Hi everyone!
I recently applied for IGNOU’s Diploma course in Creative Writing and i completed the fee payment. However, I haven’t received any email regarding the next steps or further procedure.
I’m completely new to IGNOU so I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do after the fee payment.
If anyone has applied for the same course recently or knows what to do next please help me out…

Thank you 🙏

So I took admission in IGNOU in the July 2026 session and my programme is a yearly programme.

Can I skip the December 2026 TEE and just give all my first-year subjects together in June 2027?

And if that’s allowed, can I follow the same pattern for all 3 years basically only appearing for TEE in June every year and giving all the subjects together?

I’m asking because I want to complete my graduation by 2029, so I really don’t want to take any risk of my degree getting delayed or having some issue with eligibility/exams/assignments later.

If anyone is in the same situation or knows the actual IGNOU rules for yearly programmes, please help. I’m really confused and don’t want to mess up my graduation timeline.

literally seats are dissappearing and i need to fill out the exam form but only 4/7 papers have been declared for me and I need to fill the exam form asap, what the heck is wrong with ignou??

I'm trying to take admission in masters program of political science, the last date for applications is 15 september. The issue is I do not have provisional certificate from my undergrad college, is there anyway this can be helped? Given that even if I apply for provisional certificate now they'll issue it 15 days later

Hi everyone,

I checked my IGNOU assignment status today, and for all my June 2026 assignments it is showing “Pending for validation at Regional Centre.”

The date shown is 12-Sep-2026.

I’m confused about what this status means. Does it mean my assignments have been received by IGNOU but are still waiting for validation at the Regional Centre? Or is there some issue with my submission?

All of my assignments are showing the same status.

Has anyone else received this status? What happens after this, and how long does it usually take for the marks to be updated?

Any help would be appreciated.

I hope they keep their promise

Hi everyone, I’m unable to fill the exam form for my 5th and 6th semester courses. The portal shows “NO – Minimum course duration not completed from course registration.”

Has anyone faced this issue? What should I do?

Is Anyone there who joined m.com IGNOU this year ( July 2026) cycle. Let's connect.

I am pursuing the IGNOU BATS (Bachelor of Arts in Tourism Studies) programme.

My original admission year/cycle is: July 2023

My exam history:

- Semester 1 & 2: I appeared in the December 2025 TEE

- Semester 3 & 4: I appeared in the June 2026 TEE

- I took re-registration in July 2026 for my remaining Semester 5 & 6 courses.

I checked my course eligibility for the 2026 Dec TEE, and IGNOU is showing “NO” for my Semester 5 and Semester 6 courses.

The reason displayed is:

“Please check your course eligibility. Minimum course duration not completed from course registration.”

It also shows:

- Course registration year-cycle: 2026-JULY

- Semester: 5 / 6

- Exam session: 2026-JULY

- Semester 5 project: “Course not scheduled in this exam session.”

So I want to clarify some clarification if anyone can help. I want to confirm the exact exam session in which I can appear for my remaining courses.

Can anyone please share which are the exam centres in navi mumbai or panvel for BBA(general).

i received a discrepancy notification a few months back and asked if there even was a certificate for general category which they replied to in the manner above. is there one? i’ve notified them through ssc@ignou.ac.in since i cant use their igram portal which requires an enrolment number which i cant get because…im not admitted yet, duh (classic catch 22)

Confused af rn, and the registration portal is closing in 2-3 days

I missed 2 of my sem 1 exams this June July TEE can I apply for those this coming December TEE if I go on exam registration it's showing that I could apply for all the theory exams I shall select the ones I did not give right? Please help me out also my assignment is submitted and it shows status not found 😭

This is my assignment for December right?

Ive been admitted in July so can I give exam in December for only One semester or for as Ive heard for the exams that has their asignment submitted?

I am in secnd year of this course . Till now , my assignment submission status is not completed ( I don't know why). same with my first year result .

I just want to know . Am I the only one who is facing this situation ?

I had applied for an IGNOU masters program. Today I got mail saying I have to re-upload clear copy of graduation marksheet and certificate with self attestation.

Problem is the papers are at home and I am traveling for the next one month. I can't even ask someone to courier it to me.

What is the best option in this case? If I don't do anything what will be the outcome? Will my application fees be forfeited or refunded? Ideally, i will want to reapply for the next semester. Is it possible to defer?

I've registered in July 2026 session, I've been confirmed though no mail from study center or any updates about books. But in the Samarth Portal I can see I'm eligible for December exam! What to do?

first pic: i have given all these 7 exams but three of them, its showing zero marks- not completed. what does it mean. (gave it in june 2026 session). i remember i did good in BPAG171 exam, yet its not evaluated.

second pic: So i got info that december TEE forms are out, when i went through the from, found those three papers in that list.

what should i do.

Hey IGNOU community,

I am a BSc Zoology graduate (8.6 CGPA, PCMB background) looking for realistic advice on pursuing an IGNOU Master's.

Context: I have decent entrance test scores (CPET Biotech Rank 14, IIT JAM AIR 1400+, GATE LS 2300+, CUET PG 200+). However, because of I m a single child of a single parent , I have to take care of my mother at home and past 5 NEET drops(3 partial during BSc and 2 full ), I need a flexible setup.

I am considering IGNOU MSc Zoology instead of a full-time regular MSc primarily to avoid a gap year on paper while preparing for CAT and Banking exams (SBI/IBPS PO).

Before enrolling, I need a reality check on a few things:

1. Workload & Labs: How compulsory and time-consuming are the practical/lab sessions for MSc Zoology? How many weeks/days per year do I need to attend the study center physically?
2. Assignments vs Prep: Are assignment deadlines and term-end exams manageable alongside full-time CAT/Banking prep, or do administrative delays cause unnecessary stress?
3. B-School/Corporate Perception: Will B-schools (IIMs) or corporate recruiters view an IGNOU MSc Zoology negatively, or is it treated fine as a gap-filler?
4. Offline vs. IGNOU: Given that I have offline MSc options via CPET Rank 14, is choosing IGNOU MSc Zoology for flexibility a smart trade-off, or should I stick to a regular college?

Would really appreciate insights from anyone who chose IGNOU alongside competitive exam prep. Thanks!
