Re-registration is for current IGNOU students enrolled in ODL and Online programmes across undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma streams. Keep your enrollment number, password and course choices ready before you log in.
If you plan to add extra courses, confirm availability for the July session on the portal. IGNOU’s regional centres can be contacted for procedural or technical assistance if you encounter issues while using the Samarth portal.

Missing the June 30, 2026 deadline does not block re-enrolment but adds a INR 200 late fee. Early re-registration reduces the risk of portal delays and helps secure spots in high-demand courses.
