Admission confirmation for the Master’s in Food and Nutrition (MFN) at IGNOU usually takes around 2–4 weeks after you submit your application, depending on the workload at the regional centre. Since it has been 15 days, there’s no need to worry yet — the verification process may still be ongoing.

You can do the following:

1. Check your admission status online here: IGNOU Admission Status using your control number.

2. Contact your regional centre with your application details (Control Number, Name, Program Code, Date of Application).

3. If there’s still no update after 30 days, you can raise a complaint on the IGNOU Grievance Portal (iGRAM): https://igram.ignou.ac.in/.

Most students receive confirmation within the mentioned timeframe, and once approved, you’ll get your enrollment number via email or SMS.

The last date for submission of IGNOU assignments for the July 2025 session is 31st October 2025. It is not 30th September; the university has extended the deadline, and all students of the July 2025 admission/re-registration cycle can submit their assignments up to 31st October 2025.

Regarding the assignment questions – you should always download and complete the latest assignment question papers provided for the correct session (July 2025 and January 2026). Sometimes the official portal may temporarily display the previous year’s question papers, but IGNOU will update it with the current year’s assignments.

So, please make sure you:

1. Use the assignment question papers for July 2025 and January 2026 sessions.

2. Submit your assignments before 31st October 2025 at your respective regional center/study center (or online if your RC allows).

Dear Lakshay,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the status of your admission application for the July 2025 session. I understand your concern as the admission confirmation process sometimes takes longer than expected. Based on the details you shared, here are a few important points and steps you can take:

1. Admission Status on Portal:
   If the admission portal is still showing “Fresh Application,” it usually means that your documents are still under verification at the Regional Centre level. This process often takes time, especially during peak admission months when a large number of applications are being reviewed.

2. Follow-Up with Regional Centre:
   Since you applied under RC Delhi-1 and already sent an email on September 15, you may also try the following:

   • Call the Regional Centre directly during office hours. Most RCs provide telephonic support for admission-related issues.

   • If possible, visit the Regional Centre in person with a copy of your application form, acknowledgment email, and fee payment proof. This often speeds up the verification process.

3. Check Central Admission Updates:
   You can also raise a ticket through the IGNOU Admission Helpdesk:

   • Visit: https://ignouadmission.samarth.edu.in/

   • Log in using your control number and registered credentials.

   • Use the “Help/Query” option to submit your issue directly to the admission team.

4. Keep Documents Ready:
   Ensure that the scanned copies of documents you uploaded (marksheets, ID proof, category certificate if applicable, and photograph/signature) are clear and valid. Sometimes delays occur when documents are blurred or not as per the required format, and the RC waits for rectification.

5. Be Patient with Processing:
   It is common for IGNOU admissions to take up to 6–8 weeks for confirmation, especially when applications are received close to the closing date. Since your acknowledgment was received on August 1, 2025, the admission confirmation may still be under process.

Recommended Next Steps:

• Call or visit RC Delhi-1 directly for quicker resolution.

• Raise a ticket via the IGNOU Samarth Admission Portal.

• Keep checking your admission status regularly at: https://ignou.samarth.edu.in/.
