IGNOU Regional Centre List: Find Your Code, Address and Contact Details
8 min read listen • Voice narration
To find your IGNOU Regional Centre, start with your admission or registration record. Look for the centre name and code, then match them to the university’s official directory. If your record says Delhi 2, for example, open the Delhi 2 page to check the office address and phone number before you plan a visit. Delhi 1 and Delhi 3 have their own entries.
This guide explains how to use the IGNOU Regional Centre list, which office to contact for common student queries and what to check if you need to transfer after moving. If you are applying for the first time, you can also use the directory to find the regional office and see which study centres support your programme. Open IGNOU’s official Regional Centre directory.
What does an IGNOU Regional Centre do?
An IGNOU Regional Centre is a university office that supports learners in the area it serves. It oversees Learner Support Centres within that area and coordinates academic and administrative support. Learner Support Centres are also called study centres. As a student, you may deal with them directly for counselling, practical arrangements or assignment instructions, depending on your programme and the notices for your session.
Your regional office may publish information about induction meetings, local schedules and student services. It can also direct you to the right team if your registration record or study centre details need attention. If you already know your centre name, open its official website and look for the latest notice about your specific issue before sending a message. Read about IGNOU’s Regional Services Division.
| Office or centre | When to use it | What to look up |
|---|---|---|
| Regional Centre | You need help with a regional notice, an address correction or a transfer request. | Regional Centre name, code and official contact details. |
| Learner Support Centre or study centre | You need a counselling schedule, local practical instructions or confirmation that the centre received an assignment. | Study centre name and code, programme and course. |
| Exam centre | You need to find the venue for your Term-End Examination. | Exam centre code and address printed on the hall ticket for that session. |
How to find your IGNOU Regional Centre code and address
Check the centre shown in your student record
Open your admission confirmation or sign in to your IGNOU student account. Find the name and code under Regional Centre. If your record also shows a study centre code, write it down separately so you can use the correct one in a form or support query. IGNOU’s Know Your Status page also links to its registration status service. Go to IGNOU’s Know Your Status page.
Look up the exact centre in the official directory
Open the Regional Centres directory and choose the link for the name shown in your records. On the centre’s site, check its contact page and any recent office notices for the address, email and enquiry hours. You can cross-check its name in IGNOU’s head office contact directory, which lists regional enquiry numbers. This is especially helpful if a phone number comes from an old circular or a forwarded message. Find the official IGNOU Regional Centre contact number.
| Regional Centre | RC code | Official website |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi 1 | 07 | IGNOU Delhi 1 |
| Delhi 2 | 29 | IGNOU Delhi 2 |
| Delhi 3 | 38 | IGNOU Delhi 3 |
Preserve the leading zero when recording a code such as 07. The Delhi entries are examples of how the code helps identify the correct office when centre names are similar. Use the university directory to find centres elsewhere in India. Before travelling, confirm which address the specific office uses and whether it can handle your request in person. See the Regional Centre codes in IGNOU’s common prospectus.
How to choose a Regional Centre when applying
Start with the programme and mode you plan to apply for. Look at the regional choices shown in the admission form, then check the centres available for your programme. A centre that supports one IGNOU course may offer a different set of services for another. If your programme includes practical classes, check where those sessions take place and whether you can get there when they are scheduled.
For example, if you live near a boundary between regions, compare the options shown for your application and check what each office says about the areas it serves. If you are unsure, give the centre your district, programme code, mode and intended admission session when you ask. After admission, save your confirmation so you can find the assigned centre details again when a form asks for them. Find IGNOU Learner Support Centre information.
How to request an IGNOU Regional Centre change
If you move to another city, first check which regional and study centre options the new location offers for your programme. An address correction updates your contact details. A regional transfer involves moving your student record to another regional office. If you need both, tell your current centre so it can explain how to submit the requests.
Check your IGNOU Samarth student account for the relevant request option and inform your current Regional Centre. The common prospectus also describes writing to the current office and copying the office you want to transfer to. Ask which documents are needed in your case. IGNOU’s guidance mentions proof of assignments already submitted and, for some practical-oriented programmes, a no-objection certificate from the destination centre. Open the IGNOU Samarth student portal and see IGNOU’s regional transfer guidance.
Save the request reference or email acknowledgement. If an assignment or practical is due while the request is pending, ask your current centre where to complete it. When the transfer is confirmed, check the centre name and code in your student record so you know which office to contact for your next activity.
What to include when contacting your Regional Centre
Give the centre enough information to look up your record. If you are enrolled, include your enrolment number, programme code and the session involved. For a question about one assignment, include the course code and the date you submitted it. If you are still applying, use the application reference you received. Say what you already checked and what you need the centre to confirm.
If you are following up, include the date and reference from your earlier message. Registered students can also use iGRAM to submit and track an unresolved grievance. For central department contacts, use the eCampus helpline guide. Open the official IGNOU iGRAM portal or see the IGNOU helpline guide.
Check the latest notice before visiting a centre
Start with the regional website for your assigned centre and look for an announcement about the service you need. A notice about an induction meeting may name a different venue from the office address. Read the date, programme and session on the notice so you can tell whether it applies to you. If a practical session is mentioned, check the course code and reporting time as well as the venue.
For example, if you are collecting a document, ask whether it is ready, which office holds it and what identification you should bring. If you need to sort out an assignment record, ask whether a receipt or screenshot can be sent for review. A short call or email with your enrolment number and the reason for your visit can help you find the correct desk.
When two IGNOU pages give different details, check the date of each notice and ask the centre which one applies to your activity. Save the reply with your appointment details, so you have the correct address and a contact for the day.
