Date status (8 October 2026): The January 2024 re-registration cycle is closed. It opened on 5 December 2023, and its deadline was extended to 15 February 2024. IGNOU’s live portal now shows the July 2026 cycle, whose 30 September 2026 deadline has also passed. Check the IGNOU re-registration portal and IGNOU announcements for the next cycle; do not use the January 2024 dates to plan a current application.
IGNOU January 2024 re-registration last date
IGNOU opened January 2024 re-registration on 5 December 2023. The initial deadline was 29 January 2024, but IGNOU extended it to 15 February 2024, according to contemporaneous reporting by The Indian Express. A Chennai regional-centre welcome letter had earlier anticipated an October/November 2023 opening; that was advance guidance, not the actual opening date.
The current portal is for a later session. Its displayed July 2026 cycle had a 30 September 2026 deadline with a ₹200 late fee; that date has passed as of 8 October 2026. Session dates and fees change, so consult the live portal and IGNOU announcements for the next available cycle.
