Indira Gandhi National Open University has extended the December 2026 TEE exam form deadline. Students can apply without late fee until October 7, 11:59 pm IST. The extension covers both Open and Distance Learning and Online programmes. Those anxious about centres, fees, or backlog choices get one final window. Submit early to avoid glitches.
Learners planning December attempts for backlog, improvement, pending, or final-year courses should apply. The standard fee is ₹200 per theory course under the current structure. Ensure valid registration and minimum study period before selecting papers. Keep assignment timelines in view because eligibility checks follow programme rules. Both Open and Distance Learning and Online mode students are covered.

After October 7, a late-fee window opens from October 8 to October 15. The university has fixed a flat late fee of ₹1,100 for this period. Avoid last-hour rush because traffic spikes can stall payments and centre allocation. Submit the form only for eligible courses.
| Item | Dates | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Without late fee | Up to October 7, 2026 (11:59 pm IST) | ₹200 per theory course |
| With late fee | October 8–15, 2026 | ₹1,100 late fee (plus course fees) |
At ₹200 per theory course, costs rise quickly if you select many backlogs. Prioritise clear, clash‑free choices that match your preparation. Practical, internship, and project fees run through a separate Samarth link. The university has set November 30 as the last date for those payments this session.
Log in to your Samarth account, choose December 2026 TEE, and select only eligible courses. Pick an exam city and centre code carefully, then review clashes. Confirm name, programme, and enrollment details, proceed to pay, and download the receipt. If eligibility or course lists look wrong, contact your division immediately.
Centre-change requests are handled by Regional Centres and remain limited; once allotted, centres usually cannot change. Track October checkpoints: the tentative December 2026 date sheet is live, hall tickets are expected next month, and exams are planned from November 25. Keep monitoring IGNOU announcements and your Samarth login for updates.
