IGNOU unique ID number

The ID refers to a unique identification number created by a student who wishes to enroll in any online or Open and Distance Learning (ODL) program offered by IGNOU. This ID was developed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to help students easily identify and enroll in recognized and accredited institutions.

Once a student creates this ID, it remains valid for all future use, meaning the student can use it for any future admissions or educational activities. This system ensures that students are enrolling in institutions that meet the necessary standards set by the UGC.
