IGNOU Deputy and Assistant Registrar Recruitment 2026

IGNOU Deputy and Assistant Registrar Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is recruiting Deputy Registrars and Assistant Registrars on deputation for its headquarters, Regional Centres and Regional Evaluation Centres across India. The notice brings both administrative roles into the same recruitment exercise. Your parent organisation remains part of the application process, because the university needs applications forwarded through the proper channel.

Posts and Disciplines

• Deputy Registrar: The notice covers this role within the university's administrative network, including headquarters and regional offices. Its specified service backgrounds span administration, finance and accounts, audit, examinations and legal affairs.
• Assistant Registrar: This role is also available across headquarters and the regional network. The advertisement sets separate service routes for this post, so you should use the criteria for the role you choose.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Deputation tenure: The initial appointment lasts three years. Extensions may follow one year at a time under Government of India norms, with a maximum total tenure of five years.
• No absorption: The appointment does not provide a route to absorption into these posts. Keep this condition in mind when discussing release with your parent organisation.
• Departmental restriction: Officers in the feeder category who are directly in line for promotion cannot be considered for this deputation appointment.
• University discretion: IGNOU may change or cancel the recruitment conditions. Its decisions on the recruitment process are binding.
• Language of the notice: If different language versions lead to different interpretations, the English version takes precedence.
• Accurate details: Give complete and accurate service information. The notice prohibits altered information and the concealment of relevant facts.

Application Submission Notes

Apply through the Deputy Registrar or Assistant Registrar link identified on IGNOU's website, as the official notification directs. The online form and the printed application forwarded by your parent organisation are both part of this process.

The printed copy must go through your Cadre Controlling Authority or parent organisation. You may also send an advance copy to Recruitment Cell, Room No. 13, Block No. 7, Indira Gandhi National Open University, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068. The contact telephone is 011-29571713.

Do not change the printed form after completing it online. IGNOU says such corrections will lead to rejection. The university also takes no responsibility for postal delays or an inability to complete the online form because of connectivity or website load.
