Starting Your Journey with IGNOU
Once you have successfully enrolled in an MA program with IGNOU Indira Gandhi National Open University, the next step is to obtain your ID card. This card is an essential document for accessing your online studies and participating in various university activities. Follow these steps to ensure you obtain your ID card promptly.
Admission Confirmation
Ensure Your Admission is Confirmed: Before proceeding, make sure that your admission is confirmed. IGNOU will generally send an acknowledgment or confirmation message to your registered email or contact number.
Checking Your Student Portal
Log in to the IGNOU Student Portal: Use your enrollment number and password to login to the IGNOU Student Portal. Navigate through the portal to Download Your ID Card.
In many cases, you can download the ID card directly from the portal. Look for an option labeled as 'Download ID Card.' This process is straightforward and can save you time and effort.
Contact Regional Centre for Assistance
If You Cannot Find Your ID Card Online: Reach out to your regional IGNOU center for assistance. Our centers are always ready to provide specific guidance on obtaining your ID card.
Visit the Regional Centre in Person (If Necessary)
If You Need to Visit in Person: Follow the instructions provided by IGNOU regarding the ID card issuance. Visit the nearest regional center if you are unable to obtain the card online.
Additional Support from IGNOU
If you encounter any issues during the process, IGNOU's official website and helpline can provide additional support. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your smooth experience.
Important Notes on Your ID Card
Your ID card will be available on the site you took admission from. The PDF is protected and can be opened by entering your enrollment number as the password. It's crucial to download and color print the ID card. However, some regional centers also provide the option to request the card in person.
Alternatively, you can install the Ignou Student App from the Google Play Store or log into the Ignou website to get your ID card. For students who enrolled in the Jan 2020 cycle, sometimes it may take some time to upload your ID card. The Ignou app is the easiest and most user-friendly method.
In rare cases, you may receive your ID card through courier. If you do not receive it within three months, you can visit the nearest regional center and collect it using your enrollment number.
Printing your Ignou ID card online is possible, but for verification purposes, you will need to visit your regional center to stamp the card. Without verification, the card is essentially of no use.
If you require any further assistance, feel free to contact your regional center directly. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your success and satisfaction during your academic journey with IGNOU.
