Recently, IGNOU has started an online portal that serves as a degree delivery portal. After the registration, students who have not received their original certificates yet can request the original certificate at this portal. This blog works as a guide to explain how the IGNOU Degree Delivery Portal portal works.
What is IGNOU Degree Delivery Portal?
IGNOU Degree delivery portal allows students to register for the receiving of their degree. Most students receive their degrees on time. However, sometimes, because of numerous reasons the degree does not get received on time by the student.

If that’s the case, students can visit the official website to get accurate details on the portal registration and receive their original certificates as soon as possible.
If you’ve registered online for the portal, you’ll be issued by the Regional Centre/Headquarters.
Who All Are Eligible?
In March & April of 2022, IGNOU arranged its 35th convocation. Most students were awarded their certificates or degrees for bachelor’s, master’s, Postgraduate diplomas, or Diplomas. These certificates were sent directly to the regional centres of the students.
The regional centers, then, awarded the students through a convocation event or sent them directly to the student’s addresses through the post.

However, some certificates were also sent to the headquarters of IGNOU in Delhi. These include certificate programs, or post-graduation certificate programs.
However, multiple students have not received their original certificates even when they have completed their degree or diploma within the given timeframe.
Have a look at this table taken straight from the IGNOU website:
| Convocation | Date | Term-end Examinations covered |
| 20th to 32nd | – | December 2007 to June 2018 |
| 33rd | 17.02.2020 | December 2018, June 2019 |
| 34th (virtual mode) | 15.04.2021 | December 2019, June 2020 |
| 35th | 26.04.2022 | December 2020, June 2021 |
Students between the 20th and 35th convocation can request their degree at the online portal if they’ve not received their degree yet.
