3. I missed the exam form deadline – what can I do? 

✅ Complaint: I missed the exam form deadline – what can I do?

✅ Answer:

IGNOU provides students with multiple chances to submit the TEE (Term-End Examination) form, even after the main deadline. However, late submission usually comes with a late fee.

📌 Options If You Missed the Deadline

1. Check Official Exam Form Portal
   👉 IGNOU Exam Form
   • IGNOU often extends deadlines 2–3 times with late fee.
   • Example:
     • Normal Fee: ₹200 per course.
     • With Late Fee (₹1,100 or as notified).

2. Wait for Official Extension Notice
   • Visit IGNOU Notifications regularly.
   • Many times, IGNOU extends the form filling date after student requests.
3. If Form Still Closed
   • You cannot appear in the current TEE.
   • You will have to appear in the next TEE session (June/December).
   • Your assignments submitted remain valid for the next exam session (unless program-specific rules differ).

📌 Steps to Follow

1. Immediately check if portal is still accepting forms with late fee.
2. If portal is fully closed, contact your Regional Centre → sometimes they guide students if special circulars are issued.
3. If missed completely, prepare for the next TEE cycle (no penalty except delay).

📌 Important Notes

• IGNOU is usually flexible, but once the portal closes completely, nothing can be done.
• Always keep track of academic calendar (exam form, assignment dates, re-registration).
• Submitting assignments on time ensures you don’t lose that session.

👉 Quick Tip: Use IGNOU Student App / Calendar reminders to never miss deadlines again.
