IGNOU Re-Registration for the January 2026 session has officially started. Eligible students can now apply online for their next semester or year through the IGNOU Re-Registration portal.
Latest Update: The Re-registration for the January 2026 session for all ODL and Online programmes is commencing from 1st December 2025, and the last date of Re-registration will be 15th January 2026.
If you missed the previous July 2025 session, you can re-register in the January 2026 session (subject to programme eligibility and availability). Note that this may extend your overall course duration by approximately six months.
What is IGNOU Re-Registration 2026?
IGNOU Re-Registration is the process for existing students to enroll for the next semester or academic year in their ongoing programme. The re-registration process is available only online and is applicable to students enrolled in programmes of more than one year duration.
For the January 2026 session, both Indian and International students can re-register online through the official IGNOU Re-Registration portal.
IGNOU Registration vs Re-Registration 2026
| IGNOU Registration | IGNOU Re-Registration |
|---|---|
| For fresh admission to a new programme. | For continuing your next semester or year. |
| Done once at the start of your course. | Done every semester/year until completion. |
| Requires a one-time registration fee of ₹300. | At the time of re-registration, students normally pay the prescribed programme fee for their next semester or year. Any late fee or additional re-registration charges (if applicable) will be as per IGNOU’s official notification for that session and programme. |
| Applicable for new students | Used for existing students. |
Why IGNOU Re-Registration is Important
Re-registration is mandatory for continuing your course. Without completing it within the given deadline, your enrollment may lapse, and you could lose your admission.
It ensures:
- Continuation of your academic journey.
- Access to study materials and exam registration.
- Progression to the next semester or year.
If your course is divided into multiple semesters (for example, a 2-year or 3-year programme), you must re-register before each term’s deadline to stay active.
