If you’re an IGNOU MBA student and working on your final semester, you’ll definitely come across MMPP-001 – the project course.

Whether you're doing your MBA in HR Management (MBAHM), Finance Management (MBAFM), Marketing Management (MBAMM), MBA Banking & Finance (MBF), or Operations Management (MBAOM), this course is compulsory for all. It sounds like a big task, but don’t worry. 

All about MMPP-001 Course - Final Semester IGNOU MBA Project  

MMPP-001 is the final project work you need to submit before you finish your MBA from IGNOU. This is not just an assignment. It’s a small research-based task that shows you can apply what you learned during the course.

This project is required for these IGNOU MBA specializations:

• General MBA
• MBA in Banking and Finance (MBF)
• MBA in Financial Management (MBAFM)
• MBA in Human Resource Management (MBAHM)
• MBA in Marketing Management (MBAMM)
• MBA in Operations Management (MBAOM)

You need to complete a project report of around 10,000 to 15,000 words, and before that, submit a synopsis (which is a plan of your project).

Main steps which you can follow before starting your IGNOU MBA Project.

Step 1: Read the MMPP-001 Project Guidelines

Start by downloading the project Guidelines for MMPP-001 from the IGNOU website or checking your study materials. This manual explains the correct format, required sections, submission rules, and evaluation process. It’s your official guide from IGNOU.

Step 2: Contact Your Project Supervisor

To begin your project, you need a supervisor (guide) approved by IGNOU. Reach out to your study centre and ask for supervisor details.

Your supervisor will:

• Help finalize your topic

• Approve your synopsis

• Guide you during the report writing process

• Sign the final report before submission

Make sure your supervisor has some knowledge about your chosen subject. This will make things easier for both of you.

Step 3: Prepare Your Project Synopsis

The synopsis is a short summary of your project plan. You cannot begin the report unless your synopsis is approved by your supervisor.

Keep your synopsis around 1000 words. It should include:

• Title of the project
• Background of the study
• Purpose or objective
• Research methods you will use
• Basic plan for each chapter
• Short reference list

Pick a topic from your MBA specialisation – for example:

• HR: Employee performance or training programs
• Marketing: Online customer behaviour
• Finance: Digital payment trends
• Operations: Inventory control methods
• Banking: Customer service in digital banking

Submit the synopsis to your regional centre or as per the details mentioned in your manual.

Step 4: Write the Final Project Report

Once your synopsis is approved, you can begin working on your MMPP-001 report. This is where you do your research, collect data, analyse findings, and write your conclusions.

The report should be between 10,000–15,000 words, or about 80–100 pages. Make sure you write it in your own words. Avoid copy-paste. IGNOU checks for originality.

Your report should include:

1. Cover Page (with project title and your details)
2. Declaration and certificate (signed by you and your supervisor)
3. Acknowledgment
4. Table of Contents
5. Introduction
6. Review of Literature
7. Research Methodology
8. Data Analysis and Interpretation
9. Findings and Suggestions
10. Conclusion
11. Bibliography
12. Annexures (if any)

Use MS Word and keep formatting neat and clear. Add charts and tables if needed to support your points.

Step 5: Submit the Project Report

Once your report is ready and signed by your supervisor, it’s time to submit it to IGNOU.

You have two options:

• Offline: Print and post the report to the Student Evaluation Division, IGNOU HQ, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110068.
• Online: Visit the official IGNOU project portal and upload the PDF copy with all necessary files.

Submission deadlines:

• May 31 – for June exams
• November 30 – for December exams

Always keep a backup copy with you, both printed and digital.

Tips to Make Your IGNOU MBA Project Easy

Here are some smart tips to save time and effort:

• Choose a topic you understand well
• Collect data from trusted sources (like company websites, government reports, or surveys)
• Don’t leave writing until the last moment
• Discuss progress with your supervisor
• Use simple words in your report
• Keep your work original – IGNOU doesn’t accept copied reports

Need Project Help or Support?

If you are stuck or running short on time, don’t panic. You can take help in different ways:

• Look for project support services (just for reference or formatting)
