IGNOU Assignment Submission by Post and Courier 2026: Complete Guide

Working professionals, out-of-state migrants, and students allotted to defunct study centres often cannot submit assignments in person. IGNOU has official postal submission routes that many study centres verbally discourage but are legally valid.

Official Postal Submission Route

1. Mail your handwritten assignment via India Post (Registered or Speed Post) to your Study Centre Coordinator.
2. Enclose an Assignment Remittance-Cum-Acknowledgement Form.
3. Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the stamped receipt slip.
4. Retain the original India Post tracking slip as primary evidence of timely submission.
5. The study centre stamps the receipt slip and mails it back in your envelope.

Maidan Garhi Direct Bypass for Closed Centres

If your study centre has shut down or refuses project files, mail the project report directly to: Room No. 19, Block 3, Project Cell, Student Evaluation Division (SED), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068. Write the course code (e.g., "DECE-4 PROJECT") in bold capitals on the envelope. Retain the postal receipt as legal proof.

For specialized synopses like MDVP-117 or MEDSP-051, bypass the Regional Centre and send directly to the concerned School (e.g., SOEDS, Block 15-F, Maidan Garhi).
