In a welcome move for students, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has announced an extension of the deadline for fresh admissions for the July 2024 academic session. Candidates now have until October 15, 2024, to enroll in various Online Distance Learning (ODL) and online programs, offering them an additional opportunity to secure a place in one of India’s largest open universities.
