To complete the registration, applicants must provide details, including their username, full name, email address, password, and mobile number.
Additionally, candidates are required to upload scanned documents such as a passport-size photograph (maximum 100 KB in JPG format), a signature image (maximum 100 KB in JPG format), and other relevant documents (each up to 200 KB in JPG or PDF format) as per the specified guidelines.
IGNOU’s delayed study materials, poor communication leave students in dire straits
Step 1: Visit the official website: ignou.samarth.edu.in/index.php/site/login.

Step 3: The dashboard of the candidate will open. It will have an option for registration.
Step 4: Select the link and select courses, and complete the payment.
Step 5: Download the application for future reference.
In case the payment is made twice for the same application, one of the payments will be refunded to the account.
