As of August 27, only four days remain for IGNOU’s July 2026 re-registration. The window closes on August 31, 11:59 pm IST. The deadline covers Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and Online programmes. Students must lock courses, confirm centres, and finish payment. Delays risk missed progression, material dispatch, and practical slots.
Continuing learners moving to the next semester or year must re-register. Fresh admissions do not apply here. Backlog papers usually do not block re-registration. However, pending fees or identity verification may. Confirm your programme code, semester mapping, and current Regional Centre before proceeding.

On the re-registration portal, log in using enrolment number and password. Update contact details, then select programme and semester. Choose courses and valid Study Centre. Verify Regional Centre mapping. Preview the form, accept declarations, and proceed to payment. Download the acknowledgement slip and payment receipt immediately.
UPI failures are common near deadlines due to bank limits and load. If debited, wait 24–48 hours and check Payment History before retrying. Switch gateways, or use net banking or cards. Clear cache, disable auto-fill, and avoid multiple browser tabs. Record transaction reference for escalation.
Programme changes are restricted and vary by school, so read rules on your programme page. Elective swaps are usually allowed during re-registration if credit limits fit. Ensure your selected Study Centre runs chosen courses or labs. Call the Regional Centre to confirm support, session availability, and practical schedules.
Duplicate payments are typically refundable through the portal and bank, subject to timelines. Use form edit options before payment for corrections. After payment, raise a ticket with your Regional Centre. Do not expect a grace period. Save emails, receipts, and screenshots to track status and support future grievance submissions.
Use only the official domain and payment gateways; ignore lookalike links and agents. Never share passwords or one-time passwords. RCs do not collect fees via messaging apps. Verify circulars on official pages and keep acknowledgement slips. Report fraud to your Regional Centre and national cybercrime portal. Finish formalities well before the August 31 cut-off.
