If you missed applying to IGNOU due to any reasons, you can still apply as the registration deadline for the July 2023 session has been extended until September 30th for all courses except certificate programs.  Applications for certificate courses are no longer accepted. So, if you want to enroll in any undergraduate, postgraduate, or diploma course, you still have time until September 30th to register.
