Question 1

How do I find my IGNOU regional centre?

Accepted Answer

Your regional centre is assigned based on your correspondence address at the time of admission and is printed on your ID card and study material. Use the regional centre list on this page to find its address and contact details.

Question 2

What is a regional centre code and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

The regional centre code is a unique identifier used on your enrolment records, assignment submissions and exam forms — it tells IGNOU which office is responsible for your student support and grievance handling.

Question 3

Can I change my allotted regional centre?

Accepted Answer

Yes, IGNOU allows a regional centre transfer request, typically if you've relocated. You'll need to submit a formal application with supporting address proof, and processing can take a few weeks.

Question 4

Do regional centres conduct term-end exams?

Accepted Answer

Regional centres coordinate exam logistics for their jurisdiction, but term-end exams are usually held at designated study centres within that region, not always at the regional centre office itself.

Question 5

How do I contact my regional centre for support?

Accepted Answer

Each regional centre listing on this page includes an address and contact details for queries on assignments, exam forms, study material and re-registration issues specific to your region.
