Functions of Regional Centres

1. Administration and Coordination

One of the primary functions of Regional Centres is the administration of student admissions, registrations, and re-registrations. They act as a bridge between the university headquarters in New Delhi and the learners spread across the regions. The centres coordinate the distribution of study materials, manage student records, and handle examination logistics, including the setting up of examination centres and the appointment of invigilators.

2. Academic Support and Counselling

Regional Centres provide academic support to students through a network of Learner Support Centres. These include study centres, programme study centres, and work centres, which offer face-to-face counselling sessions, practicals, and hands-on training. The academic counsellors at these centres are subject-matter experts who guide students, clarify their doubts, and help them with assignments and projects.

3. Training and Development

The Regional Centres conduct training programs and workshops for academic counsellors, coordinators, and administrative staff to ensure they are well-equipped to support learners effectively. These training sessions focus on the latest developments in open and distance learning, use of technology in education, and best practices in student support services.

4. Student Support Services

Support services are a critical component of the Regional Centres’ operations. They provide information and guidance on various programs, handle grievances and queries, and offer career counselling services. These centres also facilitate the distribution of study materials and are often equipped with libraries and reading rooms to aid students in their studies.

4. What is the difference between a Regional Centre and a Study Centre in IGNOU?

A Regional Centre (RC) is responsible for the overall management and administration of IGNOU’s operations in a specific geographical region. In contrast, a Study Centre (SC) is a local unit within a region that provides academic support, such as counseling sessions, study materials, and facilities for practical work. Study Centres operate under the supervision of their respective Regional Centres.

5. How do I get my study materials from the Regional Centre?

Study materials can be collected from the Regional Centre or the designated Study Centre. In some cases, study materials are sent directly to students by post. You can track study material status here. You can also download digital versions of study materials from the IGNOU eGyankosh portal or the IGNOU mobile app.

6. What should I do if I do not receive my study materials?

However, in special circumstances or for specific courses, the Regional Centre may accept assignments. Always check with your Study Centre or Regional Centre for the correct submission process.

9. How do I know which Regional Centre I belong to?

Your designated Regional Centre is usually determined based on your place of residence at the time of admission. The details of your Regional Centre are provided in your IGNOU ID card or admission status page and can also be found in your student profile on the IGNOU Student Portal.

13. Can I visit any IGNOU Regional Centre for assistance, or do I have to visit my designated centre?

For most services, you are required to visit your designated Regional Centre. However, for general inquiries, you may visit any Regional Centre. It is always best to contact your designated Regional Centre for specific issues, as they will have access to your records and details.

14. How do Regional Centres support students during examinations?

Regional Centres coordinate the examination process by setting up examination centres, distributing hall tickets, assigning invigilators, and ensuring that exams are conducted smoothly. They also handle the re-evaluation process and address any examination-related grievances.
