The Indira Gandhi National Open University or IGNOU has extended the enrollment dates for the July 2025 Online Distance Learning admission to October 15, 2025. Those seeking admission in the July batch can now register online through IGNOU’s official website @ignouadmission.samarth.edu.in. The application deadline has been extended by the Open University for all online and distance learning programs, excluding certificate and semester-based courses.
The Open University has asked students to apply for the online programs, provided they have a personal access to a computer with an internet connection. The students have been pre-informed that the learning will take place in an online format. The university has also stated that no printed study will be provided to the ODL students. If candidates find online learning unsuitable, they may choose to enroll in the program through the ODL mode at ignouadmission.samarth.edu.in.
What is IGNOU ODL?
IGNOU ODL means the Open and Distance Learning system from Indira Gandhi National Open University. It lets people study anytime and anywhere using study materials, online resources, and help from counselors. This way of learning is flexible and does not need students to attend regular classes. IGNOU started this to make education available for everyone, including working people and those who live far away, so more people can get a good education and increase the number of students studying in the country.
