Answers to the most common questions about IGNOU admission, results, assignments, and more.
You can apply for IGNOU admission online through the official portal at ignouadmission.samarth.edu.in. IGNOU offers two admission cycles — January and July. To apply, visit the portal, register with your email ID and mobile number, fill in your personal and academic details, choose your programme and study centre, upload documents, and pay the admission fee online. The process is fully digital and can be completed from your mobile phone. Always check our Admission section for the latest dates and step-by-step guidance.
IGNOU usually declares the Term End Examination (TEE) results within 45–60 days after the exams conclude. The June TEE result is generally published in August–September, while the December TEE result comes in February–March. You can check your result on the official IGNOU result portal at ignou.ac.in/results. We post alerts immediately when results are declared, so bookmark our Results section for instant updates.
IGNOU assignments must be submitted to your assigned Study Centre before the deadline — typically February 28 for June exams and September 30 for December exams. You need to handwrite (or type, as per your programme) the assignment responses, attach the front page with your Enrolment Number, Programme Code, and Study Centre Code, and submit the physical copy at your Study Centre. Some programmes also accept online submission. Assignments are compulsory and count towards your overall grade.
IGNOU Hall Tickets (Admit Cards) for TEE are available on the official IGNOU website approximately 2–3 weeks before the exam. Visit ignou.ac.in → Student Zone → Hall Ticket, enter your Enrolment Number and Programme Code, and download your admit card. Take a printout and carry it along with a valid photo ID to the exam centre. We publish a direct link and step-by-step guide on our Hall Ticket page as soon as it becomes available.
IGNOU Re-Registration is the process of enrolling for your second and subsequent academic years in a multi-year programme. If you are in a 2-year or 3-year programme (like BA, BCA, MA), you must re-register each year to continue your studies. The re-registration window opens twice a year — around January–February and July–August. Missing the deadline may require you to pay a late fee. You can re-register online through the IGNOU student portal. Check our Re-Registration section for exact dates and the step-by-step process.
Yes, IGNOU students are eligible for several government scholarships. The most common ones include the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) scholarships for SC, ST, OBC, and minority students, state government scholarships, and the ISHAN UDAY scholarship for North-East students. IGNOU itself does not offer direct financial scholarships, but as a UGC-recognized university, its students qualify for most government education scholarships. Our Scholarship section lists all available schemes with eligibility criteria and application links.
IGNOU provides free study material (Self Learning Materials / SLMs) to all enrolled students, either physically by post or digitally via the eGyanKosh portal at egyankosh.ac.in. You can download PDFs of all course books for free. Previous year question papers are available on the IGNOU official website and also compiled on our Study Material page. We regularly update links to the latest question papers and solved assignments to help you prepare effectively.
Yes, IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) is a fully recognized central university established by an Act of Parliament in 1985. It is accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with an 'A' grade and is ranked among the world's largest universities. IGNOU degrees are recognized by the UGC, AICTE (for relevant programmes), and government employers. An IGNOU degree holds the same value as any other central university degree for government jobs, higher studies, and private employment.
The IGNOU Exam Form (for Term End Examination) must be filled online on the official portal. Visit ignou.ac.in → Student Zone → Examination Form. Login using your Enrolment Number, select the courses you wish to appear for, and pay the exam fee (₹200 per course, approximately). The exam form window is generally open 3–4 months before the exam. A late fee applies if you submit after the regular deadline. We alert our readers the moment the exam form opens — check our Exam Form page for the latest status.
Yes, IGNOU allows students to pursue two programmes simultaneously, provided the programmes are not conflicting. This policy was introduced to support working professionals and students who wish to enhance their qualifications. However, this comes with certain conditions — the combination must be permissible, and you must be able to manage assignments and exams for both programmes independently. Always check the official IGNOU prospectus or our Admission section for the latest dual-programme policy updates.
