IGNOU OPENMAT counselling has not been conducted since 2020. The candidates are supposed to fill out the application form and fulfil the required eligibility to get shortlisted. The candidates will be offered direct admission to MBA and PGDM courses. The last IGNOU OPENMAT counselling was held in 2020.
The counselling was conducted on weekends, i.e., Saturday & Sunday, according to the schedule decided by the Centre Coordinator. Applicants were to choose their options for all the courses at the study centre, which is located in that region. There were 6 counselling sessions of 2 hours & 30 minutes duration for each course in face-to-face mode.
The selection was made based on the regional merit in the entrance examination. If any seats remain vacant after the first round of counselling, then further counsellings were conducted.
