IGNOU Releases December 2026 Term-End Examination Admit Cards

Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has officially released the admit cards for the December 2026 Term-End Examination (TEE). Students enrolled in both Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and online programmes can now access their hall tickets through the university's dedicated Samarth student portal at ignou.samarth.edu.in.

The release of these documents follows the university's recent updates regarding the examination schedule. With the exams set to begin on November 25, 2026, the university has advised all eligible candidates who have successfully submitted their examination forms to download and print their hall tickets well in advance to avoid any last-minute technical issues.

How to Access Your IGNOU Hall Ticket

To retrieve the admit card, candidates must log in to the official IGNOU Samarth portal using their registered credentials, specifically their username and password. Once logged into the student account, users should navigate to the examination or admit card section to locate the link for the December 2026 TEE hall ticket. The document will be available for download directly from the portal, as the university does not issue physical copies by mail.

Upon downloading the document, it is essential for students to verify the accuracy of the information provided. The hall ticket includes critical details such as the candidate's name, enrolment number, programme code, the specific address of the examination centre, and the schedule for each course code. Students are reminded that they must carry a printed copy of this admit card along with a valid IGNOU identity card to the examination centre to be permitted to sit for the tests.

Important Examination Details and Discrepancies

The upcoming Term-End Examination is scheduled to commence on November 25, 2026. In preparation for this, the university previously published a revised tentative date sheet on November 2, 2026, covering both ODL and online formats. Students should cross-reference the dates and session timings—whether morning or evening—listed on their individual admit cards with the official date sheet to ensure they arrive at the correct time.

Should a student discover any discrepancies or errors in the information printed on their admit card, they are urged to contact their respective IGNOU Regional Centre immediately for clarification and correction. Ensuring that all details are accurate before the examination date is vital for a smooth entry into the testing venue.
