Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) extends the deadline for July 2026 admissions for overseas students until September 30. Candidates are required to complete registration and application steps by this date, and to check programme-specific requirements and submission details before applying.

According to reports, the admission process includes registration, form submission, uploading required documents, and paying fees online. The application is made through IGNOU’s Samarth admission portal. Both outlets direct applicants to review the documents needed and the specific eligibility criteria tied to their chosen programme. The key point of convergence is the September 30 cutoff for overseas student registration for the July 2026 session, along with the use of the Samarth portal for completing the online process.

Sources emphasize practical steps—what candidates must do and where to apply—while the focus differs slightly in wording: one outlet frames the date as an overseas registration closure, while the other describes it as an extended admissions deadline. The overall application pathway and timeline remain consistent across both.
