If you’re a student of Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) and have completed your degree but haven’t received your Result Card (DMC) or original degree, don’t worry. You can easily apply for them by following a few simple steps.
This guide will help you understand:

Step 1: Understanding Your AIOU Result Card (DMC)
The Result Card or Detailed Marks Certificate (DMC) shows your marks semester-wise and confirms your successful course completion.
There are two possible situations:
If Your Result Has No Error or Code (Clean Record)
If there are no codes such as R/E, R/W, or RA/W in your result, AIOU will automatically dispatch your DMC to your postal address.
You do not need to apply separately in this case.
If Your Result Has Codes (R/E, R/W, RA/W)
These codes indicate some issue or pending action in your results:
Code | Meaning | Action Required |
R/E | Re-Evaluation | Pay re-evaluation fee and wait for updated result |
R/W | Re-Writing | Submit application and fee for re-writing |
RA/W | Re-Appear & Writing | Re-appear in the exam and then re-apply |
If these codes appear:
- AIOU will not send your DMC automatically.
- You must apply manually for correction and issuance.
- You must pay an additional fee per subject (check official fee schedule).
- Once resolved, the university issues the updated DMC, and then your degree.
Step 2: How to Generate AIOU Challan for Degree Fee
To pay for your degree, you must generate a fee challan online.
Go to: AIOU Online Challan Download Link
Here, you can:

The system will automatically calculate the total fee based on your course and selected options.
Payment Methods:
You can pay the challan at:
- Any designated bank branch (HBL, UBL, FWBL, etc.)
