No, you cannot reappear for the IGNOU term-end exams next year without paying the examination fees. IGNOU requires all students to pay the examination fees each time they appear for the term-end exams.
If you could not appear for the IGNOU term-end exams this year due to any reason, you can apply for the next term-end exams by filling the examination form and paying the required fees. IGNOU conducts term-end exams twice a year, in June and December, and you can choose to appear for the exams in the next available session.
However, if you had a valid reason for not appearing for the term-end exams, such as a medical emergency or any other unavoidable circumstance, you can apply for the re-evaluation of your case to the university. IGNOU may consider your case and waive off the examination fees in exceptional circumstances.
It is always better to contact the IGNOU regional centre or visit their website for more information and guidance on the process of reappearing for the term-end exams and the examination fees.
