IGNOU International Students Admission - General Information

Dear All,

I have come to my blogsite after a long time. I thought that I should update my blog on IGNOU frequently so that many many students and prospective students will get up to date information about IGNOU and the courses that it offers. In this blog post, I am going to talk about IGNOU admisssion for International Students and the General News and Updates about IGNOU Admission

IGNOU stands for Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi and the admission of International Students will be handled by the International Division of Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi. IGNOU is known as Open UNiversity, or Distance Education. So, IGNOU publishes notices and announcements for its Distance Education programmes for the International Students throughout the year. So, depending on the nature and type of couse that you want to take, it is important to visit IGNOU website regularly from time and again. 

In case of IGNOU, tudents can register either through Overseas Study Centres or through Regional Centres as Foreign Students Residing in India for admission in IGNOU. So, if you are a foreign citizen living in UAE, you have to go to Overseas Study Centre of IGNOU opened in UAE. Either IGNOU opens such centers directly in foreign countries or in many cases, they are opened through Partner Institutions. These partner institutions are either educational consultancies located in those countries or they can be local colleges/campuses/Universities located in that country.

As per the list of such centers provided here and published by  I.G.N.O.U.  INTERNATIONAL DIVISION as LIST OF APPROVED OVERSEAS STUDY CENTRES   (Activated for Fresh Admission and Existing students) and published in June, 2023, there are more than 20 such centers for admissions authorised by IGNOU.

In case of those foreign nationals and students currently living in India, they can go to Regional Centers of IGNOU. For example, each Indian state has generally a regional center of IGNOU. So, for example, if you live in Telangana State (in Hyderabad City), you can go to regional center of IGNOU located at the following address:

Regional Director
IGNOU Regional Centre
M-5 Block, Ist Floor,Manoranjan Complex
Telangana State Housing Board Complex, (Adjacent to Gandhi Bhavan Metro Station)
MJ Road, Nampally,HYDERABAD- 500001
Telangana State
Phone : 040-23117550, Mobile : 9492451812
Email : rchyderabad@ignou.ac.in

The Complete List of Regional Centers, the Regional Centres' Websites with details have been updated by IGNOU on their website (Updated on 07 Sep, 2022) and can be accessed from here:
