For learners registered under RC Code 28, IGNOU Kolkata Regional Centre is the regional office for Kolkata and the south and central West Bengal districts assigned to RC Kolkata. It is worth checking the correct contact channel before sending documents or making a visit, because Study Centre responsibilities and local arrangements can vary by programme and session.
About IGNOU Kolkata Regional Centre
IGNOU Kolkata operates as RC Code 28 for Kolkata and the south and central West Bengal districts assigned to RC Kolkata. The RC coordinates the regional learner-support network, but individual Study Centres do not necessarily offer every programme. This is why a centre name from an old list should not be treated as proof that it currently supports your programme.
When should you contact RC Kolkata?
Students under Kolkata should use the RC for matters where the local learner-support network makes a difference.
- ask for the correct local contact when a programme-specific service is not available at the expected Study Centre;
- confirm a regional instruction before making a visit, sending documents or acting on an outdated web result;
- understand which learner-support office should handle a centre-level query connected with the Kolkata region;
- clarify a local notice when the programme, Study Centre or session details do not match your own record;
- confirm the Study Centre/Learner Support Centre currently attached to a learner in the Kolkata region;

Before you call, email or visit
For a phone call or email to Kolkata, keep your learner details in front of you: enrolment number, programme code, session and Study Centre code.
