Learners must exercise caution and be vigilant while submitting their admission forms. They should note their User ID and Password for future use. Also, the DEB ID is mandatory for the submission of the application, which must be created before starting the application process.
IGNOU launched around 60 new programmes in 2023-24, including Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes (FYUP) in Commerce, Economics, History, Political Science, Public Administration, Sociology, Anthropology, Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, Social Work, Philosophy, Biochemistry, and Facilities and Service Management.
