What is the cost of changing subjects in IGNOU?

The cost of changing subjects in IGNOU is as follows:

• Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course

• INR 600/- for a 6/8 credit course for undergraduate courses.

• For the Master’s Degree Programme, it is INR 500/- for 2/4 credit

• INR 1000/- for 6/8 credits course

All these payments are to be made by way of a demand draft drawn in favour of IGNOU payable at the place of concerned Regional Centre. All such requests for a change of Elective/ Course should be addressed to the concerned Regional Centre only as per schedule.

However, the first point -Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course is subject to doubt. This is because many of my friends have changed their elective courses after two or three months.
