IGNOU Exam Centre: Find Centre Code, List, Address & Details

An exam-centre search is most useful when it answers a simple question quickly: which centre code belongs to the venue or location you are looking for in the current TEE list? The finder below searches the active Exam Centre dataset by code, institution, city, district, state or Regional Centre.

Use the Exam Centre list for the correct TEE session

Exam Centre availability is tied to an examination cycle. A centre seen in an older June or December list should not be treated as guaranteed for a later TEE. Search the session shown above the finder, then compare the centre with the options available while filling the examination form.

This is also why an old saved screenshot or a centre code shared by another student can mislead you. The institution may still exist, but the centre may not be activated for your current session.

How to search an IGNOU Exam Centre code

If you already know the code, enter it directly. This is the fastest way to distinguish venues with similar names. If you are trying to find an IGNOU Exam Centre near you, search your city or district first and use the state filter to narrow the results.

The finder does not pretend to calculate road distance. A city or district search is more dependable because you can compare the actual addresses and then choose from the centres that the examination form makes available to you.

Choosing a centre while filling the exam form

Check the centre code, city and address carefully before submitting the form. Do not select only by a familiar college name. If more than one centre is available in the area, compare the complete details before making the choice.

For the examination schedule itself, use the IGNOU Date Sheet. Practical examinations can follow separate venue arrangements, so students with practical or lab courses should also check the IGNOU practical exam schedule guide.

Can the Exam Centre be changed later?

Do not fill the form on the assumption that you can correct the centre afterwards. Centre-change rules can be restrictive once the examination form has been submitted. Treat the selection as final unless the instructions for that TEE explicitly provide another route.

IGNOU can also change an examination arrangement because of capacity or administrative reasons. That is different from a student requesting a preferred centre after submission.

The Hall Ticket decides where you report

The search list helps you identify and compare centres, but the venue printed on your Hall Ticket is the one to follow on exam day. Before travelling, match the centre code and full address on the Hall Ticket rather than relying on an earlier list.

If the venue on the Hall Ticket is unfamiliar, search its code here and check the address carefully. For a broader contact problem, use the IGNOU helpline guide instead of contacting an unrelated Study Centre.

Exam Centre vs Study Centre

A Study Centre is part of your learner-support setup; an Exam Centre is an examination venue for a particular TEE. Even where one college performs both functions, do not assume that your Study Centre code is automatically your Exam Centre code. Use the IGNOU Study Centre finder when the query is about counselling, local learner support or Study Centre details.
