What is IGNOU Re-Registration?

IGNOU re-registration is the process by which current students who are studying undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, or certificate courses carry on their studies into the subsequent semester or year.

It is NOT for new admissions. Re-registration is only for students who have already taken admission in a course and are moving to the next level.

For instance:

• If you are in the first year of BA and wish to move to the second year, you must re-register.
• If you’re studying M.Com and wish to enter your final semester, you must do re-registration.

Who Should Apply for IGNOU Re-Registration?

You must apply if:

• You are a IGNOU student (UG, PG, or diploma level)
• You’ve finished your current semester/year or are due to proceed to the next
• You do not wish to have a gap in your studies
  Courses that need re-registration:
• UG Courses: BA, B.Com, B.Sc, BCA, BTS, BSW, etc.
• PG Courses: MA, M.Com, MSc, MSW, MCA, etc.
• Certificates & Diplomas: PGDCA, DECE, DNHE, etc.

Note: You can still re-register and write backlogs if you have not cleared all your subjects within the current year.
