MA Corporate Social Responsibility (MACSR) · December 2026 term-end examination
Only five of the eighteen MACSR papers carry MACSR in their heading every session.
MACSR borrows most of its papers. The four CSR cores and MEDS-055 are written for it, while MEDSE-046, MSW-009, the MPCE electives and several MDV options arrive headed for other programmes, in three different layouts. This guide compares 73 IGNOU papers set from December 2024 to June 2026, counts what the five MEDS papers asked, and lines every code up against the December 2026 date sheet, which opens with MEDS-051 on the first day of the cycle.
- First paper: MEDS-051, Wed 25 Nov
- 73 IGNOU papers, 18 codes
- MEDS papers: any 5 of 8
- MPCE options: 2 hours, 50 marks
- June 2026: fixed notes in 4 of 5 MEDS papers
- Free paper calendar and answer clock
Write each code in IGNOU’s form, MEDS-052 or MSW-009, and say whether you want the PDF or the printed copy for it.
Quick answer. An IGNOU MACSR guess paper is a revision set of important and recurring questions for one MACSR course code, such as MEDS-052 CSR Process, with model answers. MACSR is the 72-credit, two-year Master of Arts (Corporate Social Responsibility) of IGNOU’s School of Extension and Development Studies; its Year I is the PGDCSR syllabus (MEDS-051 to MEDS-054, MSW-009 and MEDSE-046) and its Year II is chosen from twelve options. IGNOU’s December 2026 term-end examination (TEE) runs from 25 November 2026 to 14 January 2027, and the first MACSR paper, MEDS-051, falls on Wednesday 25 November at 2 PM. The five MEDS papers ask for any five of eight questions in 3 hours for 100 marks, while MPCE-031 and MPCE-033 are 2-hour, 50-mark papers in three sections. The rate is ₹49 per subject code for a solved guess paper as a PDF, or ₹100 per subject code as a printed copy. Printed copies carry a one-time courier charge of ₹100 per order, whatever the number of subject codes; the PDF has no courier charge. The language of each set matches the language IGNOU sets that code in, agreed on WhatsApp before anything is paid. Nobody outside IGNOU knows the questions in advance, and no MACSR set claims that any of its questions will be set.
From 25 November to 30 December: The MACSR Paper Dates
MACSR opens the December 2026 cycle: MEDS-051 Fundamentals of CSR is set on Wednesday 25 November 2026, 2 PM to 5 PM, the first examination day on IGNOU’s December 2026 date sheet dated 30 October 2026. The last MACSR paper is MEDS-055 Corporate Ethics and Governance on Wednesday 30 December. Two Year I papers, MEDSE-046 and MSW-009, are the only MACSR codes placed in the morning session.
The cycle as a whole runs from Wednesday 25 November 2026 to Thursday 14 January 2027, per the sheet IGNOU issued on 30 October 2026.
First MACSR paper
MEDS-051 on Wednesday 25 November 2026, from 2 PM
Last MACSR paper
MEDS-055 on Wednesday 30 December 2026, from 2 PM
Sheet of 30 October 2026, replacing the tentative sheet of 21 September; all 18 MACSR dates are unchanged between the two. IGNOU can still move a paper.
Year I: Two Papers in the Opening Week, Then a Long Pause
The Year I timetable is front-loaded and then stretched. MEDS-051 and MEDS-052 come two days apart in the first week, and the next Year I paper, MEDS-053, comes thirteen days later on Thursday 10 December. The last four Year I papers then fall within twelve days.
On a phone, swipe the table sideways for every column.
| Code | Date | Session | Paper | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEDS-051 | Wednesday 25 November | 2 PM to 5 PM | Fundamentals of CSR | First Year I paper |
| MEDS-052 | Friday 27 November | 2 PM to 5 PM | CSR Process | 2 days later |
| MEDS-053 | Thursday 10 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | CSR Implementation | 13 days later |
| MEDS-054 | Monday 14 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | CSR Projects and Programmes | 4 days later |
| MEDSE-046 | Wednesday 16 December | 10 AM to 1 PM | Development: Issues and Perspectives | 2 days later |
| MSW-009 | Tuesday 22 December | 10 AM to 1 PM | Community Organization Management for Community Development | 6 days later |
A learner who started revising in November should finish MEDS-051 and MEDS-052 first and treat the pause as the time for MEDS-053 and MEDS-054, which share material on implementing agencies, stakeholders and impact measurement.
Year II Options, 3 December to 30 December
Year II is a choice, so no two learners carry the same list. The twelve options are spread across four weeks, all in the 2 PM session.
On a phone, swipe the table sideways for every column.
| Code | Date | Session | Paper | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDV-102 | Thursday 3 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Dynamics of Development | First Year II option |
| MDV-004 | Saturday 5 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Gender and Development | 2 days later |
| MDV-109 | Tuesday 8 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Development in India – An Overview | 3 days later |
| MPCE-031 | Wednesday 9 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Organizational Behaviour | Next day |
| MPCE-033 | Saturday 12 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Organizational Development | 3 days later |
| MDV-108 | Tuesday 15 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Development Communication and Extension | 3 days later |

| MDV-111 | Monday 21 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Local Self Governance and Development | 4 days later |
| MEDS-042 | Thursday 24 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Issues and Challenges in Urban Planning and Development | 3 days later |
| MSWE-002 | Saturday 26 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Women and Child Development | 2 days later |
| MDV-115 | Monday 28 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Health and Development | 2 days later |
| MEDS-055 | Wednesday 30 December | 2 PM to 5 PM | Corporate Ethics and Governance | 2 days later |
Days That Need a Plan: Consecutive and Same-Day Papers
No two MACSR papers share a date and session, so there is no true clash on the sheet. Tight spots appear only for particular combinations:
- MDV-109 on Tuesday 8 December is followed by MPCE-031 on Wednesday 9 December.
- MEDS-054 on Monday 14 December, MDV-108 on Tuesday 15 December and MEDSE-046 on Wednesday 16 December make three consecutive days for anyone carrying a Year I paper into Year II.
- MDV-111 on Monday 21 December (2 PM) sits the day before MSW-009 on Tuesday 22 December (10 AM), less than a day apart once the evening finish is counted.
- MSWE-002 on Saturday 26 December and MDV-115 on Monday 28 December leave only the Sunday between them.
The free calendar further down this page flags each of these automatically for the codes ticked. The December 2026 date sheet summary covers every programme, and the two IGNOU examination slots are explained separately. Hall tickets for the cycle are covered on the IGNOU hall ticket page, and the exam centre guide explains how centres are allotted. Learners who have not yet paid can check the term-end exam fee and the online fee steps.
What the MACSR Term-End Paper Decides, and the Figure IGNOU Leaves Out
For MACSR, IGNOU prints no weightage figure: none of the 73 MACSR-related term-end papers from December 2024 to June 2026 carries a “Weightage” line, and the MACSR assignment booklet for the July 2026 and January 2027 sessions sets each assignment at 100 marks without stating its share of the course result. The split between the term-end paper and the assignment for MACSR is therefore taken from the Programme Guide, not from this page.
The MACSR papers do reveal how much writing each one demands. A MEDS paper asks for five full answers of 20 marks each in three hours, and an MSW-009 paper asks for five compulsory blocks with no question to skip. Each of the eighteen theory codes ends in one such paper, and a course is completed only when both the term-end paper and the assignment are passed under the Programme Guide’s rules.
The booklet itself is IGNOU’s MACSR assignment file for July 2026 and January 2027, filed on IGNOU’s site under the name MDV-102 although its cover reads MACSR. It sets 31 March 2027 as the last date for the July 2026 session and 30 September 2027 for the January 2027 session. Marks already earned can be turned into a percentage with the IGNOU percentage calculator. No pass mark is stated in the documents reviewed for MACSR, so none is given here.
Revision Set, IGNOU Paper or Solved Paper: Which Suits a MEDS Course
For MACSR, a guess paper means a publisher’s revision set for a single course code, MEDS-051 Fundamentals of CSR for example, which gathers the important and recurring questions of past papers and the syllabus and answers them; sellers also call it important questions, expected questions or a model paper. A previous year question paper is different: it is the paper IGNOU itself set in an earlier term-end examination, published free on ignou.ac.in. Add a publisher’s model answers to that IGNOU paper and it becomes a solved question paper.
All three are useful to a MACSR learner, for different jobs. The IGNOU paper is the authority on format. A solved paper shows how one person answered one session. A revision set groups the themes that keep returning across several sessions and answers them in the length the current layout asks for.
On a phone, swipe the table sideways for every column.
| Item | Guess paper (revision set) | Previous year question paper | Solved question paper |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Recurring questions for one code, answered | The exact paper IGNOU set in one session | That exact paper with model answers |
| Who prepares it | A publisher | IGNOU | A publisher |
| Cost | ₹49 PDF or ₹100 printed per code here | Free on ignou.ac.in | Varies by seller |
| Good for | Prioritising MEDS themes seen in several sessions; answer length | Format, wording, the short-note rule of the session | Seeing one full session answered |
| Cannot do | Tell anyone what IGNOU will ask | Group themes across sessions | Cover topics that session did not ask |
Free solved and unsolved papers across programmes are collected on the solved question papers page, and every programme’s revision sets are listed on the ignouproject.com guess paper hub. A sensible MACSR routine uses the newest IGNOU paper for each code first, then the set.
Built on the MEDS papers. Each CSR set starts from the four sessions IGNOU published from December 2024 to June 2026.
Five-of-eight answer length. MEDS answers are written for a 20-mark question split the way IGNOU splits it, 5+15 or 10+10.
Social-work layout for MSW-009. The set follows the five compulsory blocks, word limits and internal choices of the MSW paper.
Short MPCE answers. MPCE-031 and MPCE-033 sets are sized for 10-, 6- and 3-mark answers in a two-hour paper.
Companies Act topics kept current. Section 135, Schedule VII and the annual-report disclosures appear the way the papers phrase them.
Short-note pairs included. June 2026 set two fixed notes in four MEDS papers, so notes are prepared as answers, not as afterthoughts.
One code, one set. Year II learners order only the options they registered for; nothing is bundled by default.
Date order on request. Sets can be sent in the order of the December 2026 sheet, MEDS-051 first.
Medium checked first. For the bilingual papers the language of the set is agreed on WhatsApp before payment.
PGDCSR learners covered. The Year I MEDS papers are headed PGDCSR/MACSR, so one set serves both programmes.
Plain model answers. Definitions first, then the points an examiner can tick, then an Indian CSR example.
Two formats. A PDF sent over WhatsApp, or a printed booklet handed to the courier the day after the payment clears.
Eighteen MACSR Codes and the Four Paper Layouts IGNOU Uses
MACSR has eighteen theory codes across five prefixes, per section 3.47 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus: Year I carries MEDS-051 to MEDS-054 at 6 credits each, MSW-009 at 4 and one 8-credit elective, and Year II asks for 36 credits from twelve options. The prospectus prints a programme total of 72 credits and English as the medium of instruction.
The credits add up. Year I is 4 × 6 + 4 + 8 = 36, which is also the PGDCSR total printed in section 8.22. Year II is 36 chosen from a menu worth 64 credits: eight 6-credit options (48) and four 4-credit options (16). Year I offers two electives, MEDSE-046 Development: Issues and Perspectives and an 8-credit project; only MEDSE-046 has a term-end paper, so only it appears below.

How Each MACSR Paper Was Laid Out in June 2026
IGNOU uses four layouts across the MACSR list, so a learner sitting both a MEDS paper and an MPCE paper is preparing for two different exams. The table shows each code’s June 2026 paper, the newest IGNOU has published.

The Programme Names Printed on Each Paper
Half of the June 2026 papers a MACSR learner can sit do not name MACSR: of the eighteen codes, nine June 2026 papers print MACSR in the heading and nine are headed only for other programmes, such as MSW for MSW-009 and MSWE-002, MAPC for the MPCE options and PGDUPDL/MAUS for MEDSE-046 and MEDS-042. MEDSE-046 named MACSR and PGDCSR in December 2024 and June 2025, then dropped both from December 2025.

This matters on the day. A learner who opens a paper headed “Master’s Degree in Social Work” or “M. A. Psychology” is still holding the right paper if the course code matches the hall ticket. The code, not the heading, identifies the paper.
Where the Short-Note Question Sits, Session by Session
Every MEDS paper ends with a short-note question at Q8. Until June 2025 all five offered a choice of two notes from three. By June 2026, four of the five set exactly two notes with no choice.

The June 2026 short-note change. In the MEDS papers the fixed pair of notes went from none of five (December 2024 and June 2025) to one of five (MEDS-055, December 2025) to four of five in June 2026 (MEDS-051, MEDS-052, MEDS-053 and MEDS-055). Only MEDS-054 kept “any two of the following” over three topics. Whether IGNOU keeps the fixed pair in December 2026 is not known; a learner who skips short-note practice now has less room to recover on the day. MEDSE-046 moved the other way, from a fixed pair in December 2024 and June 2025 to two of three from December 2025.
The layouts and headings above for the codes outside the theme tables come from these IGNOU papers: MEDSE-046 Dec 2024, MEDSE-046 Jun 2025, MEDSE-046 Dec 2025 and MEDSE-046 Jun 2026; MSW-009 Dec 2024, MSW-009 Jun 2025, MSW-009 Dec 2025 and MSW-009 Jun 2026; MDV-102 Dec 2024, MDV-102 Jun 2025, MDV-102 Dec 2025 and MDV-102 Jun 2026; MDV-004 Dec 2024, MDV-004 Jun 2025, MDV-004 Dec 2025 and MDV-004 Jun 2026; MDV-109 Dec 2024, MDV-109 Jun 2025, MDV-109 Dec 2025 and MDV-109 Jun 2026; MPCE-031 Dec 2024, MPCE-031 Jun 2025, MPCE-031 Dec 2025 and MPCE-031 Jun 2026; MPCE-033 Dec 2024, MPCE-033 Jun 2025, MPCE-033 Dec 2025 and MPCE-033 Jun 2026; MDV-108 Dec 2024, MDV-108 Jun 2025, MDV-108 Dec 2025 and MDV-108 Jun 2026; MDV-110 Dec 2024, MDV-110 Jun 2025, MDV-110 Dec 2025 and MDV-110 Jun 2026; MDV-111 Dec 2024, MDV-111 Jun 2025, MDV-111 Dec 2025 and MDV-111 Jun 2026; MEDS-042 Dec 2024, MEDS-042 Jun 2025, MEDS-042 Dec 2025 and MEDS-042 Jun 2026; MSWE-002 Dec 2024, MSWE-002 Jun 2025, MSWE-002 Dec 2025 and MSWE-002 Jun 2026; MDV-115 Dec 2024, MDV-115 Jun 2025, MDV-115 Dec 2025 and MDV-115 Jun 2026. The December 2025 list also holds a second December 2025 MEDS-052 file, identical to the first.
Disagreements and outdated lists to know about.
- The prospectus prints “MSW – 009 Community Organization Management for Community Development”. The December 2024 paper prints “Community Organization : Management for Community Development” and the June 2026 paper “Community Organisation”.
- The prospectus prints “12 Credits to be taken together” beside MSWE-002 without naming which three 4-credit options form the group, while four 4-credit options are listed. The Regional Centre confirms the permitted Year II combination.
- The prospectus refers to “Clause 135 of the Companies Act 2013”; every MEDS paper calls it Section 135, which is the term used in answers.
- One third-party previous-paper site files MDV-102, MDV-108, MEDS-042 and MSW-009 as “older” or “legacy” MACSR codes. The July 2026 Common Prospectus lists all four as current, and the December 2026 sheet gives each a date.
- The publisher’s own store still lists a MACSR Year I combination as prepared for the June and December 2025 sessions; sets supplied through this page are prepared for December 2026, and that store listing is being corrected.
Twenty MEDS Papers, Four Sessions: The Themes IGNOU Returned To
IGNOU’s June 2026 MEDS-052 CSR Process paper repeated the core of six earlier questions among its seven long questions, three of them word for word: corporate governance (Q1, first set in December 2024), the rehabilitation and resettlement action plan (Q3, December 2025) and the methods to identify stakeholders (Q4, June 2025). Only Q7, on rural local bodies, was a new turn on an old theme.
The other MEDS papers reuse less openly: IGNOU’s MEDS-054 CSR Projects and Programmes papers set six themes in all four sessions from December 2024 to June 2026 yet repeated no question word for word, because each paper asks the same idea a different way: stakeholder analysis, PRA methods, SROI and the three project charts return every time in new wording.
June 2026 Questions IGNOU Had Asked Before

The method behind this table and the five below: ignouproject.com compared the twenty MEDS-051 to MEDS-055 papers IGNOU set in December 2024, June 2025, December 2025 and June 2026, reviewing each in full on 5 November 2026. A theme counts when a question or a short note asks for the same idea, whatever the wording, and that matching is a human judgement rather than a word search. A count of 3 of 4 means three of those four sessions asked it. The theme tables cover MEDS-051, MEDS-052, MEDS-053, MEDS-054 and MEDS-055; for MEDSE-046, MSW-009 and the Year II MDV, MPCE, MSWE and MEDS-042 options, the format and recurring themes are confirmed against the latest IGNOU paper on WhatsApp.
MEDS-051 Fundamentals of CSR: Theme Count
Community engagement and the definition of CSR with its theories came up in all four sessions. Companies Act questions appeared in three sessions running and then not at all in June 2026.

MEDS-055 as IGNOU filed it in each session: MEDS-055 December 2024, MEDS-055 June 2025, MEDS-055 December 2025 and MEDS-055 June 2026.
A Hindi-version detail in MEDSE-046. The December 2024 MEDSE-046 paper asks in English for the “causes and effects of inequality”, while the Hindi half of the same question asks for its causes and its yardsticks (mapdand). The Hindi course title also changed across sessions. A learner answering in Hindi should read the Hindi wording of each question, not assume it matches the English.
Turning Four MEDS Papers Into One Revision Set
A MACSR set is prepared in five steps, the same for every code, with the evidence changing from code to code.
- Collect the four latest IGNOU papers for the code. For a MEDS code these are the December 2024 to June 2026 papers linked above, each checked for the session printed on page 1.
- List each question and note by theme. A 5+15 question is entered as one theme with a short definition part and a long discussion part.
- Rank themes by sessions, not by marks. Themes set in 4 of 4 and 3 of 4 papers are answered first and in full; themes seen once are covered from the blocks more briefly.
- Write to the current layout. A MEDS answer is planned for about 34 minutes; an MSW-009 block answer for its word limit; an MPCE answer for 10, 6 or 3 marks.
- Check against the study blocks. Every answer is checked against the IGNOU block it comes from, so that a definition matches the course’s wording.
A Worked Outline: Identifying Stakeholders in MEDS-052
The stakeholder question has appeared in all four MEDS-052 papers, as “Define stakeholders. Discuss the different methods to identify stakeholders” in June 2025 and June 2026. A 5+15 answer can be planned like this:
- 5 marks, about 8 minutes: a definition of stakeholders, with primary and secondary stakeholders named.
- 15 marks, about 26 minutes: the identification methods the course teaches, each with a line on how a company applies it to a CSR project, and one Indian example of a community group consulted before a project began.
- A closing line linking identification to the stakeholder attributes (power, legitimacy, urgency) that December 2024 and December 2025 asked about.
What a MACSR Set Helps With, and Where IGNOU Alone Decides
A guess paper is a revision aid built from past IGNOU question papers and the syllabus. No one outside IGNOU knows the questions in advance, and no claim is made that any question in this set will appear in your examination.
Where a MEDS Set Pays Off
It puts the MEDS-052 stakeholder, governance and resettlement questions, the MEDS-054 project tools and the MEDS-055 dispute-resolution topics in front of a learner first, because IGNOU has asked them most often. It also trains answers to the right length for each layout and gives the fixed short-note pair the preparation June 2026 showed it needs.
Limits No Set Can Remove
It cannot tell anyone which questions the December 2026 papers will carry; MEDS-051 asked no Companies Act question in June 2026 after three sessions in a row that did. It cannot replace the IGNOU blocks for MEDSE-046, MSW-009 or the Year II options, and if IGNOU changes a layout again, a set built on the June 2026 pattern will need the learner’s own adjustment.
Revising without spending. Every MACSR paper used on this page can be opened free through IGNOU’s question paper lists, described in the section on official papers below, and the last year paper guide explains how to use them. The CSR course blocks are free through the eGyanKosh guide or the alternative Gyankosh route; printed blocks can be traced through IGNOU books download, and shorter summaries through the IGNOU study notes collection.
Two Free MACSR Planners: Paper Calendar and Answer Clock
The paper calendar sets the codes ticked against the December 2026 sheet in date order, flags consecutive days and the morning papers, and divides the revision hours left. The answer clock shows one code’s June 2026 layout, its minutes per answer and, for the MEDS codes, the themes IGNOU set most often.

On a phone, swipe the table sideways for every column.
| Paper type | Time available | Time per answer |
|---|---|---|
| MEDS, MEDSE-046, MDV, MEDS-042: any 5 of 8 at 20 | 170 minutes after 10 to read | 34 minutes per answer; a 5+15 split is about 8 and 26 |
| MSW-009 and MSWE-002: five compulsory blocks of 20 | 170 minutes after 10 to read | 34 minutes per block: one essay, two 10-mark answers at 17, four 5-mark answers at about 8, or five 4-mark notes at about 7 |
| MPCE-031 and MPCE-033: 50 marks in three sections | 110 minutes after 10 to read | About 22 minutes per 10-mark answer, 13 per 6-mark answer, 6 per 3-mark note |
Both planners draw only on the dates, layouts and theme counts in the tables on this page, and they run inside the browser without sending anything anywhere.
Getting MACSR Papers and the Date Sheet Straight From IGNOU
IGNOU keeps one list of question papers per session, and all four recent lists carry every MACSR code: the June 2026 question paper list, the December 2025 list, the June 2025 list and the December 2024 list.
- On a session list, use the browser’s find box with the hyphenated code, MEDS-053 for instance.
- Once the PDF opens, confirm the month and year printed beneath “Term-End Examination”. IGNOU parks its December 2024 files in a folder named downloads, whose address carries no session, so the printed first page settles which session a file belongs to.
- Expect duplicates and missing files. The December 2025 list carries MEDS-052 twice, once as “MEDS-052(1)”, and the two files are identical; the June 2026 list names separate MPCE-031 and MPCE-033 files marked “EVB”, which did not open on 5 November 2026.
- Dates belong to IGNOU’s own sheet alone: the December 2026 date sheet of 30 October 2026 replaced the tentative sheet of 21 September 2026. The sheet prints codes without hyphens, as MEDS051 and MSW009.
Third-party pages quote different release dates for the December 2026 sheet. The dates on this page come from the two IGNOU files only. Other programmes’ sheets are explained on the IGNOU date sheet guide.
Hall Ticket Before 25 November; Grade Card and Revaluation Later
The hall ticket is needed before MEDS-051 on 25 November, and it lists every code a learner is registered to sit; any MACSR code missing from it should be raised with the Regional Centre before the cycle opens.
After the papers, results arrive in two streams. Term-end marks appear on the IGNOU result page, and the previous cycle’s release is tracked on the June 2026 result page. Assignment marks are checked through the assignment result status. A learner unhappy with a term-end mark can read the revaluation process, and once all eighteen theory codes and the project are cleared, the final grade card guide and the CGPA calculator help with the overall standing.
Assignments, Study Blocks and Project Help Alongside a MACSR Set
A revision set covers the term-end paper only. The MACSR assignments are a separate requirement, and learners who want them written by hand can see the MACSR handwritten assignment service, while typed answers are covered under IGNOU solved assignments. For fuller course coverage than a set gives, the IGNOU help books and guide books online pages list what is available. The project course has no term-end paper and is handled separately, through the MACSR project guide for MEDSP-051 and, for diploma learners, the PGDCSR project page.
English Sets, Bilingual Papers: Medium for Each MACSR Code
MACSR is taught in English, per the July 2026 Common Prospectus, and fourteen of its eighteen papers are printed in English only. Four papers carry an English half and a Hindi half in one file: MEDSE-046, MSW-009, MSWE-002 and MEDS-042, each running 6 to 10 pages.
Each set is prepared for the upcoming term-end examination, in every medium IGNOU examines that course in, and the medium for your course code is confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay.
In practice, every MEDS, MDV and MPCE set is written in English. For the four bilingual codes the language of the set is agreed on WhatsApp before payment, against IGNOU’s current rules for that code. The session matters as much as the language: sets supplied now target December 2026, and a set prepared for an earlier cycle, such as the June and December 2025 combinations still advertised in places, was built before the June 2026 short-note change.
How to Order MACSR Revision Sets
The rate is ₹49 per subject code for a solved guess paper as a PDF, or ₹100 per subject code as a printed copy. Printed copies carry a one-time courier charge of ₹100 per order, whatever the number of subject codes; the PDF has no courier charge.
- Write the codes in IGNOU’s form, for example MEDS-051, MSW-009, MPCE-031.
- Mark each code PDF or printed. A mixed order is fine; the courier charge applies once if any printed copy is included.
- Send the list on WhatsApp to +91 93546 37830 with the medium for any bilingual code.
- Pay the total confirmed on WhatsApp.
The PDF is shared on WhatsApp once payment is confirmed. A printed copy is dispatched the next day after payment is confirmed, and the courier details are shared on WhatsApp. No arrival date is promised, because transit time depends on the courier and your location.
There is no minimum order: one subject or ten, same rate per format.
A Year I learner sitting all six papers pays ₹294 for six PDFs, or ₹600 for six printed copies plus the ₹100 courier charge, ₹700 in all. Rates for assignments, notes and the other services appear on the services and charges page.
Sources, Method and Review Dates for the MACSR Figures
IGNOU documents. The July 2026 Common Prospectus (section 3.47 for MACSR, section 8.22 for PGDCSR and the programme fee table), IGNOU’s MACSR assignment file for the July 2026 and January 2027 sessions, IGNOU’s question paper lists for December 2024, June 2025, December 2025 and June 2026, the 73 term-end papers linked on this page, and the December 2026 date sheets of 21 September and 30 October 2026. The general IGNOU prospectus guide explains where the prospectus is published.
The publisher’s analysis. The theme counts, the repeated-question table, the heading and short-note tables, the date checks and the minutes per answer are ignouproject.com’s own work from those documents, carried out on 5 November 2026. Each count is a judgement and is shown beside the IGNOU file it rests on, so a reader can test it.

MACSR Learners’ Questions Before an Order
An IGNOU MACSR guess paper is a revision set of recurring questions with model answers for one MACSR code, such as MEDS-053. It costs ₹49 per code as a PDF or ₹100 per code as a printed copy, and a printed order carries one ₹100 courier charge however many codes it holds.
In MEDS-052, stakeholders and employee engagement appeared in all four papers from December 2024 to June 2026, and the June 2026 paper repeated three earlier questions word for word. MEDS-054 set six project-tool themes in 4 of 4 papers. Repetition in the past is a record of what IGNOU asked, not a forecast.
MACSR starts on the opening day of the cycle: MEDS-051 Fundamentals of CSR is set for Wednesday 25 November 2026 in the 2 PM session, according to the IGNOU date sheet issued on 30 October 2026. MEDS-052 follows on 27 November, and the last MACSR paper is MEDS-055 on Wednesday 30 December 2026.
The MACSR exam pattern depends on the code. The five MEDS papers, MEDSE-046 and the MDV options give 3 hours for 100 marks, any five of eight questions at 20 each. MSW-009 and MSWE-002 make all five questions compulsory, and MPCE-031 and MPCE-033 are 2-hour, 50-mark papers in three sections.
MACSR is taught in English, and the MEDS, MDV and MPCE papers are printed in English only, so those sets are in English. MEDSE-046, MSW-009, MSWE-002 and MEDS-042 are printed in English and Hindi, and the language of those sets is agreed on WhatsApp before payment.
A MACSR learner gets most from both, in that order: the newest IGNOU paper for each code shows the current layout, and a guess paper then groups the themes IGNOU asked across several sessions with answers written to length. IGNOU’s papers are free on ignou.ac.in; a set costs ₹49 as a PDF or ₹100 printed.
IGNOU publishes MACSR previous year question papers free, as session-wise lists on ignou.ac.in in the Student Services area. The December 2024, June 2025, December 2025 and June 2026 lists carry every MACSR code; search the page for the code with its hyphen, such as MEDS-054.
A solved paper is one actual IGNOU paper, for example MEDS-052 of June 2026, with a publisher’s answers. A guess paper covers the themes that recurred across several MEDS-052 papers, so it reaches beyond one session, but neither shows what IGNOU will ask next.
No claim is made that a guess paper alone is enough to pass any MACSR course. A set supports revision of the themes IGNOU has asked before; the IGNOU blocks remain the full syllabus, and evaluation and results are decided by IGNOU alone.
Yes. The MEDS-051, MEDS-052, MEDS-053 and MEDS-054 papers are each headed PGDCSR/MACSR, so one paper serves both programmes, and section 8.22 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus lists the same Year I courses for the diploma. One set per code works for either learner.
Many MACSR codes are shared with other programmes. The June 2026 MSW-009 paper is headed for the MSW, the MPCE papers for MAPC, and MEDSE-046 for PGDUPDL and MAUS only. The paper is correct when its course code matches the hall ticket.
A printed MACSR order carries a one-time ₹100 courier charge per order, on top of ₹100 per code, while a PDF has none. The printed copy is dispatched the next day after payment is confirmed and the courier details follow on WhatsApp; no arrival date is promised.
No. MPCE-031 and MPCE-033 are MA Psychology papers of 2 hours and 50 marks: two of four questions at 10 marks, four of five at 6 marks and two of three short notes at 3 marks. A MEDS paper is 3 hours and 100 marks.
Any MACSR guess paper, including this one, can be judged on five points: it names the current code, follows the June 2026 layout, says which session it targets, answers in exam length, and makes no accuracy claim. A seller promising a share of questions is a reason for caution.
In the last two weeks, a MACSR learner can revise the themes each MEDS paper set in 4 of 4 sessions first, then practise two short notes per code, then time one full paper. The free calendar on this page shows the days left before each paper and flags consecutive dates.
IGNOU prints no weightage figure for MACSR: none of the 73 papers from December 2024 to June 2026 has a weightage line, and the 2026-27 assignment file gives only 100 marks per assignment. The MACSR Programme Guide is the source for the split.
No. MEDS-055 Corporate Ethics and Governance is one of twelve Year II options from which 36 credits are chosen, per the July 2026 Common Prospectus. It is the only MACSR paper headed for MACSR alone, and its December 2026 paper falls on 30 December.
