IGNOU uses different official services for admission, re-registration, study material, results, grade cards, assignment status and grievances. This guide helps you open the correct service without confusing one portal with another.
You do not need to treat eGyanKosh or the Student Evaluation Division (SED) as one universal student login. Some services require an account, while others only ask for your enrolment number and programme details.

Which IGNOU Portal Should You Use?
Start with the task you want to complete. This avoids opening an admission account when you actually need a result, study material or registration-status service.
| Your task | Correct official service | What you may need |
|---|---|---|
| Apply for fresh admission | IGNOU Admission (Samarth) | Registered email/mobile, documents and application details |
| Continue into the next semester or year | IGNOU Re-registration | Enrolment number, password and programme details |
| Find digital study blocks | eGyanKosh | Programme or course code; basic browsing normally needs no login |
| Check TEE or re-evaluation result | IGNOU Results service | Enrolment number and relevant examination session |
| Check course-wise academic record | IGNOU Grade Card | Programme/category and enrolment number |
| Check transmitted assignment marks | Assignment Status | Enrolment number and programme code |
| Raise an unresolved student grievance | iGRAM | Student details and supporting documents |
1. IGNOU Samarth: Admission and Student Registration Services
“Samarth portal” can refer to more than one IGNOU workflow. The account created for a fresh admission application should not automatically be assumed to work on every later student service.
For a new admission application
- Open the official fresh-admission portal.
- Select New Registration if you have not created an admission account.
- Register with an active email address and mobile number.
- Choose your programme, Regional Centre and Study Centre carefully.
- Submit the application and save the acknowledgement for your records.
For an existing student
Use the service that matches your task. Re-registration, admission status and other student-record services can have separate pages and login requirements. Keep your enrolment number, programme code and registered contact details available.
Open Fresh Admission Open Re-registration2. eGyanKosh: IGNOU Digital Study Material
eGyanKosh is IGNOU’s digital repository. Students can search for programme material, course blocks and other learning resources. Basic browsing and downloading of openly available material generally does not require a student login.
How to find your material
- Open eGyanKosh and use its search option.
- Search with the exact course code, such as BEGC-101, instead of only a broad subject name.
- Check the programme, course title and block number before opening a file.
- Open the relevant item and use the available PDF/view option.
3. SED Services: Result, Grade Card and Assignment Status
The Student Evaluation Division handles evaluation-related work, but students do not use one single “SED login” for every task. IGNOU provides separate services for the Term-End Examination result, grade card and assignment-status information.
TEE Result
Use the result service to check published Term-End Examination or re-evaluation results for the relevant session.
Grade Card
The grade card is a course-wise academic record that can show assignment, theory, practical or project-related entries where applicable. A result and a grade card therefore serve related but different purposes.
Assignment Status
The assignment-status service shows marks or grades after they have been evaluated and transmitted. A missing entry does not by itself prove that an assignment was not submitted.
Open Official Result Services Check Assignment Status4. Admission, Registration and Printed Material Status
If your admission or re-registration details are not clear, use the official status service instead of repeatedly creating new accounts. The status page may require your enrolment number and programme code.
Students who selected printed study material can also use IGNOU’s official study-material status service. This is different from eGyanKosh, which provides digital resources.
Check Registration Status Open Official Status ServicesCommon IGNOU Portal Problems
Enrolment number is not recognised
Confirm that admission is approved, then recheck every digit and the selected programme. Use the official admission/registration-status page before raising a grievance.
Assignment marks are missing
Assignment entries appear after evaluation and transmission. Keep your submission acknowledgement and contact the relevant centre if the entry remains unresolved.
Result is visible but grade card is incomplete
Different academic components can update separately. Compare the course code and each required component before taking action.
An official portal is slow or unavailable
Do not enter details on a lookalike website. Retry the official link later, use another browser or network, and keep screenshots if you need to report a continuing issue.
No universal waiting period: Updates do not follow one guaranteed 10-day, 15-day, 40-day or 60-day rule. Processing time can differ by service, session, course and centre.
Assignment Submission: Online or Offline?
There is no single submission mode that can safely be stated for every student. Instructions may differ by programme, session, Regional Centre and Study Centre. Follow the current notice issued for your own centre and keep proof of submission.
If you need a clean first page for your response file, use the IGNOU Assignment Cover Page Generator. It creates the page in your browser and does not replace your centre’s instructions.
When to Use the iGRAM Grievance Portal
Use iGRAM when an academic or student-service issue remains unresolved through the relevant office or centre. Explain the issue clearly and attach supporting records such as receipts, acknowledgements or screenshots where applicable.
Do not share passwords or OTPs in a grievance. Save the grievance reference number after submission.
Open Official iGRAMFrequently Asked Questions
Are Samarth, eGyanKosh and SED the same portal?
No. Samarth-based systems support admission or registration workflows, eGyanKosh is a digital learning repository, and SED manages evaluation-related work through separate result, grade-card and status services.
Do I need a login to download material from eGyanKosh?
Basic browsing and access to openly available study material generally do not require a student login. Search using the exact programme or course code for better results.
Can I use my admission password on every IGNOU portal?
No. IGNOU services can use different account systems and identifiers. Follow the instructions shown on the specific official service you need.
Why is my assignment status not visible?
The status may not appear until evaluation and transmission are completed. Recheck your enrolment number and programme, keep proof of submission, and contact the relevant centre if the issue remains unresolved.
Can every IGNOU student submit assignments online?
No universal rule applies to every programme and centre. Follow the current instructions issued by your own Regional Centre, Study Centre or programme.
