When will the IGNOU June 2026 Term-End Exam (TEE) date sheet be released?

The tentative date sheet for the IGNOU June 2026 Term-End Examination has been released on the official website. The final date sheet is usually published a few weeks before the exams begin. Keep checking ignouinformation.in regularly for the latest live updates.

What is the last date to submit IGNOU assignments?

The assignment submission deadline depends on your exam session. Generally, for the June TEE, the deadline is March 31st, and for the December TEE, it is September 30th. However, these dates are frequently extended by the university.

Is an APAAR ID mandatory for IGNOU Samarth admission?

Yes, starting from the current academic cycles, providing a valid APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) or ABC ID (Academic Bank of Credits) has been made mandatory by IGNOU during the registration process on the Samarth portal.

What should I do if I forget my IGNOU Samarth portal login credentials?

If you forget your Username or Password, go to the respective IGNOU Samarth login page and click on the 'Forgot Password?' or 'Forgot Username?' links. You can reset them by entering your registered mobile number, email ID, or Enrollment Number.

How can I track my admission status after registering on the IGNOU Samarth portal?

After submitting your application form, login to your Samarth account. Your dashboard will display the current status of your application. Once verified by the regional centre, your Enrollment Number will be generated and sent via SMS and email.

IGNOU Mobile Number and Email Change 2026: Samarth Portal Update Process

A practical, student-first guide by IGNOU Information

Quick answer: The correct route depends on your stage. Correct an editable admission form before final submission. After submission, use the applicant dashboard or contact the Centralised Student Registration Cell. A confirmed student should check the Samarth Student Portal; if the fields are locked, request correction through the Regional Centre or Student Service Centre. Do not create a duplicate account because the old mobile number or email is unavailable.

Official IGNOU Links to Open First

Use only the official domains above for login, OTP, password reset and grievance submission. Do not open look-alike links received through random messages. IGNOU asks fresh applicants to register with their own active email address and mobile number because these details are verified and used for official communication.

One important limitation should be understood at the beginning: the Samarth dashboard and available menu options can vary by admission cycle, programme and record status. Some students may see an editable profile or contact option, while others may only see read-only details. Therefore, this guide does not promise a universal self-edit button. It explains what to try in the portal and what to do when the field is locked.

Why Your Registered Mobile Number and Email Matter

Your registered contact details are part of your student record, not just optional profile information. IGNOU may use them for admission confirmation, discrepancy notices, OTP verification, password recovery and other academic communication. If either detail is wrong, you can miss an action deadline even when the rest of the application is correct.

The registered email may receive admission confirmation, scrutiny messages and account-recovery communication.
The registered mobile number may receive OTPs, SMS alerts and status messages.
Both details help support staff match a complaint to the correct application or enrollment record.
An active personal contact is safer than an agent, cyber-cafe operator or relative controlling your login.

Choose the Correct Update Route

Your current stage	Correct first action
Form not finally submitted	Edit the contact details in the admission form, verify the new email/mobile if prompted, and review the form before final submission.
Form submitted; admission pending	Check Applicant Login for a correction or discrepancy facility. If the fields are locked, contact CSRC with the control number and evidence.
Admission confirmed; enrollment received	Sign in to the Samarth Student Portal and check Profile or service options. If editing is unavailable, contact the allotted Regional Centre or SSC.
Old email/mobile inaccessible	Do not create a second account. Use official password recovery if possible; otherwise submit an identity-backed request through the relevant support channel.

Case 1 Change Details Before Final Admission Submission

This is normally the easiest stage to correct a mistake. Sign in to the same fresh-admission account you created, reopen the application and check the personal or contact-information section. If the form is still editable, replace the incorrect detail with an active email address or mobile number that you personally control.

Open the official Fresh Admission Portal and use Applicant Login.
Open the saved application and go to the contact or personal-details section.
Enter the new active mobile number or email address exactly. Check every digit and spelling.
Complete OTP verification if the portal asks for it. Never share the OTP with an agent.
Save the section, preview the full application and confirm that the updated detail appears correctly.
Complete final submission only after downloading or saving a copy of the reviewed application.

Changing an email field may not automatically change an email-based login credential. Follow the options shown in your dashboard, and contact CSRC before making a second registration.

Case 2 Change Details After Submission but Before Admission Confirmation

After final submission, important fields may be locked because IGNOU has started scrutiny. First sign in to Applicant Login and check whether a correction window, discrepancy response or editable contact section is visible. Use that facility if it specifically allows the required change. Save the acknowledgement or screenshot after submitting the correction.

If no edit option is displayed, contact the Centralised Student Registration Cell at 011-29571528 or csrc@ignou.ac.in. Mention that the application is submitted but admission is not yet confirmed. Include the control number, programme, session, applicant name, old contact detail, requested new contact detail and the exact portal status. A complete message is easier to trace than repeated one-line emails.

Do not send a full unmasked Aadhaar number, card details, password or OTP. If identity proof is requested, share only what is necessary and use an official channel. Keep the original file safely and retain the sent-email date and any ticket or response number.

Case 3 Samarth Portal Process for Confirmed Students

A registered student should start with the official IGNOU Samarth Student Portal. Sign in using the enrollment number and password. If you have never activated the account, use New Registration. If you know the account but forgot the password, use the official Reset Password option. The recovery flow may still depend on the contact details already recorded, which is why an inaccessible old number can require manual verification.

Open the official Samarth Student Portal and sign in with your enrollment number and password.
Open Profile, My Profile, Personal Details or the nearest available student-service menu.
Check whether the mobile number and email fields are editable. Menu names can differ between accounts.
If an Update, Edit or Change option is available, enter the new active details and complete OTP verification if requested.
Submit the request once. Save the confirmation page, service-request number or screenshot.
Log out and sign in again later to confirm that the profile displays the revised detail.

If the contact fields are read-only, the option is missing or submission fails, do not force repeated registrations. The Student Registration Division maintains student records, while Regional Centres and the Student Service Centre guide students on profile-related corrections. Send a signed request with supporting proof if your Regional Centre asks for it. Requirements can vary, so follow the current instruction given for your record.

When the Old Mobile Number or Email Is No Longer Accessible

Loss of access is more complicated than a simple correction because the university must protect the account from unauthorised takeover. Start with the official Reset Password option. If the OTP or recovery message goes only to the old contact, take a screenshot of the failed or blocked step and contact the appropriate support office.

State clearly that the old mobile number or email is unavailable; do not write only “login problem.”
Provide the enrollment number or admission control number, programme, session, Regional Centre and Study Centre.
Mention the old detail as recorded and the new detail requested, but never include a password or OTP.
Attach the student ID card or admission confirmation and a suitably masked identity proof if requested.
Ask for a written acknowledgement or reference number and keep it until the update is verified.

Avoid creating a duplicate admission account with the new email merely to regain access. Duplicate profiles can separate your payment, application and student record. Also avoid using someone else’s email as a temporary shortcut; the new contact should remain available throughout your programme.

Documents and Details to Keep Ready

Evidence or detail	How it helps
Enrollment or control number	Identifies the correct confirmed-student record or pending application.
Programme and admission session	Helps the office route the request to the relevant admission cycle.
Regional and Study Centre details	Helps identify the offices connected with the student record.
Old and new contact details	Shows exactly what must be replaced and prevents an incomplete update.
Admission confirmation or ID card	Supports the link between the requester and the enrollment record.
Signed request and masked ID proof	May be required for identity verification when the old contact is inaccessible.
Screenshots and prior reference	Records the portal error, locked field and earlier follow-up.

Test the new mobile number and email before submitting the request. Remove accidental spaces and check every digit and spelling; another typo can restart the process.

Regional Centre Student Service Centre and iGRAM

Use a sensible escalation sequence. For a fresh applicant whose enrollment is not confirmed, CSRC and the applicant dashboard are the main starting points. For a confirmed student, the allotted Regional Centre or Student Service Centre can guide the profile-update request. The official IGNOU contact page lists student enquiry numbers 011-29572513 and 011-29572514, and office timings are generally shown as 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM from Monday to Friday.

If a registered student has already used the relevant support route and the issue remains unresolved, submit a grievance through the official iGRAM root at https://igram.ignou.ac.in/. The iGRAM landing page states that only registered IGNOU students may submit a grievance. A fresh applicant without confirmed enrollment should therefore use CSRC first. Open only the official root address; do not rely on unrelated search-result pages.

Recheck the portal and take a current screenshot of the locked field or failed recovery step.
Send one complete request to the correct office with all essential record details.
Wait for the acknowledgement or advised processing period and keep the reference number.
Follow up in the same email thread or with the same ticket rather than opening daily duplicates.
If eligible and still unresolved, raise iGRAM with a short timeline and attach the earlier reference.

Sample Mobile Number or Email Change Request

Subject: Request to update registered mobile number/email - Enrollment or Control No. [number]

Dear Sir/Madam, I am enrolled/applied for [programme] in the [session]. My enrollment or control number is [number], and my Regional Centre is [name/code]. The mobile number/email currently recorded is [old detail]. I request that it be updated to [new active detail] because [brief reason]. I am unable to complete the change through the portal because [field is locked / old contact is inaccessible / OTP is not received]. I have attached my admission confirmation or student ID, a screenshot of the issue and identity proof as required. Kindly confirm the procedure or provide a request reference. Thank you.

Personalise the message and send it only to the office relevant to your stage. A complaint should be factual and concise. Avoid emotional subject lines, multiple recipients and unrelated attachments.

How to Check Whether the Change Is Complete

A sent email does not prove that the database has been updated. After the office confirms action, sign out, log in again and check the profile. If the request concerned recovery, test the official reset flow without repeatedly requesting OTPs.

Verification check	Expected result
Portal profile	The new mobile number or email appears in the relevant contact field.
OTP or recovery test	The authorised message reaches the new contact, if that service uses it.
Official communication	Future notices arrive at the updated inbox or number.
Support record	The ticket, email or grievance shows closure or a clear final response.

If one screen shows the new detail but another service still shows the old one, reply in the existing support thread with both screenshots. IGNOU services can draw data from different records, so describe exactly where the mismatch remains instead of submitting a vague second complaint.

Mobile or Email Change Is Not the Same as Other Corrections

A contact update is different from a name, date-of-birth, address, Regional Centre or Study Centre correction. These services may require different proof and approval. If several details are wrong, list them separately and follow the procedure for each category.

Common Mistakes and Security Risks

Searching for a “Samarth mobile change link” and entering credentials on a non-IGNOU website.
Sharing an OTP, password, full identity number or banking information with an agent.
Creating a duplicate portal account when the original contact detail is unavailable.
Sending a request without the enrollment/control number, programme and exact old/new details.
Assuming the change is complete without checking the portal and future communication.
Submitting many complaints through different channels without keeping one reference trail.
Using a temporary office, shop or relative’s email that the student will not control later.

IGNOU Information recommends keeping a personal, long-term email address specifically for education records. Protect it with a strong password and recovery method. Save important IGNOU confirmations in a labelled folder so they remain available even if you replace your phone.

Final Advice from IGNOU Information

The safest way to update an IGNOU mobile number or email in 2026 is to match the request to your current student stage. Correct an editable form before submission, use CSRC when a submitted admission application is locked, and use the Student Portal followed by the Regional Centre or Student Service Centre for a confirmed enrollment. Keep proof, protect your OTP and verify the final record instead of assuming that a sent request completed the change.
