IGNOU Readmission

What is readmission at IGNOU?

When we failed to complete the program in a given duration. 

Like for BCA its three-year program and after that three more years were given to us to complete remaining/ back paper. 

So we can complete BCA in six years.

Suppose if we are unable to complete all courses in that Six year then we apply for readmission and IGNOU will give us two more years to complete remaining/back papers. 

There is a separate fee structure for readmission also for every program allotment of years is also different. 

What are the Rules and Guidelines for the readmission?
