I know you must be thinking about fresh admission status. 

I had paid my registration fees and waited for the past 20 days.

Sometimes you receive discrepancies because of university guidelines; if you ignore, you may face a problem. 

Let’s check the reasons below.

Online result copy: An online copy of the result is not valid. You get an error on the admission dashboard when you upload a net copy result. You can get original documents from the DIGILOCKER if you don’t have them.

You can check here the list of recognized boards that accept IGNOU university.

Experience certificate: some courses are required additional documents which is experience certificate, without having this you cannot apply.

Note: Experience certificate is not required in all courses.

Passing subjects–I received a call last month from a new candidate. He informs me; they canceled my IGNOU admission status. What happens with my application form?

I checked his documents from the ISC board and informed him he had passed only four papers and a minimum of five passing subjects required to apply for a degree course.

Don’t upload the mark sheet if you passed only four subjects

If you have completed only four subjects and the previous board has issued your mark sheet, you can apply for the remaining subjects from the NIOS board.

Students who apply for a master’s course face difficulties in IGNOU admission status, they receive discrepancies in the online portal.

Do you know why it happens?

Last week, I received an email.

My admission status is showing pending. I removed the discrepancy, but every time showing a new error. Can you please help me?

I asked for his details and saw that the documents needed to be completed. The master’s degree course required some essential documents.

1. Graduation mark sheet

2. Original certificate / Degree certificate/ College leaving certificate

But he had uploaded only the mark sheet of graduation.

I advised him you needed to upload a college leaving certificate from the institution where you studied.
