IGNOU January 2026 Re-Registration Deadline Extended to Feb 15

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has once again extended the last date for January 2026 re-registration for both Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and online programmes. Eligible learners who have not yet completed their re-registration for the January session can now submit their forms online through the official IGNOU portal at ignou.ac.in until 15 February 2026. This extension provides students with additional time beyond the earlier deadline of 31 January 2026, ensuring a wider window to complete administrative formalities for continuing their academic programmes.

Who Must Re-Register and Why?

Existing students enrolled in IGNOU’s ODL and online courses — ranging from undergraduate to postgraduate levels — must complete re-registration to continue into the next semester or academic year. Re-registration helps the university confirm course continuation, update records and enable access to academic resources and examinations. Both Indian and international students enrolled in eligible programmes must comply with the re-registration process to maintain their academic status

How to Apply for IGNOU January 2026 Re-Registration?

Candidates planning to re-register should follow the official process available on the IGNOU website. Key steps typically include:

1. Visit the official re-registration portal at onlinerr.ignou.ac.in

3. Log in with your registered user ID and password.
4. Fill in the re-registration form with updated personal and programme details.
5. Upload required documents, including scanned photo and signature.
6. Pay the re-registration fee (generally INR 300) online.

Documents and Fee Requirements

To complete the re-registration process, candidates must upload clear digital copies of basic documents such as:

The re-registration fee for the January 2026 session is typically INR 300, and it must be paid online to successfully register or re-register.

What Happens After Re-Registration?
