Indira Gandhi National Open University extends the deadlines for January 2026 fresh admissions and re-registration, offering students additional time to complete their applications. The extension supports learners who face delays due to document submission, fee payment, or programme selection.
IGNOU’s January cycle allows candidates to apply for a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and certificate programmes through online mode and open and distance learning. For fresh admissions, eligible candidates must meet the minimum educational qualifications prescribed for each programme. For re-registration, existing learners can move to the next semester or year by submitting the required details and fees within the revised timeline.
The application process remains online. Applicants need to register on the official portal, fill in personal and academic information, upload necessary documents, and complete the fee payment. IGNOU advises students to verify programme eligibility and ensure accuracy before final submission to avoid issues during confirmation.
With the extended deadlines, learners are encouraged to apply early and not wait until the last date. Timely registration helps ensure smooth processing and access to study materials and academic schedules.
