✅ Complaint: Can I change my Study Centre or Regional Centre?
✅ Answer:
Yes, IGNOU allows students to change their Study Centre (SC) or Regional Centre (RC), but it must be done within certain conditions and deadlines.
📌 Rules for Changing Study / Regional Centre
- Before Admission / Re-Registration
- You can select or modify your preferred Study Centre / RC while filling the admission or re-registration form online.
- After Admission / Re-Registration
- Changes are allowed only with RC approval.
- Valid reasons include:
- Relocation due to job or residence change
- Health or family issues
- Approval is case-by-case and not automatic.
- Limitations
- Some courses have restricted Study Centres; changes may not be possible if the new SC doesn’t offer the programme.
- Changing RC may delay assignment submission, project evaluation, or exam hall ticket generation.
📌 Steps to Request Centre Change
- Write to Your Current Regional Centre
- Include: Name, Enrollment Number, Programme, Current SC/RC, Requested SC/RC, Reason for change.
- Attach Supporting Documents
- Address proof, job transfer letter, medical certificate, etc., if applicable.
- Wait for RC Approval
- Once approved, IGNOU will update portal, assignments, and hall tickets according to the new SC/RC.
📌 Important Notes
- Always request centre changes well before assignment submission or TEE.
- Keep written approval from RC as proof in case of discrepancies.
- Some requests may be denied if the new SC does not offer the chosen programme.
👉 Tip: Check the IGNOU RC list and confirm the programme is offered at your desired SC before requesting the change.
