If you have forgotten your IGNOU student portal login credentials, you can recover or reset them easily using the official portal.
📌 Steps to Recover Username / Password
- Visit IGNOU Student Portal
👉 IGNOU Student Portal Login - Click on “Forgot Password / Forgot Username”
- You will be redirected to a recovery page.
- Enter Required Details

📌 Important Notes
- Use the email/mobile number registered during admission; otherwise, RC help is required.
