean scores, cross-tabulation with chi-square, ranking |
| Corporate Management | Governance practices, CSR spending, strategy disclosures | Interviews with managers, where access exists | Annual reports; the National CSR Portal of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs | Content analysis, trend analysis, comparison across companies |
| Banking and Finance (MBF) | Asset quality, digital payment use, customer service quality | Customer or branch-staff questionnaire | RBI annual reports and the Database on Indian Economy; NPCI product statistics | Ratios, trend analysis, percentages, chi-square |
For topic ideas and area rules in more depth, see our HR project guide, finance project guide, marketing project guide and banking and finance project guide.
The guidelines call the objectives the most important aspect of the project. They should state clearly and precisely what you hope to know at the end of the study, may be stated in behavioural terms, and must be neutral, carrying no implicit assumption about the findings. IGNOU's own sample begins four objectives with To study, To explore, To analyse and To investigate.
A practical test for an IGNOU MBA project objective: can you name the table in your results chapter that will answer it? If you cannot, the objective is too wide, or the data you can reach cannot measure it.
| Objective as written | Data it needs | Statistic | Table in the results chapter |
|---|---|---|---|
| To study the level of work engagement among employees | Responses to a multi-item scale | Percentages, weighted mean per item and scale | Frequency table per statement with mean |
| To explore the relationship between perceived flexibility and engagement | Two measured variables from the same respondents | Correlation (Pearson or Spearman) | Correlation matrix with n and significance |
| To analyse the factors affecting repeat purchase | Ratings of several factors | Mean ranking; regression if the sample allows it | Ranked table of factors |
| To investigate the influence of age on digital payment use | A grouping variable and a usage variable | Cross-tabulation with chi-square | Cross table with row percentages |
| To study the financial performance of a company over five years | Figures from annual reports | Ratio and trend analysis | Year-wise ratio table |
A before-and-after pair shows the neutral rule at work. "To prove that hybrid work improves engagement" assumes the answer. "To study the relationship between perceived flexibility of hybrid work and work engagement among employees" leaves the answer to the data, and it already names the correlation table that will carry it.
In a field study the questionnaire is the instrument the whole IGNOU MBA project rests on. The guidelines ask for details of the tools or questionnaire and their relevance with the objectives in the synopsis, then for the questionnaire and its purpose in the report's methodology, and they list the questionnaire used among the annexures. Six steps keep it defensible.
The data codebook kit holds the sheets for steps 1, 3 and 5: variable, question, code, scale and missing-value columns, Likert and multiple-choice coding rules, an entry layout and a pilot log.
The third method item asks for three things, and most drafts give only one: the sample, the sampling technique, and the rationale of the chosen organisation and the sample. The rationale is a short argument. Why this organisation, why these respondents, and why this number, written so that an evaluator who has never visited your city can follow it.
| Technique | When it fits an MBA project | What to write in the rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Simple random | A full list of the population exists and you may use it, such as an employee roster | Where the list came from and how names were drawn |
| Stratified | Groups differ in ways that matter, such as departments, branches or grades | The strata and how many from each |
| Systematic | A list exists and every kth name is taken | The interval and the random start |
| Convenience | No list exists, for example shoppers at a mall | The place, the days, and the limit this puts on generalising |
| Purposive | Only certain people can answer, such as branch managers | The criteria that made someone eligible |
IGNOU sets no sample size for MMPP-001. When you estimate a proportion at 95 per cent confidence with a 5 per cent margin and the safest assumption of p = 0.5, Cochran's formula gives 384 respondents. When the whole population is small and known, apply the correction n = n0 / (1 + (n0-1) / N): for 400 employees across two firms it comes to about 196. Add an allowance for forms that come back incomplete, and say in the limitations what a convenience sample cannot claim.
Section 2 (ii) of the report structure asks for the reliability and validity of the tools used. It is one line in the guidelines and easy to leave out, yet it is where an evaluator learns whether your numbers can be trusted. Reliability asks whether the tool gives consistent results; validity asks whether it measures what you claim.
| Evidence you used | Reliability line | Validity line |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-item Likert scale | Cronbach's alpha for each scale, with the number of items and responses; many textbooks treat 0.70 as acceptable for research use | An established scale cited to its source; content reviewed by your guide and tried in the pilot |
| Single questions and background items | Alpha does not apply; state that wording was kept the same for every respondent and tested in the pilot | Each question traced to an objective in the codebook |
| Interviews | The same schedule used in every interview; notes written up the same day | Respondents chosen because they hold the information, as stated in the sampling rationale |
| Annual reports and published data | The same accounting basis and definitions across all years used | An authoritative source, cross-checked against a second source where one exists |
A sentence frame for the methodology chapter, to be completed with your own figures:
The reliability of the questionnaire was tested with Cronbach's alpha on [number] pilot responses and again on the final [number] responses. The [scale name] of [number] items returned an alpha of [value]. Content validity was reviewed by [guide or subject expert], and [number] items were reworded after the pilot.
The guidelines ask that the results be presented in tabular or graphical format, with the interpretation of the data and the findings given elaborately. In an IGNOU MBA project report this is usually the longest chapter; our template budgets about 7,500 of the 18,000 words for it. Six habits make the tables readable:
Under every table, write the interpretation in four moves: what the table shows, the one figure that matters most, what it means for the objective, and how it agrees or disagrees with the studies in your literature review. Close the chapter with a short section on what the data could not show.
For the arithmetic of a single five-point statement, use the Likert statement summariser among the free tools; you still write the reading under each table yourself.
After the results, the report structure in the guidelines runs: summary and conclusion, recommendations, limitations of the project with directions for further research (optional), references or bibliography, and annexures. Each part has one job in an IGNOU MBA project report.
The Proforma for Approval of Project Proposal (MMPP-001) is the last page of the guidelines file. It travels with the synopsis of your IGNOU MBA project, signed and dated by you and your guide, and comes back carrying the evaluator's decision. The third column shows where each box has to agree with your method section, because an evaluator reads the two together.
| Box | What goes in it | What it must agree with |
|---|---|---|
| Enrolment No. | The number IGNOU gave you. If the four-year maximum is over, seek re-admission before sending; a synopsis approved on the old number must be approved again for the new one. | The cover page of the report and, for December 2026, the first page of the uploaded PDF |
| Project Proposal No. | Left blank: the Regional Centre assigns it on acceptance | Every later letter about approval |
| Study Centre | Your study centre | The counsellor's study centre code, if your guide is a counsellor |
| Regional Centre | Your own Regional Centre | The address on the envelope: its Regional Director |
| Subject Area | HRM and OB, Accounting and Finance, Operations Management and Information System, Marketing, Corporate Management, or Any Other (specify) | The variables and data in your method, and your guide's specialism |
| Name of the Student | Your name as on IGNOU records | The report cover |
| Address of the Student | The complete postal address where the reply should come | Where you will be for the next two to three months |
| Email Address | An address you check | Your Regional Centre correspondence |
| Topic of the Project | The final title, concise and clear | Your objectives and sample; once approved, the report must carry this title unchanged |
| Name and Address of the Supervisor | Preferably the official address | The guide's bio-data |
| Is the Supervisor an Academic Counselor of the Management Programme of IGNOU? | Yes or No; if yes, the code of the study centre | If yes, no bio-data is needed; if no, the signed bio-data must be enclosed |
| Courses he or she is counseling for | For counsellors, the courses counselled | The subject area of the topic |
| No. of Students being guided | How many MMPP-001 (earlier MS-100) students the guide supervises on that date | The limit of five at any given time |
| Signature of Student, Date | Your signature and the date | The date on the synopsis |
| Signature of Supervisor, Date | The guide's original signature and date | The signature on the bio-data |
| For Office Use Only | Left blank: Synopsis and Supervisor each marked Approved or Not Approved, the evaluator's signature, date and comments, and the countersignature of the Regional Director or Assistant Regional Director | The comments, which the report should answer |
People search for an IGNOU guide biodata format PDF, but MMPP-001 prints no form for it. The guidelines list what the bio-data must state "in absolutely unambiguous manner", and they ask that it be signed in original by the guide, with the date. An approved academic counsellor needs none.
The guidelines set the IGNOU MBA project report at about 50 to 60 double-spaced typed pages, not exceeding approximately 18,000 words, appendices and exhibits excluded, with rational variation either side permitted. They also fix what the final report must contain. The order below is the one our template follows.
| Order | Part | Rule or suggested words |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cover page | Name and enrolment number of the student, name of the guide, title of the project |
| 2 | Certificate of Originality | In IGNOU's wording, signed by the student and the guide, with dates |
| 3 | Approved proposal: project proposal, approved proforma and the guide's bio-data | Bound in the report, not stapled |
| 4 | Detailed table of contents | With page numbers; every page numbered as the contents show |
| 5 | Introduction and review of literature, with the organisation under study | About 3,500 words |
| 6 | Research methodology | About 2,500 words |
| 7 | Results and discussion | About 7,500 words |
| 8 | Summary and conclusion | About 2,200 words |
| 9 | Recommendations | About 1,600 words |
| 10 | Limitations and directions for further research (optional) | About 700 words |
| 11 | References or bibliography | Outside the word count |
| 12 | Annexures or appendices, including the questionnaire used | Outside the word count |
Students often search for an IGNOU MBA project report when what they need is this order. Write to it from the first chapter and the 18,000 words take care of themselves; write freely and you will spend the last week cutting.
When the report goes by post or by hand, the guidelines ask for one typed copy, A-4 size, double spaced, in a bound volume, sent by registered post, speed post or by hand to the Registrar (SED), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068, with PROJECT REPORT-MMPP-001 written on top of the envelope. Before binding, the approved proforma, the approved proposal, the guide's bio-data and the signed originality certificate must be inside. A report without them is returned for compliance, a stapled proposal is not accepted, and the copy is not returned after evaluation, so keep one for yourself.
For the December 2026 Term-End Examination the route changes to uploads with no hard copy, as the next section explains. A bound copy then serves your own record. Our Dwarka press prints the hard copy free with a report correction; hard binding costs Rs 1,000, charged separately, and we take it up only after your approval letter and your guide's signed documents are in hand.
For the December 2026 Term-End Examination, IGNOU has moved project reports to its online project management system, OPMS. The rules below are from IGNOU's OPMS guidelines as we read them on 3 November 2026; open the portal yourself before you upload your IGNOU MBA project.
MMPP-001 has eight credits. The Prospectus (July 2026, p. 27) prints a project fee of Rs 300 for courses up to 4 credits and Rs 500 above, paid with the term-end examination form, and the guidelines note Rs 500 per course from the January 2023 admission cycle onwards. Outside the OPMS cycle a report can be submitted at any time of year, and the date decides the result window:
| Report submitted between | Result declared with |
|---|---|
| 1 December and 31 May | June Term-End Examination |
| 1 June and 30 November | December Term-End Examination |
Read those as result windows, not last dates. A viva-voce is held only if the evaluator recommends one, and you are told if so. For report status, write to the Assistant Registrar (SED), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068, at projects@ignou.ac.in or 011-29571324 and 011-29571321, quoting the PR No. you receive on submission.
A last look at your IGNOU MBA project takes ten minutes and saves a return. Read the list for the stage you are at.

For MBA, MBAFM, MBAHM, MBAMM, MBAOM, MBF and MBA (Online), yes: it is MMPP-001. Four other MBA programmes carry their own project codes in the July 2026 Prospectus: MBACN has MMPNP 001, MBALS has MMPLP 001, MBAABM has MAMP 060 and MBAHCHM has MHHP 021. Their Schools' guidance applies to them.
The guidelines let you send the synopsis throughout the year after you register for MMPP-001. They warn that a proposal reaching the Regional Centre more than six months after registration may miss timely disposal. The 30 November 2026 date is the OPMS upload date for reports in the December 2026 cycle, not a synopsis date.
No. Project work may begin only after a written approval of the synopsis is received. The synopsis goes to your Regional Director; the report goes later to SED, or to OPMS for December 2026.
No. The guidelines ask for the guide's signed bio-data with the synopsis, but not when the guide is an approved academic counsellor of the Management Programme. The proforma then asks for the study centre code and the courses counselled.
Our free sample synopsis is linked above, with a report format template and a data codebook kit. They are study reference only. Use them for structure and method, and build your own topic, organisation, sample and data.
The guidelines ask you to state the nature and source of your data and do not forbid secondary data. A case study of one company's annual reports can rest on it. A field study, described as an empirical study, is one where you gather the data yourself.
About 50 to 60 double-spaced typed pages, not exceeding approximately 18,000 words, with appendices and exhibits excluded. The guidelines permit rational variation on either side.
Not as a rule. A student may be asked to appear for a viva-voce if the evaluator recommends it, and is informed in that case. For December 2026 the OPMS guidelines place any viva under the Regional Centre.
A revised proposal with a fresh proforma, plus a copy of the rejected proposal and proforma bearing the evaluator's comments and the PP No. the Regional Centre allotted. If the guide changes, it counts as a new proposal with the new guide's signature.
None is named. Choose one consistent format, such as APA, and apply it to every in-text citation and every entry in the reference list.
