IGNOU Previous Year Question Papers: Download TEE Papers by Course Code

Last reviewed: 13 August 2026. IGNOU publishes previous Term-End Examination question papers through its official Student Services area. This evergreen guide explains how to find the correct paper by course code and use it properly for exam preparation.

IGNOUStatus.in is an independent student-help website.

How to find the correct question paper

1. Open IGNOU's official Previous Year Question Papers service.
2. Select or search the relevant TEE session.
3. Search using the exact course code, not only the programme name.
4. Download papers from multiple recent sessions where available.
5. Compare the paper with your current syllabus before using it for preparation.

Why course code matters

Programme structures can change, and similarly named subjects may use different course codes. Your registered/current course code is the safest key for finding the right paper.

How many previous papers should you practise?

Use several recent sessions to identify recurring themes, question formats and the level of detail expected. Previous papers help with practice but do not guarantee that questions will repeat.

A practical study method

1. Study one syllabus unit.
2. Search recent papers for questions from that unit.
3. Write one or two timed answers.
4. Compare your answer with the study material and improve structure.
5. Repeat across units before attempting a full paper under exam conditions.

Avoid these mistakes

• Do not memorise only repeated questions.
• Do not use an old paper without checking the current course code/syllabus.
• Do not rely on unofficial answer keys as the final authority.
