The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has once again extended the registration and re-registration deadline for its July 2025 session, offering students more time to apply for Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programmes.

The latest extension comes as a relief for fresh applicants as well as continuing students who faced difficulties in meeting the earlier deadlines. Candidates can now apply until August 31, 2025, through the official IGNOU portals.

Deadline extension details

IGNOU had initially set the deadline for fresh ODL admissions in July 2025 as July 15. This was extended to August 15, 2025, and now, in its latest notification, the university has confirmed that the new deadline for both fresh admissions and re-registration is August 31, 2025.

The extension ensures that no learner is left out due to technical glitches, documentation delays, or other personal constraints.
