IGNOU July 2025 Registration Deadline Extended: Apply Now!

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has extended the re-registration deadline for the July 2025 academic session to 15 July 2025. It means students now have additional time to enroll in both Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and online programmes. The re-registration process started on 15 May 2025 and is mandatory for all continuing students to maintain their academic progress.

Who Needs to Re-Register?

Re-registration is compulsory for all current IGNOU students who want to continue their studies, regardless of whether they appeared for the previous term-end exams or submitted assignments. This process is different from new admissions, which apply to students enrolling in IGNOU programs for the first time. Only students who complete the re-registration process will be eligible to attend classes and appear for the Term-End Examination (TEE) for the July 2025 session.
