IGNOU Gives Students More Time for Re-registration
The Indira Gandhi National Open University has announced an extension for re-registration. Students now have until January 31, 2026 to complete their re-registration for the January session. This applies to all programs offered through open and distance learning as well as online modes.
Mandatory Process for Continuing Students
All existing IGNOU learners must complete re-registration if they wish to continue their studies in the upcoming academic cycle. The university makes this process mandatory for program continuation. Students need to update their personal details, select their courses, and pay the required fees for the next semester or year.
The re-registration form is available exclusively on the official IGNOU portal at ignou.samarth.edu.in. Students should complete the process well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute issues.
Step-by-Step Registration Guide
Here is how students can complete their re-registration:
- Visit the IGNOU website at ignou.ac.in and click on the re-registration link under "Register Online."
- Carefully read all instructions provided on the portal before proceeding.
- Log in using your enrollment number and password, then fill in your personal details and select your courses.
- Upload any required documents and proceed to make the fee payment through the available online options.
- Review your completed form thoroughly, submit it, and download both the confirmation page and payment receipt for your records.
Students should keep their confirmation documents safe as proof of successful re-registration.
