IGNOU ITEP Merit List 2026 Released at ignou.ac.in; Check July Admission Status Here

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has officially released the merit list for the Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) for the July 2026 admission session. Candidates who appeared for the entrance examination can now check their selection status directly on the university’s official website at ignou.ac.in.

The newly published merit list includes candidates selected for three separate 4-year integrated teaching courses: B.A. B.Ed. (Arts), B.Sc. B.Ed. (Science), and B.Com. B.Ed. (Commerce). Each of these three streams has a strict intake capacity of 100 seats, bringing the total number of available seats across the university to 300.

How was the IGNOU ITEP Merit List 2026 Prepared?

The university prepared the July 2026 merit list using a structured two-step evaluation:

1. Entrance Exam Scores: Performance and marks scored by the candidates in the entrance test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).

2. Preference Forms: The program preferences submitted by the applicants via the mandatory Google Form.

Only candidates who matched the required category-wise cut-off marks and fulfilled all foundational eligibility criteria have secured a spot on this initial list.

Step-by-Step Process to Download the ITEP Merit List

Candidates can easily download the program-wise PDF lists from the university portal. Follow these simple steps:

1. Visit the Official Website: Open your web browser and head to the official IGNOU portal: ignou.ac.in.

2. Navigate to Announcements: Look for the “Announcements” or “Alerts” section on the homepage and click on the link titled “Merit List for admission in ITEP – July 2026.”

Important Next Steps: Seat Allocation & Admission Offer

Securing a place on the merit list is the first step. To lock in your seat, you must complete the document verification and formal enrollment process within the university’s timeline.

1. Check Your Email Frequently

IGNOU will not send physical letters. The Offer of Admission is being dispatched via email directly to the registered email IDs of the shortlisted candidates. Make sure to check your spam or promotions folder if you don’t see it in your primary inbox.

2. Strict Deadlines

The university has clearly stated that the specified deadline inside your admission email will not be extended under any circumstances. If a candidate fails to upload documents or pay the course fee within the given timeframe, their seat allocation will be canceled automatically.

3. Waiting List Management

If any seats remain vacant after the first round due to non-payment of fees or failed document verifications, IGNOU will issue a second round of admission offers. These vacant spots will be systematically offered to eligible candidates on the official waiting list via email.

Fee Payment Methods

Once your documents are verified, you will be required to pay your admission fee online. IGNOU accepts payments through the following safe digital modes:

• Credit Cards (Master/Visa)

• Debit Cards (Master/Visa/Rupay)

• Net Banking

• UPI

Note to Candidates: Always keep scanned copies of your Higher Secondary (Class 12th) mark sheets, identity proofs, category certificates (if applicable), and your NTA entrance scorecard ready to ensure a smooth online verification process. For regular technical updates, keep an eye on the official portal notices.
