IGNOU Study Centre Change: How to Confirm the New Centre After a Request
Quick answer
After requesting an IGNOU Study Centre change, do not rely only on the request acknowledgement. Check the current Study Centre shown in your official student/admission record. IGNOU also has a Study Centre Status service that can show the allotted centre for an enrolment number. Once the new centre is reflected, use that centre for future local academic contact unless IGNOU gives different instructions for a specific activity.
A request is not the same as a completed change
- You submitted a change request.
Keep the request acknowledgement or reference. - Check your current IGNOU student record.
Use the official admission/registration details to see the Study Centre currently attached to your enrolment. - Check the Study Centre Status service if available for your record.
The official portal displays the Study Centre allotted to the enrolment number. - Use the new centre only after the record reflects it.
If the old centre still appears, follow up rather than assuming the transfer is complete.
What to re-check after the centre changes
| Area | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Assignments | Where the current course assignments should be submitted. |
| Practical/counselling | Which centre is responsible for local sessions for your programme. |
| Local notices | Which Regional Centre or Study Centre page you should follow. |
| Contact route | Which centre should answer centre-level records and attendance questions. |
Not every programme activity is handled in exactly the same way, so check programme-specific instructions for practicals, projects or special sessions.
How to check the current centre
IGNOU’s Know Your Admission/Registration Details service shows registration details linked to your enrolment. The Study Centre Status Portal is another official route that can display the allotted Study Centre.
Use the details actually shown in your student record. A WhatsApp message, old ID card or old assignment cover sheet is not a reliable way to confirm that the change has been effected.
If the old Study Centre still appears
- Keep the change-request acknowledgement.
- Take a dated screenshot of the current student record.
- Confirm that you are using the correct enrolment number and programme.
- Contact the Regional Centre or Student Registration route responsible for the change.
- If the documented request remains unresolved, use iGRAM with the request proof and current record.
Duplicate requests can make the history harder to explain. Keep one clear record of what you requested and what the official student record shows now.
Check your programme for course-specific requirements, use IGNOU Guides for other student-service questions, and return to the Vidyanik Blog when you need another troubleshooting guide.
