Why is my IGNOU admission status ‘not confirmed’?

IGNOU officials verify all the documents and application forms of the candidates who apply for IGNOU admission every year. If a student fails to see the admission status, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  • The process could be taking some time: In this case, the student should keep rechecking their IGNOU admission status every few days.
  • Non-recognised academic certificates: In a lot of cases, students complete their past academics from institutions that are not recognized by the board of education, and the students are provided unauthorized certificates by the schools. In such cases, IGNOU rejects such application forms.
  • Documentation Issue: At times, the size of the documents is not appropriate or the documents are not scanned properly. This becomes one of the reasons why an application is rejected.
  • Eligibility Issues: The university in its official brochure, released for each academic year, clearly states the eligibility required to pursue every course. In case the academic background of the student does not match the eligibility set by the university, the form status stands rejected.
