Six Papers, Three Different Mark Patterns, And A First Year IGNOU Publishes Twice
The MACSR first-year paper and the PGDCSR diploma paper for the same sessions are the same six assignments, question for question, filed in two different folders on IGNOU’s own portal. Send the codes on your record and the handwritten set is written against whichever file governs them, then couriered as a hard copy.
- 72 credits, 18 taught codes
- Three mark patterns
- 600 to 800 words a question
- English medium only
- 31 March and 30 September
- Year wise, not semester
Send the codes as your registration confirmation spells them, whether you are in Year One or Year Two, the sessions printed on the cover of the file you downloaded, and your pin code. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.
Quick answer. A handwritten assignment is the answer set for IGNOU’s Tutor Marked Assignment questions, written out by hand on A4 and handed in as a hard copy at the study centre, and for MACSR, the 72-credit Master of Arts (Corporate Social Responsibility) run year wise over two years by the School of Extension and Development Studies, in which eighteen taught codes across five prefixes carry a question paper (MEDS-051 to MEDS-055, MEDSE-046, MSW-009, MDV-102, MDV-108, MDV-109, MDV-004, MDV-110, MDV-111, MDV-115, MEDS-042, MPCE-031, MPCE-033 and MSWE-002) while the eight-credit MEDSP-051 Project Work in CSR carries none, ignouproject.com prepares that handwritten set one course code at a time. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. No soft copy or PDF is sold. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price, which on MACSR resolves to the English paper, because section 3.47 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus records the medium of instruction as English. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent, delivered on MACSR as one hundred-mark paper per code with a printed guideline of around 600 to 800 words an answer, due 31 March for a July session and 30 September for a January session. Orders go to WhatsApp +91 93546 37830 with your codes and your year.
Why A CSR Paper Is Due In March And Not In October
Instruction 5 on all three live CSR booklets opened for this page gives the same pair, and it is not the pair most study-help sites reprint against this programme.
What the booklet gives for a July session. The July 2023 file names 31 March 2024 and the July 2024 file names 31 March 2025, so the day of the month has held steady across both cycles read here and the year simply advances.
What the same booklets give for a January session, printed as 30 September 2024 on the earlier file and 30 September 2025 on the later one. Both dates sit in a single numbered instruction rather than in a table.
The School of Management Studies pair of 31 October and 30 April circulates so widely that it gets copied onto CSR pages by people who never opened a MEDS booklet. It does not govern a MEDS, MEDSE or MEDSP code. Neither does anything printed for a semester-examined degree, because MACSR is examined year wise rather than by semester, which the programme summary table in the prospectus records against the January and July cycles.
Two qualifiers belong beside those dates. The first is that IGNOU issues university-wide extension notices that override what a booklet prints: the June 2026 cycle was extended twice by public notification, so the date on your file is a floor rather than a fixed point. The second is that dates move by Regional Centre. Confirm the operative one on ignou.ac.in and with your own Regional Centre before you plan a writing schedule. The only real urgency a CSR learner faces is the date printed on their own file and whatever their centre has issued since; nothing on this page expires by any design of ignouproject.com.
One further line on every CSR booklet changes how a backlog learner should read all of this. Irrespective of the year and session of your registration, you are instructed to submit the latest assignments uploaded on the website. That instruction has an unusual consequence on this programme, and it is set out under the course tables below, because the latest MACSR file IGNOU has uploaded is older than most learners assume.
The Thirty Per Cent That Decides Whether You Sit The Examination
Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent. On MACSR that share arrives as one assignment per course code worth 100 marks, and the booklet states the shape in a single sentence at the top of the file: you will do one assignment with five questions for each course.
What the sentence hides is that five questions means three different things on this programme. Ten of the eighteen taught codes follow the plain form of five questions at 20 marks each with a printed guideline of around 600 to 800 words per answer, which is roughly 3,000 to 4,000 words of longhand for one course. MSW-009 and MSWE-002 keep the five-question count but break each question open: two 20-mark questions with an internal choice, then any two of four at 10 marks, any four of six at 5 marks, and any five of eight at 4 marks, with word limits of 600, 300, 150 and 100 running down the page. MPCE-031 and MPCE-033 abandon the shape entirely and run Section A, Section B and Section C at 45, 25 and 30 marks.
A learner who plans an evening on the assumption that every CSR paper is five long essays will be wrong about four of them, and the four are exactly the ones where the marks are easiest to drop, because a 4-mark short note answered at essay length wastes an hour and earns nothing extra. The pattern is printed on your own paper. Read it before you buy a pen refill.
There is a second reason to read it this cycle rather than trusting a senior’s file. The MPCE-031 word limits changed between the two booklets read for this page. The July 2023 file asked for 1,000 words in Section A, 400 in Section B and 50 in Section C. The July 2024 file asks for 500, 200 and 200. The marks split did not move, the questions barely moved, and nobody announced the change. Anyone working from the older file is writing Section A at double length and Section C at a quarter of it.
Those marks are also an eligibility gate rather than a bonus. A course with no assignment on record does not complete, whatever the term-end script says, and once the study centre passes the figure up it sits against that course code permanently. The assignment status and result tracker is where you watch it land.
Reading A Model Answer Is Not The Same As Submitting One
Two products arrive on WhatsApp described in nearly the same words, and only one of them can cross a counter, so both are defined here before either is weighed against the other. A solved assignment is a soft-copy file of model answers covering one course code in one session, published so that a learner can study how a full-mark answer is put together before writing their own. A handwritten assignment is those answers written out by hand on A4, tied per course code, and submitted in hard copy at your allotted study centre. The first is preparation and the second is the submission, and printing the first does not convert it into the second.
The CSR booklet settles that in its own words at instruction 4: you should write in your own handwriting and only handwritten assignments are accepted. Nothing on this page and nothing sold anywhere else changes that sentence.
On MACSR the gap between reading and submitting is wider than it looks, because of what a CSR answer has to contain. MEDS-053 asks you to discuss the rating scales used to assess an NGO and to explain why a social venture counts as a new business model. MEDS-054 asks for the principles of Social Return on Investment and for the procedure of auditing a CSR programme. MEDS-051 asks for the CSR-related sections of the Companies Act, 2013. Those are answers with named instruments and worked structure inside them, and a bundle copied off a screen without following the argument still reads as unlearned to a counsellor marking against the blocks.
| Solved file for a CSR course code | Handwritten MACSR bundle | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | A PDF opened on a phone or a laptop | Tied A4 sheets arriving by courier |
| What you do with it | Read it while drafting your own five answers | Complete the cover fields, sign, hand it in |
| Who it suits | A learner unsure of the CSR blocks themselves | A learner without the evenings the longhand needs |
| Handwriting | Does not arise | Matched from a photo of your own hand |
| Rate | Priced on a different page, not this one | ₹320 per subject, courier included |
The handwritten column sits on the right; drag the table sideways on a narrow screen.
If a reference file is what you actually came for, the programme-wise and code-wise library of IGNOU solved assignments is where it lives. Printing one does not turn it into a MACSR submission, and neither product replaces the CSR blocks IGNOU already posted to you.
Twelve statements before a single CSR code reaches a price.
The first six are where a MACSR bundle actually goes wrong. The last six are limits this page will not soften for anyone who asks.
- One rate across five prefixes. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. A MEDS fundamentals paper, a MDV gender paper and a MPCE organisational behaviour paper cost the same, although only the first was written for this degree.
- The mark pattern is read, not assumed. Ten codes run five questions at 20 marks, two run the sectioned social-work form, and two run Section A, B and C at 45, 25 and 30. Every code you send is checked against its own pattern before a page is planned, because the wrong pattern costs marks even when the content is right.
- Which folder your paper is filed in gets checked. The MACSR first-year set and the PGDCSR set for the same sessions hold identical questions under different covers. Whichever one you downloaded, the questions are matched to your codes rather than to the programme name on the cover.
- Padding is resolved instead of bounced. The prospectus prints MSW – 009 and MDV- 102. The booklets print MSW – 009 in the first year and MDV-102 in the second, spaced one way and closed up the other in one file. Whichever spelling you send is matched to the paper.
- The project code is named and removed. MEDSP-051 Project Work in CSR carries eight credits and no Tutor Marked Assignment. If it appears in your list it is flagged and taken off the total rather than quietly billed as a subject.
- The uploaded paper, not your admission year’s. Every CSR booklet carries one line telling you to answer whichever set is currently posted, whatever year you registered in. On MACSR that line points somewhere unusually specific, and the course-code section below sets out where.
- Matched to the hand you already write in. Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. A registration that can run four years against a two-year minimum is a long stretch for one hand to stay consistent by luck.
- Whatever medium IGNOU issues. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. On MACSR section 3.47 records the medium of instruction as English and every live file read for this page is English, so in practice the clause resolves to a single paper rather than a choice.
- Ordered by code, never by year. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. Two MACSR learners in the same second year can share nothing at all, because the entire second year is thirty-six credits chosen from a sixty-four credit menu.
- A backlog code is ordinary work. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. A learner who came in laterally from the diploma and left MSW-009 behind is handled exactly like a fresh registration.
- Paper only, never a file. No soft copy or PDF is sold. If your centre demands an upload, the scanning is yours to do from the bundle that arrives, which keeps the inked original in your hands until a receipt exists for it.
- Nothing is claimed about the outcome. No claim is made about the marks any assignment will receive, about how an evaluator will assess it, or about whether it will be accepted. Assignment evaluation is entirely a matter for IGNOU. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.

Eighteen CSR Course Codes Across Two Years And Five Prefixes
MACSR is the programme code on your admission record and in section 3.47 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus. The course codes beneath it come from five prefixes rather than one: MEDS on the four CSR core papers and on the urban and ethics papers, MEDSE on the development elective, MEDSP on the project, MSW and MSWE on the two social-work papers, MDV on seven development papers, and MPCE on two psychology papers. One degree, six prefixes on the register, and a second year assembled almost entirely out of other programmes’ course families.
Section 3.47 places MACSR in the School of Extension and Development Studies, records eligibility as graduation in any discipline, records the medium of instruction as English, and sets a two-year minimum against a four-year maximum. It also records the route in: a learner who completes the Post Graduate Diploma in Corporate Social Responsibility may take lateral entry to the second year of MACSR by credit transfer for the PGDCSR courses.
The credits below were added rather than trusted, because column bleed between adjacent prospectus tables is a known failure on this document. First year: four CSR papers at six credits each is twenty-four, MSW-009 at four is twenty-eight, and the single elective at eight reaches thirty-six. Second year: thirty-six credits chosen from a list that prints sixty-four when every row is counted. Thirty-six and thirty-six is seventy-two, which is the total the table itself states. Counting every printed row instead gives one hundred, which is the arithmetic that tells you the second-year list is a menu rather than a syllabus.
Year One: Six Papers That Are Also The Whole PGDCSR Diploma
| Code | Official title | Credits | Assignment | Mark pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEDS-051 | Fundamentals of CSR | 6 | Assignment 1 | Five at 20 |
| MEDS-052 | CSR Process | 6 | Assignment 2 | Five at 20 |
| MEDS-053 | CSR Implementation | 6 | Assignment 3 | Five at 20 |
| MEDS-054 | CSR Projects and Programmes | 6 | Assignment 4 | Five at 20 |
| MSW-009 | Community Organization Management for Community Development | 4 | Assignment 5 | Sectioned social-work form |
| MEDSE-046 | Development: Issues and Perspectives (elective, one of two) | 8 | Assignment 6 | Five at 20 |
| MEDSP-051 | Project Work in CSR (elective, one of two) | 8 | None issued | No question paper |
Drag the table sideways on a narrow screen to reach the mark-pattern column.
Two features of that table decide what a first-year order looks like. The first is the elective pair at the bottom: MEDSE-046 and MEDSP-051 both carry eight credits and the table’s own footnote reads that one of the two is to be elected. Take the development paper and you have six assignments to write. Take the project instead and you have five, because IGNOU issues no Tutor Marked Assignment for MEDSP-051 at all. A MACSR learner can therefore finish the taught side of the degree having never written a project, which is unusual for a master’s programme and is worth stating in your first message, since it changes the order by one subject.
The second feature is larger. These same seven rows, at these same credits, are the entire Post Graduate Diploma in Corporate Social Responsibility. Section 8.22 of the same prospectus prints MEDS-051, MEDS-052, MEDS-053, MEDS-054, MSW-009, MEDSE-046 and MEDSP-051 with the identical credit column and closes with the words Total Credits 36. That is not merely a structural resemblance. The July 2024 and January 2025 PGDCSR booklet on IGNOU’s diploma index and the first-year half of the MACSR booklet on IGNOU’s master’s index carry the same six assignments with the same questions in the same order, down to the wording of every one of the thirty questions. Both were opened for this page and compared line by line. A first-year MACSR learner and a PGDCSR learner are writing the same paper; the only difference that reaches the evaluator is the programme name each writes on the cover sheet. Write yours deliberately.
Year Two: Thirty-Six Credits Chosen From A Sixty-Four Credit Menu
| Code | Official title | Credits | Assignment | Mark pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDV-102 | Dynamics of Development | 6 | Assignment 1 | Five at 20 |
| MDV-108 | Development Communication and Extension | 6 | Assignment 2 | Five at 20 |
| MDV-109 | Development in India: An Overview | 6 | Assignment 3 | Five at 20 |
| MDV-004 | Gender and Development | 6 | Assignment 4 | Five at 20 |
| MDV-110 | Training and Development | 6 | Assignment 5 | Five at 20 |
| MDV-111 | Local Self Governance and Development | 6 | Assignment 6 | Five at 20 |
| MDV-115 | Health and Development | 6 | Assignment 7 | Five at 20 |
| MEDS-042 | Issues and Challenges in Urban Planning and Development | 6 | Assignment 8 | Five at 20 |
| MPCE-031 | Organizational Behaviour | 4 | Assignment 9 | Sections A, B and C |
| MPCE-033 | Organizational Development | 4 | Assignment 10 | Sections A, B and C |
| MSWE-002 | Women and Child Development | 4 | Assignment 11 | Sectioned social-work form |
| MEDS-055 | Corporate Ethics and Governance | 4 | Assignment 12 | Five at 20 |
The mark pattern is the rightmost column again; drag the table across to reach it.
Nothing in that list is compulsory. The instruction above it reads choose any 36 credits, so two learners admitted in the same July can hold entirely different second-year lists and neither of them is wrong. Eight rows carry six credits and four carry four, which means the arithmetic that reaches thirty-six is not unique either: six six-credit papers gets you there, and so does four six-credit papers plus three four-credit ones. The second route is one paper more to write for the same credits, and that is worth knowing before you re-register rather than afterwards.
The four-credit rows carry a further complication. The prospectus prints the words 12 Credits to be taken together on the MSWE-002 row. Twelve credits is three of the four-credit courses, but the table gives no bracket, no asterisk and no list naming which three, and four four-credit courses are printed. Whether the bundle is MPCE-031, MPCE-033 and MSWE-002, or MPCE-033, MSWE-002 and MEDS-055, cannot be recovered from the text of the document. Confirm the grouping with the School of Extension and Development Studies before you re-register against those rows, and do not let any code list, including this one, settle it for you.
Every disagreement found between IGNOU’s own CSR documents, named one at a time.
Each was verified by reading the prospectus and the live booklets against one another before publishing. The last item is a group of errors on this website, disclosed here because they are queued for correction rather than defended.
- IGNOU publishes the same first-year paper twice under two programme names. The MACSR July 2024 and January 2025 booklet and the PGDCSR booklet for the same sessions carry the same six assignments with identical questions. They sit in different directories on IGNOU’s assignment portal, one under master’s degree programmes and one under postgraduate diploma programmes. Both are correct for a first-year MACSR learner. Only the cover differs.
- MEDS-055 is titled two different ways by IGNOU. Section 3.47 of the prospectus calls it Corporate Ethics and Governance, and the term-end question-paper archives use that title. Both the July 2023 and the July 2024 assignment booklets head Assignment 12 as Corporate Ethics and Development. The course code and the credit value are identical in every source, so this is a title conflict rather than two courses. Write the title your own paper prints on the cover sheet.
- The cover page disappeared between two sessions. The July 2023 and January 2024 booklet prints a full thirteen-field Cover Page for Assignment under a School of Extension and Development Studies heading: name of learner, enrolment number, name of the programme, programme code, regional centre and code, course title, course code, email, mobile or phone number, course coordinator, date of submission, address of student and signature of student. The July 2024 and January 2025 booklet drops that page entirely and leaves only instruction 1, which asks for four things at the top of the first page: name, enrolment number, course title and course code. Four fields will not satisfy a study centre that expects a front page, so use the thirteen-field layout and treat instruction 1 as the minimum.
- MPCE-031 changed its word limits without notice. The 2023-24 file asks for 1,000 words in Section A, 400 in Section B and 50 in Section C. The 2024-25 file asks for 500, 200 and 200 against the same 45, 25 and 30 mark split. The newer file also asks for 200 words for a 5-mark question in Section B and 200 words for a 10-mark question in Section C, which cannot both be right as guidance even though both are printed.
- MPCE-033 numbers its questions three times over in one file. In the 2023-24 booklet the MPCE-033 sections each restart at 1, so the paper contains three question 1s, three question 2s and three question 3s, while instruction 3 of the same file tells you to write the question number with each answer. The 2024-25 booklet numbers the same assignment straight through from 1 to 18. If you are working from the older file, label your answers by section as well as by number.
- A footnote marker with no footnote under it. The first-year heading in section 3.47 is printed as I Year followed by a hash mark. Nothing in section 3.47 explains that mark. The only comparable note in the document sits hundreds of pages later under a different school’s diploma table and concerns lateral entry, and the marker used in the prospectus for its two genuine footnote cases is defined in place. Here it is orphaned.
- Adjacent prospectus tables pad the same course two ways. Section 3.47 prints MDV-004 and MEDS- 042. The neighbouring section 3.46 prints the same two courses as MDV 4 and MEDS 42, unpadded and unhyphenated. The assignment booklets print MDV-102 closed up in the second year and MSW – 009 spaced in the first, inside one file. Search both forms before concluding a paper is missing.
- IGNOU has published nothing newer than July 2024 and January 2025 for MACSR. The master’s-degree assignment index for this programme lists four session blocks in all, and the newest is headed July 2024 and January 2025. There is no 2025-26 and no 2026-27 MACSR file on that index. Read against the booklet’s own instruction to submit the latest assignments uploaded on the website, that makes the 2024-25 file the current paper for a learner ordering now. Confirm the position with your Regional Centre on the day you order, because an index cell can be filled without notice.
- The index label and the file name disagree on one block. The block labelled January 2022 resolves to a file named for the January 2022 and July 2022 sessions, and that file, like the 2022-23 one below it, covers the first year alone. The 2023-24 file covers both years. What a MACSR block contains is therefore not predictable from its label.
- MEDSP-051 is the same project code the diploma uses. Project Work in CSR is the eight-credit elective in both MACSR and PGDCSR, and the project handbook issued by the school is addressed to both programmes at once. Two guidance pages on this website cover it, one for each programme, and they describe the same course work.
- On this website, pending correction. The ignouproject.com front page still carries an assurance that IGNOU will accept the assignment, backed by a refund. The MMPC-001 course page commits to a dispatch window measured in working days, which no honest page can promise. The MEG assignment page still offers a Hindi paper for a degree IGNOU issues in English alone. None of the three is repeated here, all three are wrong, and all three are queued for removal. Where any of them disagrees with this page, this page governs.
Your registration confirmation outranks any code list published anywhere, and that includes the two tables above. Programme structures, course codes, submission dates and rules change, and only ignou.ac.in and your Regional Centre can confirm the current position for your enrolment. The document those tables were read from is indexed on the IGNOU prospectus archive.
How A MACSR Set Gets Written Between Your Message And The Courier
What follows is the sequence a CSR order moves through. The first two steps carry most of the risk on this programme, because the thing most likely to spoil a MACSR bundle is answering the right questions in the wrong shape.
- Each code is placed in its year and its mark pattern. Your list is checked against the eighteen taught codes in section 3.47, each one is traced to the numbered assignment that holds it, and the pattern behind that number is fixed before anything is drafted. MEDSP-051 is set aside with a note rather than priced, so the reply counts published papers rather than the codes you sent.
- The cover of the file is read as well as its contents. A first-year CSR paper can arrive headed Post Graduate Diploma in Corporate Social Responsibility rather than Master of Arts. The questions are still yours and the answers are unaffected. The programme code you write on your own sheet is not, and MACSR is what belongs there.
- The answers are planned to the length the paper prints. Around 600 to 800 words for a 20-mark question, 600 for the long social-work questions, 300 for a 10-mark part, 150 for a 5-mark part and 100 for a 4-mark note, and on the psychology papers whatever Section A, B and C say on the file you actually hold, since those figures moved between the two sessions read for this page.
- Every answer is built from the CSR and development blocks. A question on stakeholder classification, on ISO 26000, on Social Return on Investment or on the seventy-fourth amendment is answered from the units IGNOU issued, because your counsellor marks against those units. They cost nothing: reach them through eGyanKosh, or by the alternate Gyankosh route when the repository is slow, with the wider catalogue indexed at IGNOU books download.
- Blue or black on A4, both sides, tied course wise. Instruction 2 asks for A4 plain or ruled paper written on both sides with a margin, with all pages tied carefully course wise, and instruction 3 asks for the question number beside each answer. Key terms are underlined once, pages are numbered through, and each code travels as its own bundle with the thirteen-field cover sheet on top, deliberately blank. The cover page walkthrough and the blank front page format PDF show that layout in advance, and the wider rules sit in assignment format and structure.
Matching The Hand Your Earlier Bundles Were Written In
Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. One page written at your ordinary speed and photographed flat in daylight carries enough of the slant, the letter heights and the joins you make without thinking to sustain a whole course of answers.
The case for it on MACSR is arithmetic rather than sentiment. A registration can run four years against a two-year minimum, the programme is examined year wise so Year One and Year Two go in a full year apart by design, and a learner who came in laterally from PGDCSR has diploma bundles already sitting in a study centre file under the same enrolment number. That is a long stretch for a hand to stay consistent by accident. The photograph is used for the order it belongs to and discarded with it.
Writing the MACSR set yourself is the better outcome, and every part of the method is free.
The whole approach is set out in the step-by-step handwritten assignment guide, a finished sample IGNOU assignment shows the depth a 20-mark answer actually reaches, the comparison of online and offline submission covers what happens once the bundles are tied, and the submission walkthrough covers the counter itself. Learners writing a cognate programme in Devanagari will want the notes on writing IGNOU assignments in Hindi, which do not apply to MACSR, since section 3.47 records this degree as English only. This page is for learners short of evenings, not learners short of CSR.
Two Free MACSR Utilities That Need No Order
Both utilities run inside the tab you opened them in, send nothing anywhere and keep nothing after you close the page. The first exists because eighteen taught codes at up to four thousand words apiece is a figure worth seeing before you plan a month around it. The second exists because on this programme the useful question is not what a code is called but which of the three mark patterns it follows and whether a paper exists for it at all.
Free tool 1
CSR Paper Count And Cut-Off Runway
Choose a stage or type how many CSR papers you are short of, then pick the session your admission falls in. The planner returns the cost at ₹320 each, the number of numbered questions those papers set, an approximate longhand word total at the booklet’s own 600 to 800 word guideline, a writing-time estimate, the next School of Extension and Development Studies cut-off computed from today’s date, and the days left to reach it.
Eighteen is every MACSR code that carries a question paper. MEDSP-051 is excluded from every option because IGNOU issues no Tutor Marked Assignment for it.
A whole number from 1 to 18. Choosing a stage above fills this in for you.
Both dates come from instruction 5 on the live MACSR and PGDCSR booklets. Dates move by session, by Regional Centre and by university extension notice, so confirm yours before planning.
Pick a stage or type a paper count, choose your session, then select Work Out Cost And Runway.
This tool is guidance from ignouproject.com, not an IGNOU rule. Using it creates no obligation to order anything. The word and time figures are planning estimates built on the booklet’s own 600 to 800 word guideline, and the cut-off shown is the pair the current booklets print rather than a notice issued by your Regional Centre.
Free tool 2
MACSR Code, Year And Mark Pattern Checker
Type any MACSR course code in whichever spelling you have it. The checker returns the official title as section 3.47 prints it, the credit value, the year the code sits in, whether IGNOU issues a question paper for it, the numbered assignment that holds it in the booklet, which of the three mark patterns it follows, and the checklist that applies to a handwritten paper in that pattern.
Spaces and hyphens are ignored and both paddings resolve, so MEDS 51, MEDS-051 and meds051 all reach the same paper. Read the code off your registration confirmation.
Type a code such as MEDS 051 or MPCE-031, then select Look Up This CSR Code.
This tool is guidance from ignouproject.com, not an IGNOU rule. Using it creates no obligation to order anything. Titles and credits follow section 3.47 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus and the assignment numbers and mark patterns follow the live booklets read for this page, and both should be checked against the paper in your own hand.

Where The MACSR Paper Sits, And Why It May Say PGDCSR
IGNOU charges nothing for its question papers and IGNOU is where yours should come from, whoever ends up filling the sheets. On this programme the download needs one extra moment of attention, because the correct paper for a first-year learner is published in two places under two names and because the newest block on the index is older than the current session.
- Start at the university’s own download service. Open the IGNOU assignment download service and search by programme code or course code from there. Do not type a file address from memory, because the MACSR files use long descriptive names that differ block by block.
- Open the MACSR block on the master’s degree index. The programme index is laid out newest first and lists four session blocks in total. Read the heading on the block before you download anything: a MACSR paper belongs to the sessions its cover names, and a beautifully handwritten bundle answering the wrong block’s questions is still the wrong bundle.
- Check the diploma index as well if you are in Year One. The Post Graduate Diploma in Corporate Social Responsibility publishes the identical first-year paper under postgraduate diploma programmes. If the master’s block for your session is missing a file, the diploma block may hold the same questions. What it will not give you is the programme code for your cover sheet.
- Read the session line and instruction 5 together. The cover tells you which sessions the file serves and instruction 5 tells you when the pages must reach a counter. They answer different questions, and on a programme whose newest published block is July 2024 and January 2025, the first one deserves a confirmation call to your Regional Centre before you start writing.
With the questions in front of you, the archive of solved question papers and the previous year paper collection show how a three-hour examination hall treats CSR material differently from a four-thousand-word assignment, which is worth seeing before assuming that preparing for one prepares you for the other.
What Happens To A MACSR Mark After The Counter Stamps It
The counter is a checkpoint rather than a finish line. Get the receipt stamped and keep it, and photograph every page before the bundle leaves your hands, because a set that goes missing between a study centre and the evaluation division is only recoverable by someone who kept a copy.
From there the number moves in three stages. The study centre records receipt, the counsellor’s award travels to the Student Evaluation Division, and only then does a figure attach itself to the course code. Receipt and score sit on different screens and answer different questions, so follow the first through the assignment marks status lookup and the second through the assignment grade card explainer, with the grade card status page for a code that refuses to appear and the final grade card guide once both halves are posted. Each lookup opens by asking for the identifier explained on the enrolment number page, and the general assignment hub covers the rest of the cycle.
A MACSR course showing as incomplete has one cause peculiar to this degree. A first-year code can be attached to the Post Graduate Diploma in Corporate Social Responsibility rather than to the master’s, because the seven courses are shared and a lateral-entry record can be registered either way. That is an administrative attachment rather than a lost mark, and a Regional Centre can resolve it with your enrolment number. Once a course shows both its assignment mark and its examination mark, the percentage calculator and the CGPA calculator turn the pair into a figure you can read. A term-end score you want challenged goes down the revaluation route, which touches the answer script alone, so an assignment mark cannot be revalued. Wider timing sits on the IGNOU result page, the June 2026 result tracker and the postgraduate result page.
What CSR Learners Order Alongside The Handwritten Set
An assignment order is rarely the only line in a message from a CSR learner, because the eight-credit project sits in the same year as the taught papers and the examination sits at the end of both years.
- The seventy per cent an assignment cannot reach. The term-end script carries the larger share, so the unit-wise study notes and the guess paper collection repay attention faster than any bundle does, with the help book range and the online guide books compressing the CSR and development blocks into something revisable.
- MEDSP-051, which is a different order entirely. Eight credits of Project Work in CSR is written up as a report rather than answered as questions, and the school issues one project handbook addressed to MACSR and PGDCSR together. The MACSR project guide for MEDSP-051 and the PGDCSR version of the same guidance cover the course, with the synopsis and proposal service, the project and dissertation service, the report format guide, the general IGNOU project guidelines, the project submission walkthrough, the project status checker and pricing on the list of services and charges rather than at the ₹320 assignment rate.
- Neighbouring programmes in the same school. The MDV papers in Year Two belong to development studies, the MEDS urban paper belongs to the town-planning stable, and the MSW papers belong to social work, so the MADVS handwritten assignment page covers the MDV codes from the other side, and the MAUS urban studies project guide, the MARD rural development project guide and the MASS sustainability project guide are the adjacent routes CSR learners move between.
- Other programmes running the same handwritten service. Learners with a second enrolment or a family member elsewhere usually ask, so the MAHD handwritten assignment page, the MASO handwritten assignment page, the BAM handwritten assignment page and the BSCM handwritten assignment page carry the same rate against different code families and different school calendars.
Medium, session, and the point at which a CSR paper stops counting. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. On MACSR section 3.47 records the medium of instruction as English and every live file read for this page is English, so that clause resolves to one paper rather than a choice, and any offer of a Hindi MACSR assignment deserves suspicion. On sessions: a MACSR paper belongs to the sessions printed on its cover and the questions are replaced under unchanged course codes when a new block is posted. Because the booklet instructs you to submit the latest assignments uploaded on the website regardless of when you registered, an older file does not stay valid merely because it matches your admission year, and on this programme the latest uploaded block is July 2024 and January 2025. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. Tell us the sessions your own cover prints and the answers follow the questions attached to that block.
Sending A MACSR Order In One WhatsApp Message
There is no form on this page, no account and no login. The whole exchange runs over WhatsApp on +91 93546 37830, and the job is not finished when a courier hands the parcel across. It is finished when a stamped receipt is in your hand.
- Message the number with your codes. The MEDS, MEDSE, MSW, MDV, MPCE or MSWE codes exactly as your registration confirmation spells them, padded or unpadded, whichever it prints.
- Your patterns and your total come back. Each code is placed in its year and its mark pattern, MEDSP-051 is named and removed, the total is confirmed at ₹320 per subject, and delivery for your pin code is confirmed before you pay.
- The bound set arrives and you complete it. Every code comes tied on its own with the thirteen-field cover sheet on top and deliberately unfilled. The enrolment rows and the signature underneath stay yours to complete. That declaration makes a statement about who understood the material, and nobody outside your enrolment is in a position to make it.
Five lines are worth sending in that first message:
- Course codes. Copied from your registration confirmation rather than recalled, with whatever padding it prints.
- Year One or Year Two. MACSR is examined year wise, and the year decides which block of the booklet your paper sits in.
- Whether you took MEDSE-046 or MEDSP-051. The first is a paper to write and the second is a project with no paper at all, so this single line changes a first-year order by one subject.
- The sessions printed on your booklet cover. That settles which questions are being answered, which matters more here than on programmes whose papers are refreshed every cycle.
- Pin code, plus a handwriting sample if you want one. A photograph of anything you have written is enough, and matching costs nothing.
The Three Sources Behind Every Figure Above
From the IGNOU Common Prospectus, July 2026. Section 3.47 supplied the School of Extension and Development Studies placement, the eligibility of graduation in any discipline, the English medium of instruction, the two-year minimum against a four-year maximum, the year wise mode across the January and July cycles, every course code with its official title and credit value, the first-year and second-year split, the choose-any-thirty-six-credits instruction, the one-of-two elective footnote on MEDSE-046 and MEDSP-051, the orphaned hash mark on the I Year heading, the unexplained twelve-credits-taken-together note, and the lateral-entry route from PGDCSR. Credits were confirmed by addition rather than accepted on sight: twenty-four plus four plus eight is thirty-six in the first year, thirty-six chosen in the second, and seventy-two against the seventy-two the table states, where counting every printed second-year row instead would give one hundred. Section 8.22 supplied the PGDCSR table whose seven rows match the MACSR first year and whose own line reads Total Credits 36. Section 3.46 supplied the neighbouring unpadded spellings of MDV 4 and MEDS 42.
From live IGNOU assignment booklets. Reading one file would have settled nothing, since an oddity in a single PDF is as likely to be a typing slip as a rule, so three were opened and compared against each other. Two are MACSR: the consolidated set for July 2024 and January 2025, which is the newest block on IGNOU’s own master’s index, and the set for July 2023 and January 2024. The third is the PGDCSR set for July 2024 and January 2025, opened specifically to test whether the diploma paper differs from the master’s first year, which it does not. Between them they supplied the 31 March and 30 September pair on two independent cycles, the one-assignment-per-course rule, the hundred-mark total, the three mark patterns and their internal splits, the 600 to 800 word guideline, the absence of any TMA code, the four-field instruction 1, the thirteen-field cover page and its disappearance from the newer file, the A4 both-sides binding instruction, the own-handwriting instruction, the latest-assignment rule, the MEDS-055 title conflict, the MPCE-031 word-limit change and the MPCE-033 restarted numbering. The published-session position was read off IGNOU’s own MACSR assignment index.
From ignouproject.com as publisher. Everything commercial on this page belongs to the imprint alone: what is charged, the refusal to sell a file, the treatment of older cycles and other mediums, the absence of an order floor, and the free handwriting match. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. No soft copy or PDF is sold. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page. None of that is an IGNOU rule, and IGNOU has no part in any of it.

What CSR Learners Ask On WhatsApp
The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. One CSR course code is one subject, so a first-year learner taking MEDSE-046 has six papers and a learner taking MEDSP-051 instead has five. The rate does not change with the prefix, the credit value or the mark pattern, so a four-credit MPCE-031 paper with three sections costs the same as a six-credit MEDS-051 paper with five essays.
Instruction 5 on the MACSR booklets gives 31 March for a July session and 30 September for a January session. The July 2023 file names 31 March 2024 and 30 September 2024, and the July 2024 file names 31 March 2025 and 30 September 2025, so the pattern holds across both cycles read for this page. The School of Management Studies pair of 31 October and 30 April does not apply to a CSR code. IGNOU also issues university-wide extension notices that push these dates back, so confirm the operative one on ignou.ac.in and with your Regional Centre.
Because the two programmes share a syllabus for that year. Section 8.22 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus prints the Post Graduate Diploma in Corporate Social Responsibility as MEDS-051, MEDS-052, MEDS-053, MEDS-054, MSW-009, MEDSE-046 and MEDSP-051 totalling 36 credits, which is exactly the MACSR first year. IGNOU accordingly publishes the same six assignments in both places, and the July 2024 and January 2025 files match question for question. Either file gives you the right questions. The programme code you write on your cover sheet is MACSR, not PGDCSR.
No. None of the three CSR booklets read for this page prints a Tutor Marked Assignment code anywhere. Each paper is identified by a serial heading, from ASSIGNMENT 1 to Assignment 12, followed by the course title and a line reading Course Code, for example MEDS – 051. If a seller sends you something labelled with a constructed TMA string for a MEDS code, that string did not come off an IGNOU MACSR paper. Write the assignment number and the course code, which is what the booklet itself uses.
The July 2024 and January 2025 block is the newest one on IGNOU’s own MACSR index, and the booklet instructs that irrespective of the year and session of your registration you submit the latest assignments uploaded on the website. Taken together, that makes the 2024-25 file the current paper. It is still worth one call to your Regional Centre before you write, both because a new block can appear without notice and because a centre occasionally holds an instruction the index does not show.
Guideline 3(a) on the CSR booklets asks for around 600 to 800 words per question, which applies to the ten papers that run five questions at 20 marks each. MSW-009 and MSWE-002 print their own limits down the page: 600 words for the two 20-mark questions, 300 for a 10-mark part, 150 for a 5-mark part and 100 for a 4-mark short note. MPCE-031 and MPCE-033 print theirs by section, and those figures changed between sessions, so read them off the file you actually hold rather than from a senior’s copy.
IGNOU uses both. Section 3.47 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus and the term-end question-paper records give Corporate Ethics and Governance. Assignment 12 in both the 2023-24 and the 2024-25 booklets is headed Corporate Ethics and Development. The course code is MEDS-055 in every source and the credit value is 4 in every source, so it is one course with two titles rather than two courses. Copy the title your own paper prints onto the cover sheet, since that is the sheet the evaluator reads.
No. Project Work in CSR is an eight-credit elective and IGNOU issues no question paper for it in either the MACSR or the PGDCSR booklet. It is written up as a project report against the school’s own project handbook, which is addressed to both programmes together. If it appears in an order list it is named and taken off the total rather than billed as a subject, and the guidance for it sits on a separate page from this one.
A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for one course code and one session, read alongside the study blocks while you draft your own version. A handwritten assignment is those answers written out by hand on A4, tied per course code and submitted in hard copy at your study centre. The first helps you write; the second is the thing you hand over. This page covers the second only, at ₹320 per subject.
No. Instruction 4 on every CSR booklet reads that you should write in your own handwriting and only handwritten assignments are accepted, so a printout of a reference file is not a submission whatever it contains. Use a solved file the way it is meant to be used, as reading beside the blocks, and put the answer on paper in ink yourself or have a handwritten set prepared.
The CSR booklet does not allow it. Instruction 4 restricts submission to your own handwriting and states that only handwritten assignments are accepted. Where a Regional Centre asks for an upload instead of a counter submission, what it wants is a scan of handwritten pages rather than a typed document, so the writing still has to happen on paper first.
Section 3.47 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus records the MACSR medium of instruction as English, and every live CSR file opened for this page is in English. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price, so if the university ever posts a Hindi CSR paper it is covered at ₹320 as well. Until it does, an offer of a Hindi MACSR assignment should be treated with suspicion.
Use the thirteen-field one. The 2023-24 booklet prints a full Cover Page for Assignment under a School of Extension and Development Studies heading asking for name of learner, enrolment number, programme name, programme code, regional centre and code, course title, course code, email, mobile number, course coordinator, date of submission, address and signature. The 2024-25 booklet dropped that page and left only instruction 1, which asks for four things. Four fields will not satisfy most study centres, so fill the longer layout and treat instruction 1 as a minimum.
Between nine and thirteen, depending on two choices. The first year is six papers if you take MEDSE-046 and five if you take MEDSP-051 instead. The second year is thirty-six credits chosen from a sixty-four credit menu, which is six papers if you pick only six-credit courses and seven if you mix in three four-credit ones. Eighteen taught codes carry a paper in total, but no single learner is registered in all of them.
Yes. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. The one thing to send with a backlog code is the sessions printed on the cover of the file you hold, because the booklet instructs learners to answer the latest uploaded paper rather than the one that was live at registration, and on MACSR that distinction currently points at the July 2024 and January 2025 block.
No soft copy or PDF is sold. What this page offers is a handwritten hard copy prepared against your own course codes and couriered to you. If your Regional Centre asks for an upload, you scan the delivered pages yourself, which keeps the inked original in your hands for the study centre to stamp. Reference files are published separately and are not part of this rate.
No. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. Nothing is added for packing, for distance or for a smaller order. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.
There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. On MACSR that matters more than on a semester degree, because the entire second year is chosen rather than fixed, so learners routinely need two or three specific codes rather than a whole year. Send the codes you are actually short of.
Section 3.47 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus states that students who complete the Post Graduate Diploma in Corporate Social Responsibility can take lateral entry to the second year of MACSR by taking credit transfer for the PGDCSR courses. Admission questions themselves go to IGNOU rather than to this page. What follows for assignments is that a lateral-entry learner writes second-year papers only, unless a first-year code was left incomplete on the diploma record.
No claim is made about the marks any assignment will receive, about how an evaluator will assess it, or about whether it will be accepted. Assignment evaluation is entirely a matter for IGNOU. What is offered is a set written against the questions on your own paper, in the mark pattern that paper prints, tied course wise and couriered as a hard copy. Any page promising an acceptance guarantee is promising something no third party can deliver.
