The official notification released by IGNOU read, “The certificates of eligible students of master’s degree, bachelor’s degree, postgraduate diploma and diploma programmes have been forwarded to their regional centre/regional centre opted by the students for issuing to them. The certificates of postgraduate certificate and certificate programme are available with the headquarters. However, the students who have not received the degree/diploma/certificate may inform the regional centre/headquarters where their certificate was sent/available and apply online to receive the same, if not received, so far. Those who become eligible for award of Degree/Diploma/ Certificate in the 33rd and 34th Convocation but have not received the Certificate/not registered, so far may apply/register for this purpose now.”

To apply for IGNOU DMS, the student must log in on the website and fill up the requisite details and upload the necessary documents such as 1. IGNOU IDENTITY CARD and 2.
