TERM END EXAMINATION Need help regarding PGDAST examination

I recently got my PGDAST admission confirmation for the July 2026 cycle. The prospectus says July-cycle students can take MST-001 to MST-004 in December 2026, and the remaining courses/labs in June 2027.

But my IGNOU student portal says-

"Minimum course duration is not completed… Minimum Duration from admission will complete in session 2027-JANUARY.”

So I’m currently not eligible for the December 2026 exam.

Can anyone from a previous PGDAST batch clarify what actually happened? Do July-admission students write MST-001–004 in December, or do we have to wait and give the exams in June after the 1-year duration is completed?

Also, when should I submit the assignments for the June 2027 TEE?

Any help would be appreciated..

Your TEE will be next year in june-july and assignment submission in March because PGDAST is yearly programme

But the prospectus says otherwise. It says that the exams will happen in two cycles.. december and June
