IGNOU Student Experience Survey 2026

Why This Survey Matters

IGNOU serves 3.5 million students, but there's no public, independent dataset documenting the real issues students face — assignment delays, missing marks, portal failures, and administrative bottlenecks. Our original research revealed that assignment mark delays are the #1 grievance, but we need structured data to make the case louder. Your 2-minute anonymous response helps build that dataset.
