IGNOU Re-Registration Window Closes Today: February 15, 2026
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has announced that the re-registration portal for the January 2026 academic session will shut down today, February 15, 2026. This marks the final opportunity for existing students to secure their place in the upcoming semester or academic year.
Extended Deadline and Critical Implications
The university had previously extended the deadline from January 31 to February 15, offering learners additional time to complete necessary formalities and fee payments. With this extension now ending, students who fail to re-register will face significant consequences: they will not be permitted to advance to the next semester or academic year, directly impacting their academic progress. IGNOU has emphasized that re-registration is compulsory for all continuing students, while fresh admission applicants should note that this portal is not for them.
Fee Payment and Application Process
Candidates must pay a re-registration fee of Rs 300 exclusively through the official online portal. The university has issued a warning to avoid last-minute submissions due to potential heavy traffic and technical glitches. To assist students, here are the steps to apply:
- Visit the official re-registration portal at onlinerr.ignou.ac.in.
- Log in using your username and password (register first if new).
- Select your programme and the relevant semester or academic year.
- Verify and fill in the required details carefully.
- Upload scanned documents: recent photograph, signature, and any required certificates.
- Pay the Rs 300 fee online.
- Submit the form and download the confirmation page for your records.
Required Documents and Final Reminders
Students should prepare the following documents in scanned format for upload:
- Recent photograph
- Signature
- Relevant educational qualification certificates, if applicable
- Category or experience certificates, where required
IGNOU advises aspirants to stay updated via the official website for complete details. Failure to complete this process risks losing a semester, underscoring the urgency of today's deadline.
