1. What is an examination form?
An examination form is simply the application you fill to appear in your IGNOU TEE (Term-End Exam). To sit for the December 2026 exams, you must fill and submit this form online — that's it. No form, no exam.
1. Examination form क्या होता है?
Examination form बस वह application है जो आपको IGNOU TEE (Term-End Exam) में बैठने के लिए भरनी होती है। December 2026 के exam देने के लिए यह form online भरकर submit करना पड़ता है — बस इतना ही। Form नहीं तो exam नहीं।

3. How to fill the IGNOU exam form — the safe way
Use the examination service linked from IGNOU or the official Samarth student portal. IGNOU's current examination instructions direct students to the Samarth platform for form submission. citeturn0search0
Use your own student account. Never give your password or OTP to an agent.
Do not select a course merely because you studied it previously. Confirm that it is available for the current TEE.
Read the current session's centre instructions before submitting.
Check programme, course codes, centre and personal details before payment.
Keep the transaction/reference proof.
A screenshot/PDF is useful if you later need to raise a query.
3. IGNOU exam form कैसे भरें — safe तरीका
IGNOU से linked examination service या official Samarth student portal use करें। Current instructions Samarth platform से exam form submission की बात करती हैं। citeturn0search0
अपना student account use करें। किसी agent को password या OTP न दें।
सिर्फ इसलिए course select न करें क्योंकि आपने पहले पढ़ा था। Current TEE के लिए eligibility देखें।
Submission से पहले current session की centre instructions पढ़ें।
Programme, course codes, centre और personal details check करें।
Transaction/reference proof जरूर रखें।
Screenshot/PDF बाद में query करने में काम आ सकता है।
4. Course selection: one of the biggest mistakes students make
The safest approach is to treat the official portal as your final eligibility check. If a course is not appearing even though you believe you are eligible, do not randomly select another course. IGNOU's examination instructions tell students whose eligible course is not reflected in the drop-down to contact the concerned Student Registration Division (SRD). citeturn0search0
Course missing
Check registration validity, programme rules and the official portal. If an eligible course is not reflected, use the contact route given by IGNOU rather than guessing.
Result is pending
Do not automatically assume that you must wait. Current/previous official instructions have advised eligible students in some situations to submit the form without waiting for a pending result.
4. Course selection: students की सबसे common mistake
सबसे safe तरीका यह है कि official portal में दिखाई देने वाली eligibility को final check मानें। अगर आपको लगता है कि कोई course eligible है लेकिन dropdown में नहीं आ रहा, तो दूसरा course guess करके select न करें। IGNOU की instructions ऐसे मामलों में concerned Student Registration Division (SRD) से contact करने को कहती हैं। citeturn0search0
Course नहीं दिख रहा
Registration validity, programme rules और official portal check करें। Eligible course missing हो तो IGNOU के दिए contact route का इस्तेमाल करें।
Result pending है
यह मानकर न चलें कि form रोकना जरूरी है। कुछ official session instructions ने eligible students को pending result के बावजूद form submit करने की सलाह दी है।
5. Official IGNOU links (direct access)
Tap any link below to go straight to the official IGNOU page — no need to search or use agents/copied portals.
5. Official IGNOU links (सीधे पहुंचें)
नीचे दिए किसी भी link पर click करें — सीधे official IGNOU page पर पहुंच जाएंगे। Search करने या agent/copied portal इस्तेमाल करने की जरूरत नहीं।
6. Exam centre: choose it like you may have to live with the choice
This is not the place to “fix it later”. Official December 2025 instructions said no request for change of exam centre would be entertained. The June 2026 instructions likewise state that no request for change after online submission will be entertained. citeturn0search1turn0search0
Your study centre and your exam centre are not the same thing. While filling the exam form, you choose an exam centre from the list shown to you (usually near your city) — it doesn't have to match your study centre. Just pick it carefully, since changes are not entertained after submission.
6. Exam centre: इसे बाद में ठीक करने के भरोसे पर submit मत करें
December 2025 की official instructions में exam-centre change request entertain न करने की बात थी। June 2026 की instructions में भी online submission के बाद centre change request entertain न करने की बात दी गई। citeturn0search1turn0search0
Study centre और exam centre दोनों अलग चीज़ें हैं। Exam form भरते समय आपको exam centre choose करना होता है (आमतौर पर आपके शहर के पास वाली list में से) — यह आपके study centre जैसा होना जरूरी नहीं। बस ध्यान से चुनें, क्योंकि submit करने के बाद change entertain नहीं होता।
7. Payment deducted but form/status is not showing?
This is one of the most stressful situations, so do not panic and do not immediately make multiple payments.
Step 1 — Save proof
Keep the bank/payment reference, date, amount and screenshot of the portal.
Step 2 — Check status
Use the official examination-form status option. Older official instructions note that status can sometimes take time to reflect.
Step 3 — Avoid chargeback without understanding the rule
IGNOU warns that improper chargeback can have serious consequences for examination/result processing. Follow the current official instructions.
Step 4 — Contact the exam section
For examination-form status/control-number queries, IGNOU lists termendexam@ignou.ac.in and 011-29572209 in its examination instructions. citeturn0search0
7. Payment कट गया लेकिन form/status नहीं दिख रहा?
यह सबसे stressful problems में से एक है। घबराएं नहीं और तुरंत बार-बार payment न करें।
Step 1 — Proof रखें
Bank/payment reference, date, amount और portal screenshot save करें।
Step 2 — Status check करें
Official examination-form status option से check करें। पुराने official instructions में status reflect होने में समय लगने की बात भी रही है।
Step 3 — बिना समझे chargeback न करें
IGNOU ने improper chargeback के examination/result consequences के बारे में warning दी है। Current official instructions follow करें।
Step 4 — Exam section से contact करें
Form status/control-number queries के लिए IGNOU की instructions में termendexam@ignou.ac.in और 011-29572209 दिए गए हैं। citeturn0search0

Its instructions also list exclusions for certain MCQ/OMR examinations and state that re-evaluation is for TEE, not projects/dissertations, practicals/lab courses, assignments and similar components. citeturn1search0
