I have lost my IGNOU student ID card. Is there a way to acquire another copy?
You should not be concerned if you misplaced your ID card. You are not even required to visit the Regional Center for this. The following are the steps you must take:
-
Install the IGNOU Student App app.
-
Log in using your enrollment number, program, and date of birth.
-
When you click on ID Card, you will see a popup that says, “Use your enrollment number as password” to open the ID Card. To download it, click OK.
-
The document will be downloaded to your phone; simply print it from a cyber cafe near your home.
-
You do not need to put a stamp or a signature on it. There is already a signature and a stamp on it. It is authentic and valid.
An IGNOU ID card is required to take TEE and practical exams. If you lose your ID card, you must follow these steps to receive a replacement.
How do students get study material from IGNOU?
After completing your registration, you must provide your email address and phone number. You will receive a confirmation email regarding your application, indicating that it has been acknowledged.
After a month or two, you will receive a text message or email with instructions on how to retrieve your study materials. It is important to remember that the Study Center and the location where you collect your study materials (Regional Center) are not the same.
You can also send an email requesting that it be sent to your address, which you will receive approximately 2 months later. However, you must visit the Regional Center at least once to obtain your enrollment card and have it stamped.
Keep in touch with the institution via email until you receive what you require. I would not recommend making phone calls because it is always busy and difficult to get through.
Why is a degree from the IGNOU discriminated?
Many people believe that MCA is too difficult and not worth the effort. You don't have to listen to someone else's hopelessness or anything negative people say if you haven't experienced it. Simply be on time and schedule everything accordingly, and everything will fall into place. You simply must be committed and serious about what you are doing.
Not only at IGNOU, but in any university, not every student is treated equally. Every student is unique, with their own study habits and learning abilities. Never give up and keep trying until you succeed. Instead of listening to rumors, do what you believe is best for you and your future.
