Step-by-Step Guide

AIOU Tutor Information — How to Find Your Tutor & Tutor List

Guide to finding your AIOU tutor information, understanding how tutor assignment marking works, and what to do if you have concerns about your tutor or assignment marks.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    How AIOU Assigns Tutors

    AIOU automatically assigns a tutor to each enrolled student based on their study centre location. Your tutor is a qualified subject expert registered with AIOU who is responsible for marking your assignments and providing academic guidance.

  2. 2

    Find Your Tutor Information on LMS

    Log in to lms.aiou.edu.pk and go to your course page. Your tutor's name and contact details are typically displayed in the course information section or under 'Tutor Information'.

  3. 3

    Contact Your Tutor

    You can contact your tutor via their AIOU-provided email address or through the LMS messaging system. Tutors hold office hours at regional study centres. You may also receive tutor contact details via SMS from AIOU.

  4. 4

    Submit Assignments Through LMS — Not Directly to Tutor

    All assignment submissions must be made through the AIOU LMS portal. Do not send assignments directly to tutors by WhatsApp or email unless specifically instructed by AIOU. Only LMS submissions are officially recorded.

  5. 5

    Assignment Marking Timeline

    Tutors are required to mark submitted assignments within 4–6 weeks of submission. If your assignment marks are not visible on LMS after 6 weeks of submission, contact AIOU through the official helpline.

  6. 6

    Dispute Tutor Marks

    If you believe your assignment was unfairly marked, you can file a rechecking application with the AIOU regional campus. Submit your application with the prescribed fee within the notified period after result announcement.

Important Reminder

Always submit assignments well before the deadline. The LMS portal can experience high traffic near due dates. For Spring 2026: Assignment 1 deadline is June 30, 2026 and Assignment 2 is August 22, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request a change of tutor at AIOU?
Generally, tutor changes are not granted unless there is a clear conflict of interest or a serious documented issue. Submit a written application to your regional campus explaining the reason for requesting a tutor change.
How do I contact AIOU if I have no tutor assigned?
If no tutor is visible on your LMS course page by the end of the first month of the study period, contact AIOU's regional campus or call the main helpline at 051-9057000.
Does my tutor mark my final exam paper?
No. Tutor marking applies only to the assignments. Final examination papers are marked centrally by AIOU's examination board, not by individual tutors.

AIOU Assignment Writing — Complete Success Guide

Assignments are the most consistent, reliable way to earn marks in an AIOU semester. They allow you to work carefully at home with access to your course books — treat them as a guaranteed 30% of your grade.

Format requirements
Use A4 paper or standard Word/PDF format. Write your name, student ID, course code, assignment number, and semester on every page header.
Answer length
Each AIOU assignment question typically requires 1.5–3 pages of answer. Quality matters more than quantity.
Original writing required
Write answers in your own language using the course book as reference. Direct copying is academic dishonesty and results in zero marks.
Submit before deadline
The LMS portal closes automatically at the deadline. Submit at least 5 days early to account for technical issues.
Keep a copy
Save a copy of every submitted assignment on your device and in cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive).
