IGNOU December 2026 Exam Form: Submit Today to Avoid ₹1,100 Late Fee Penalty

Today, October 7, is the last day to submit IGNOU December 2026 Term-End Examination forms without any late fee. Eligible learners in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and Online programmes should apply now, as the portal may be crowded. From October 8 to 15, a ₹1,100 late fee applies, as officially notified.

The base schedule fixed the per‑course theory exam fee at ₹200, with the university later extending the no‑late‑fee date to today. The late‑fee window remains October 8 to 15. Forms are submitted through the Samarth student login, with careful selection of nearby exam centres advised in the notice.

How to apply for IGNOU December TEE exam form today

Log in to your Samarth student account. Open Examinations and choose December 2026 TEE. Select your programme, then add correct course codes. Pick an available exam centre. Review the summary, then pay digitally. Download the acknowledgement and note the control number. Use the Examination Form or Payment Status option to confirm submission.

IGNOU December TEE fees, late fee window, and what to budget

Budget ₹200 per theory course when paying today. If you miss today, the same per‑course fee applies, plus a ₹1,100 late fee from October 8 to 15. Project or practical components, if applicable to your programme, are paid separately through Samarth as notified earlier.

Choosing the right exam centre on Samarth and checking status

Choose a nearby centre that you can realistically reach on exam days. Seats may be limited at popular centres, so confirm promptly. After payment, verify the Examination Form or Payment Status inside Samarth. If no status appears, resubmit the form within the deadline to avoid issues.

Common exam form mistakes and quick fixes on the portal

Avoid wrong course codes and duplicate submissions. Add all intended courses in one attempt, or your centre choice may change. Use only the listed payment gateway; chargebacks can withhold results. Always review the form summary before paying, and keep the acknowledgement for future reference.

If the IGNOU exam form portal is slow, what should you do

Try during off‑peak hours, refresh cautiously, and avoid multiple quick payments. Keep your transaction ID and bank SMS. If the status does not update, check the Payment Status page, then retry once. For persistent issues, email the exam branch or seek help from your Regional Centre.

Submit your form today to avoid the late fee and secure a practical exam centre. Keep ₹200 per theory course ready, confirm your acknowledgement, and verify submission status. If you miss today, use the October 8–15 window with a ₹1,100 late fee and track your payment carefully.
