“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the examination process of all the educational institutions in the country has been affected and the declaration of result has been delayed. As a result of this, students aspiring to join higher education are not able to produce the results of their qualifying examinations,” reads an IGNOU statement.
It further added: “In order to provide relief to such aspiring students in keeping with the guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission, IGNOU shall grant Provisional Admission..”
IGNOU July 2020 Session: Provisional Admission
