| Diploma & Certificate Courses | September 8, 2025 |
| BS, Associate Degree, BBA | September 15, 2025 |

AIOU officials noted that the extension was granted due to high demand and to accommodate students from flood-affected and remote areas. The university also advised students to complete the online application process well before the final dates to avoid server load issues.
