IGNOU Convocation 2026: Degree, Registration, Fees, Delivery & Missing Degree

Updated September 2026: IGNOU convocation and degree procedures are time-sensitive. Students should use the current official convocation/degree-management notice for eligibility, registration, fee and delivery arrangements rather than relying on an older convocation year.

Before registering

  1. Confirm that all programme requirements are complete.
  2. Check the Grade Card/result for pending components.
  3. Verify the current convocation eligibility notice.
  4. Use the official degree/convocation portal.
  5. Pay only through the official workflow and save acknowledgement.

Degree, provisional certificate and marksheet

These are different academic records. Preserve each document issued to you. An online Grade Card screenshot is useful for tracking but is not a substitute for the formal degree.

If the degree is missing

  • Confirm programme completion and convocation eligibility.
  • Check the address/details used in the applicable process.
  • Keep convocation registration/payment evidence.
  • Use the current official degree/Student Evaluation Division channel for unresolved delivery issues.

Common mistakes

  • Using an old convocation fee.
  • Assuming every completed learner follows the same delivery method.
  • Paying a third party to obtain a degree.
  • Discarding the registration/payment acknowledgement.
