Yes, in IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University), the exam center can be different from the study center.
1. Study Center: The study center is where you attend your academic counseling sessions, submit assignments, and interact with instructors/ Academic counsellors. You are assigned a study center based on your geographical location or preference during admission.
2. Exam Center: The exam center is where you appear for your term-end examinations. IGNOU has various exam centers across different cities and states.

– Hall Ticket: Once you’ve selected your exam center, you’ll receive your hall ticket with details of the exam center, exam dates, and other relevant information. It’s essential to plan ahead and choose an exam center that suits you best in terms of convenience and accessibility. Remember to check the availability of the exam center and make sure to follow all the instructions provided by IGNOU regarding the examination process.
