  8. Respected sir,
    I am finding problem in understanding what is the syllabus for MARD exam.
    Q1. In first year we have to give exams semester wise or year wise?
    Q2. If the exam is year wise than the first year exam is of how many credits, because I heard in one IGNOU youtube video by Dr. M. Aslam that in the 2nd year out of 6 courses each of 6 credits we have to take only 5 courses. That makes a total of 30 credits. But in 1st year we are having 36 credits (MRD 101, 102, 103, 004, and MRDP 001). Is anyone optional?
    Q3. What is registration card? Is it the same as Identity card that we receive?

    Kindly resolve my issues.
    Have a nice day sir,
    Thank you so much

    1. 1) YES , YOU HAVE TO GIVE EXAM YEAR WISE JULY REGISTERED IN NEXT YEAR JULY. BUT IF YOU UNABLE TO GIVE PAPER OR UNABLE TO PASS , YOU CAN THEN GIVE EXAM IN ANY TIME SIX MONTHLY (IGNOU CONDUCTED EXAM TWICE IN YEAR JUNE & DEC EVERY YEAR)

      2) FOUR SUBJECTS & DISSERTATION IN FIRST YEAR, AND FIVE IN SECOND (OUT OF SIX OPTION)

      3) REGISTRATION CARD IS IDENTITY CARD

      TIP: YOU HAVE TO SEPARATELY FILL FORM FOR EXAMINATION IN APRIL AND SEPTEMBER FOR YOUR EXAM IN JUNE & DEC SESSION.

      REGARDS
