      1. Dear ap lagta hy 1424 COMPULSORY ENGLISH-II main lagatar 3 bar fail howay ho Autumn 2015, Spring 2015 aur Autumn 2014 k result k mutabiq. As per AIOU Examination department policy (Jo paper 3 bar lagataar fail ho jai us ka sara process new hota hy yani k ap ko aisay paper k lieya fresh admission form send karna hoga, dobara book ai gi, donon assignments dobara likni hon gi. I think k ab to autumn 2016 k admission b 21 October 2016 ko close ho gai the aur is paper ka admission ab Spring 2017 main ho sakta hy lakin ye meri rai hy. Ap ko advise hy k AIOU official number par rabta karain aur sari maloomat tasali sy lain.

        Mazeed maloomat k liya apnay eliaqay k AIOU regional office visit karain. AIOU regional Office k addresses janany k leyay ye link visit karain:

        http://oneaiou.blogspot.com/2013/07/aiou-regional-offices-addresses-and.html

        Best of luck! himat nai harni. Insha Allah is bar pass ho jao gay. Yad rakhna k ab purani assignment k result cancel aur fresh tariqay sy assignment likna ho gi aur assigments+paper main pass hona ho ga 1 bar admission k baad three attempts di jati hain kisi paper ko pass karnay k leyay. Keep in touch with AIOU concerned study center/Regional Office.

        Dosto please apna mobile number de diya karain ta k phone par b ap sy problem discuss ho sakay. Thanks
