How can I find my IGNOU study centre?

Check your admission confirmation, IGNOU student ID card or student login, which usually show the Regional Centre and Study Centre linked to your enrolment. If the details are missing or unclear, contact your Regional Centre with your enrolment number and programme code.

What is the difference between an IGNOU regional centre and study centre?

A Regional Centre is the administrative office for a geographical area and supervises learner support there. A Study Centre, also called a Learner Support Centre, is a local location where learners may attend counselling or receive academic support, depending on the programme and current arrangements.

Can I visit any IGNOU study centre?

Not for every purpose. Services such as counselling, practicals and assignment handling are usually linked to the centre recorded for your programme. Ask your own Regional Centre before going to a different centre, and confirm that the centre offers the service you need.

Is IGNOU study centre the same as exam centre?

No. The exam centre is the venue allotted for the term-end examination and is confirmed on your hall ticket. The same institution may sometimes act as both, but you should never assume it.

How do I verify an IGNOU centre address?

Open the official Regional Centre website or the Regional Centres page on ignou.ac.in, then call or email the centre before travelling. Avoid addresses copied from old posts or forwarded messages.

How can I check the centre allotted to me?

Look at your admission confirmation, student ID card and student account first. Some Regional Centres also offer an online Study Centre status check by enrolment number. If the details are still unclear, write to your Regional Centre.

What should I do if my IGNOU study centre details are outdated?

Check the latest notice on your Regional Centre website, because centres can be shifted, merged or kept in abeyance. Then email or call the Regional Centre and keep a copy of the reply.

Does this IGNOU Study Centre Finder show my allotted centre?

No. The finder is a directory of publicly listed centre details. It does not access IGNOU records, so it cannot show the centre allotted to your enrolment number. Your allotment depends on IGNOU's admission and enrolment records.

How to resize a passport-size photo

Check the application portal’s required width, height, format and file-size limit.
Choose a clear JPEG, PNG or WebP photo from your device.
Select a preset or enter the exact custom pixel dimensions.
Use Fill and crop for an edge-to-edge image, then adjust zoom and position.
Select JPEG, PNG or WebP and set quality. Add a maximum KB target only when required.
Review the preview, download the file and open it once before uploading.

35 × 45 mm preset: 413 × 531 pixels is a rounded reference conversion at 300 pixels per inch. A digital file’s physical print size also depends on how it is placed or printed. Follow the receiving authority’s stated pixel and print requirements.

What this tool does—and does not do

The resizer draws your image on a browser canvas at the selected pixel dimensions. Fill mode scales the image until the frame is covered and crops the overflow. Fit mode keeps the whole image visible and adds white space where the aspect ratios differ.

For JPEG and WebP, quality controls compression. If you enter a maximum KB value, the tool tries lower quality levels without changing the selected dimensions. Very small targets may be impossible without reducing width and height. PNG compression does not use the same adjustable quality system, so the optional KB target is ignored for PNG.

This tool does not remove or replace a background, improve facial lighting, change clothing, verify head size, detect biometric compliance, or guarantee acceptance. Passport, visa, admission and examination portals can have different rules. The official instructions for the exact form remain final.

Photo checks before uploading

Use a recent, sharp image with the face clearly visible.
Confirm the permitted background, head position and expression.
Match the required pixel dimensions and file type exactly.
Check that compression has not made facial details blurry or blocky.
Open the downloaded file and confirm its orientation.
Keep the original photo separately; resizing cannot restore removed detail.

Frequently asked questions

Is 35 × 45 mm always the correct passport photo size?

No. Requirements vary by country, document and online portal. The preset is a convenient reference; verify the exact official instructions.

Can I resize to custom pixel dimensions?

Yes. Choose Custom pixels and enter a width and height from 50 to 2,000 pixels.

Can this tool make my image exactly 100 KB?

It can try to keep JPEG or WebP output under a selected maximum. The exact result depends on image detail and dimensions, so very small targets are not guaranteed.

Does it remove or change the background?

No. Fit mode can add white space around the photo, but the tool does not remove or replace the background behind a person.

Is my photo uploaded or stored?

No. The selected photo is processed inside your browser and is not uploaded to or stored by OpenStudyInfo.
