In lieu of the increasing COVID-19 driven by the new Omicron variants, the NTA decided to take notice of the numerous requests and extended the last date to January 8 from December 31. Now, another extension of roughly a week has been given again. Candidates can register themselves for the entrance exam by visiting the official website, at www.ignou.nta.ac.in.
