The last date to fill out the online examination form for the December 2026 TEE without paying a late fee was October 7, 2026. This deadline applied to eligible students registered across both Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and Online Programmes. Submissions were processed online through the official examination portal by selecting applicable course codes and paying fees. If eligible courses did not appear in the drop-down menu, students had to email registrarsrd@ignou.ac.in or call 011-29571301.

The late fee for submitting the IGNOU December 2026 Term-End Examination form was Rs. 1100. This surcharge applied to all online exam form submissions made between October 8, 2026, and October 15, 2026, for ODL and Online programmes. Students paid this late fee along with course examination fees using debit card, credit card, or net banking on the TEE portal. If payment status failed, candidates had to re-submit before the October 15 deadline.

The extension applied to all eligible students registered under both Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and Online Programmes for the December 2026 TEE. It covered undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, postgraduate diploma, certificate, and semester-based programmes with valid course registration. Candidates submitted their form on the online exam portal after completing assignment submissions. If registration showed as invalid, students had to contact Registrar SRD at registrarsrd@ignou.ac.in or call 011-29571301 for prompt resolution.

The December 2026 TEE exam form extension notification was issued by the Deputy Registrar (Exam-II) of IGNOU’s Student Evaluation Division (SED). Issued under official reference number IG/SED/Exam-II/ December-26/TEE/2026/ dated September 30, 2026, the order was approved by the Competent Authority. The notification extended online form submission deadlines up to October 15, 2026. For grievances or queries regarding exam notifications, learners can submit queries on the iGRAM portal or email ssc@ignou.ac.in.

For students admitted from the January 2023 admission cycle onwards, the IGNOU theory examination fee is Rs. 200 per course. Practical and project fees for courses up to 4 credits are Rs. 300 per course, while courses above 4 credits cost Rs. 500 per course. Students admitted till the December 2022 cycle pay a flat fee of Rs. 200 per theory or practical course. All fees are paid online through debit card, credit card, or net banking.

Students can check their IGNOU exam form payment status on the Acknowledgement Slip portal by entering their Enrolment Number and Date of Birth. Search functionality becomes active 72 hours after submission, excluding the submission day, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. If no status appears after this period, the applicant must re-submit the examination form with the required fee before the closing date. Unsuccessful or excess portal payments are refunded after verification.

Yes, creating an Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) ID is mandatory for all students filling the IGNOU Term-End Examination form. The Government of India mandates ABC ID creation to ensure examination grades and marks reflect properly on DigiLocker and the ABC system. Failing to provide an ABC ID during form submission can affect or delay the timely declaration of term-end results. Students enter their ABC ID directly on the TEE examination portal.

If an eligible course code does not reflect in the drop-down box or registration shows as invalid, the student must contact Registrar SRD immediately. Learners can reach out by sending an email to registrarsrd@ignou.ac.in or by calling 011-29571301. This issue occurs when course registration records require updating in the official database. Contacting the Student Registration Division ensures the course is added so the student can complete online form submission.

To submit the IGNOU TEE exam form, a student must hold valid, non-time-barred registration and completed the minimum programme duration. Furthermore, required assignments for the selected courses must be submitted by the due date as per programme rules. Students awaiting previous semester TEE results can also add courses later after results are declared. All prerequisites are verified electronically when filling the exam form on the university portal.

Yes, IGNOU permits students to attempt Term-End Examination question papers in Hindi medium even if registered in English medium. However, this flexibility does not extend to language-specific programmes. Answer scripts attempted in any unapproved language other than the programme language or Hindi will not be evaluated and will be cancelled without prior notice. Students must follow these language guidelines carefully during examinations.

Unsuccessful or excess examination fees paid through the portal payment gateway are refunded to the student’s original payment account following bank verification. However, if a student initiates a direct chargeback through their bank, they must approach the bank after Hall Ticket issuance. If a student illegally appears in the term-end examination after retrieving fees via bank chargeback, IGNOU SED will withhold or cancel their exam results completely.

Yes, students whose previous term-end examination results are pending should fill out the IGNOU TEE exam form without waiting for complete results. Learners who appeared in previous TEE cycles can add failed courses later on the portal after results are declared. This rule prevents students from missing prescribed portal deadlines while evaluation results are uploaded in a phased manner on www.ignou.ac.in. If eligible course codes fail to appear, students must email registrarsrd@ignou.ac.in or call 011-29571301.

IGNOU will not entertain any requests to change exam dates if clashing courses belong to the same group, backlog subjects, or different programmes. Students are strictly not allowed to attempt two examinations in the same session even if both appear on the issued Hall Ticket. This rule applies across BDP, CBCS, FYUP, and master degree programmes during term-end examinations. If a clash occurs due to backlog courses from different years, learners must prioritize and choose one paper for that examination session.

The practical examination schedule and venue for CIT, BCA, MCA, MSC (MACS), PGDAST, PGCGI, MSCIS, PGDIS, DBPOFA, DMOP, ACISE, and BLIS programmes are provided directly by the concerned IGNOU Regional Centre. Registered learners must contact their assigned Regional Centre to verify specific lab dates and exam centers. Candidates are required to retain and present a printed copy of their Hall Ticket during practical exams or project report submissions. Learners missing from published schedules must obtain Regional Centre approval to appear in remaining exam batches.
