How to Change Regional Center of IGNOU - Issues for Nepalese IGNOU Students

We request you to read this blog post here before reading the current blog if you want to know how international students can change their partner institution or Regional Centers of IGNOU University from one country to another.

In this blogpost, we are specifically dealing with the case of Nepalese Students who are studying in IGNOU India and who want to transfer their Registration from some Regional Center of India to Partner Institutions of IGNOU in Nepal. This blogpost will also be equally applicable when you want to understand how to change Regional Center (RC) of Ignou from Kathmandu, Nepal to India.

WE have received the following query from Nepali Student who is currently studying at IGNOU University India. Nepali Student who is studying at IGNOU University at India is Mr. Subodh Niraula and he asks us the following questions:

I want to shift my examination center from IGNOU India to Kathmandu, Nepal Center of IGNOU University. So, what are the requirements of shifting Study Center and Regional Center of IGNOU by International Students enrolled in IGNOU? I heard that I need to submit my assignments to my Delhi based study center of IGNOU and request them to transfer my exam center to IGNOU, Kathmandu, Nepal. Is it right?

What exactly should I do to transfer my IGNOU Study and Regional Center from New Delhi, India to IGNOU, Kathmandu? And what is the last date of submission of exam form for December, 2015 Term End Examination (TEE)? 

OUR ANSWER:

Dear Subodh, Please note that there is no provision of shifting/transferring/ or changing only the Examination Centers of IGNOU University for one year. Therefore, you have to change the Regional Center/Study Center/Partner Institution, i.e. everything related to your IGNOU Education from India to Nepal. If there are IGNOU Students studying in IGNOU, Nepal and if they are looking for shifting/transferring/ or changing their IGNOU Centers, the same will apply. That is international students of IGNOU needs to change their Partner Institutions as a whole.

If one IGNOU Student wants to change his Study Center (SC) under a Regional Center (RC) within India, that is possible but for International Students of IGNOU, they need to change the entire partner institution/Regional Center when they want to transfer their IGNOU Registration from one country to another.

You have to also understand that there is no concept of Regional Center (RC) and Study Center (SC) for international students who have joined IGNOU Outside India. IGNOU Operates through Partner Institutions outsiude India and a Center will act as a Regional Center as well as the Study Center for International Students who have enrolled outside India with IGNOU University.

As per IGNOU Websites, currently there are following IGNOU Partner Institutions (IGNOU Study Centers) in NEPAL:

IGNOU Center Code: 9602 (IGNOU PARTNER INSTITUTION) - Contact Person: MR BISWAJIT MUKHERJEE - Name of the Institution: INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR ACADEMICS P. LTD.,GYNESHWOR, WARD NO. 33, KATHMANDU-NEPAL

IGNOU Center Code: 9604 (IGNOU PARTNER INSTITUTION) - Contact Person: - Name of the Institution: NEPAL INFOR. TECH. PVT. LTD, SHANKAR SADAN,DAV COMPLEX, DHOBIGHAT, LALITPUR, PO BOX 21928, KATHMANDU-NEPAL

Therefore, any Nepalese or Indian or any International Persons currently residing in Nepal and who want to study IGNOU Nepal can contact the above two institutions in Nepal and can study IGNOU University Education in Nepal. Please note that IGNOU Operates through International Partner Institutions in Nepal and in other countries outside India. These IGNOU Partner Institutions act both as Regional Center (RC) and Study Center (SC) of IGNOU In Nepal.

In our next post, we will discuss how to change your regional center and study center of IGNOU from India to Partner Institution in Nepal. We will also discuss how to change your study from Partner Institution in Nepal to regional center and study center of IGNOU in India.
