The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has raised the last date for registration to its online and distance learning (ODL) programmes. The candidates can now submit their applications till March 31, with the exception of certificate and semester courses. Earlier, the deadline was March 15.
To
register, the candidates need to possess a DEB ID -- a lifelong identification number generated by students applying for admission into ODL or online courses. The University Grants Commission (UGC) brought in this ID to prevent students from registering with unrecognised institutions. The DEB ID, once generated, is valid for life.
