The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has announced the extension of the last date for fresh admissions and re-registration for the July 2024 session. The new deadline is set for August 14, 2024. This extension applies to all programmes offered in both Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and online modes.
Students seeking fresh admissions can access the ODL portal at ignouadmission.samarth.edu.in and the online portal at ignouiop.samarth.edu.in. For re-registration, students are directed to visit ignou.samarth.edu.in.
The extension offers a much-needed opportunity for students who may have faced challenges in meeting the original deadlines. This move is expected to accommodate a larger number of students aiming to pursue higher education through IGNOU’s flexible learning options.
For fresh admissions, students interested in enrolling in undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and certificate programmes can apply through the designated ODL and online portals. For re-registration, the existing students who need to re-register for the next semester or academic year can do so through the re-registration portal. This process is crucial for continuing their studies without interruption.
