IGNOU’s BLIS booklet asks for foolscap sheets with a three-inch left margin, marks most papers out of 70, and keeps half of BLI-224 and BLIE-229 for a practical done at the Study Centre. ignouproject.com writes the paper half of all nine by hand, in English or in Hindi.
- BLI-221 to BLIE-229
- 70-mark TMAs, two at 35
- 31 March and 30 September
- English or Hindi answers
- Copied in your own hand
- Older sessions taken

Quick answer. An IGNOU BLIS handwritten assignment is the Tutor Marked Assignment for one course of IGNOU’s one-year, 40-credit Bachelor of Library and Information Science, answered in ink on the foolscap sheets IGNOU’s BLIS booklet names and handed to the Study Centre as a hard copy; the BLIS programme of the School of Social Sciences has ten 4-credit courses, nine of which carry a TMA (BLI-221 to BLI-225 and BLIE-226 to BLIE-229) while BLII-230 Internship carries none, and ignouproject.com writes each of the nine by hand at ₹320 per subject with courier included, in English or in Hindi because IGNOU lets BLIS learners answer in either, for the current session or an older one, matched free of charge to a photo of your handwriting; assignments carry 30 per cent of each course result, every BLIS booklet from 2021-22 to 2025-26 fixes 31 March for July-session learners and 30 September for January-session learners, the 35-mark practical halves of BLI-224 and BLIE-229 are done at the Study Centre and cannot be ordered, and codes go to WhatsApp +91 93546 37830.
BLIS Cut-Offs: 31 March 2027 for July 2026 Admissions, 30 September 2027 for January 2027
July 2026 BLIS learners submit by 31 March 2027; January 2027 learners by 30 September 2027. The December 2026 window closed on 31 October 2026.
Admitted in July 2026
31 March 2027
The July-session date on every BLIS booklet IGNOU has listed, from 2021-22 to 2025-26. Feeds the June 2027 term-end examination.
Admitted in January 2027
30 September 2027
The January-session date on the same five booklets. Feeds the December 2027 term-end examination.
31 March is the last date IGNOU prints for July-session BLIS learners, and it has not moved on any BLIS booklet from July 2021 to July 2025. The 2025-26 English booklet gives July 2025 learners 31 March 2026 and January 2026 learners 30 September 2026, and the Hindi booklet for the same sessions prints the same pair. IGNOU’s BLIS assignment index on webservices.ignou.ac.in listed no July 2026 booklet when this page was checked on 7 November 2026, so 31 March 2027 for July 2026 learners is the five-year pattern, not yet a printed date. A July 2026 BLIS learner plans to 31 March 2027 and reads the new booklet’s own date the day it appears.
31 October 2026 was the final date for BLIS assignments meant for the December 2026 term-end examination, after IGNOU moved the 30 September 2026 cut-off, according to a Careers360 Hindi report. That window has closed. What follows is set by the BLIS booklet’s validity rule: an assignment is valid for one year, and a learner who misses the due date attempts a fresh set issued for a later session instead of the old one.
Two smaller traps sit inside the same 2025-26 booklet. Its date table says 31 March 2026, while the worked example in its instructions says 30 March 2026. Plan to the earlier day and nothing is lost.
Dates shift by session and by Regional Centre. The site keeps a running record of IGNOU assignment notices as extensions are announced.
Thirty Per Cent, a 40 Per Cent Pass Line and an Exam Seat: What One BLIS TMA Decides
Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent.
A missing BLIS paper costs more than marks. The 2025-26 booklet states that a learner who does not submit the specified assignments, or complete the practicals in time, is not allowed to sit the term-end examination for that course. The BLIS Programme Guide, revised in July 2022, then asks for 40 per cent in the assignment, assessed separately from the examination.
Seven of the nine BLIS assignments are marked out of 70, not 100. BLI-221, BLI-222, BLI-223, BLI-225 and BLIE-226 each set ten compulsory questions on the 2025-26 booklet, four at 10 marks in up to 500 words and six at 5 marks in up to 250 words. BLIE-227 sets ten classification and cataloguing exercises at 7 marks each, and BLIE-228 divides its 70 marks between two parts. BLI-224 and BLIE-229 put only 35 marks on paper, three 5-mark answers and ten 2-mark short notes of up to 200 words, because their other 35 marks belong to a practical. A BLIS learner therefore budgets each paper by its own printed marks rather than by a 100-mark habit carried over from another programme.
Written to the word ceilings, a BLI-221 paper and a BLI-224 paper both come to roughly 3,500 words. Nine of them fall inside a one-year programme.
A BLIS Answer File or Ink on Foolscap: Which One the Study Centre Coordinator Takes
The coordinator takes ink on foolscap. A downloaded answer file is something to read before writing, and nothing more.
A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for one IGNOU course code and one session, for example BLI-222 Information Sources and Services for the July 2025 and January 2026 sessions. A BLIS learner might open one to see how a 10-mark answer on the criteria for evaluating a dictionary can be organised. Instruction 7 of the 2025-26 BLIS booklet says typed and computer print assignments are not permissible, and section 14.7 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus keeps typed work for learners with a valid disability certificate. A printout of a solved file is therefore not a BLIS submission.
A handwritten assignment is the same BLIS booklet answered by hand, one course code such as BLIE-227 per bundle, and handed to the coordinator of the Study Centre allotted to the learner. The 2025-26 BLIS booklet sets the paper rules plainly: foolscap sheets of ordinary writing paper, a 3-inch margin on the left, at least four lines between answers, the question number written with each answer, and identification details in two blocks at the top of the first page. Answers copied from the course units, the booklet adds, receive zero. That foolscap bundle is what an evaluator marks and the Study Centre later returns with comments.
| Point | Solved assignment | Handwritten assignment |
|---|---|---|
| Form | Soft-copy file for one BLI or BLIE code and one session | Ink on foolscap, one code per bundle |
| What the learner does with it | Reads it while planning answers | Reads it, signs it, hands it in |
| Accepted by the Study Centre | No; the booklet rules out typed and printed work | Yes, through the coordinator |
| Suits | A learner who will write all nine papers personally | A working librarian short of evenings before 31 March |
| Price on this site | Listed with the reference files | ₹320 per subject, courier included |
On a phone the table moves sideways.
A learner who needs only the reading copy can find BLI and BLIE reference answers among the solved assignments. Everything after this point concerns the bundle that is submitted.
What Each BLIS Bundle Is Checked For Before It Is Posted
Foolscap unless told otherwise. Instruction 8 names foolscap, so a BLIS set goes on foolscap. If your Study Centre has told you in writing to use A4, say so in the first message.
Three inches on the left. The margin is ruled before the first word, and at least four lines separate one answer from the next.
Two header blocks. Enrolment number, name, address and dispatch date sit top right; programme, course, assignment number and Study Centre sit top left.
The AST string, exactly. AST/TMA/ Jul.2025/Jan.2026 is copied with its spacing, and BLI-225 keeps its AST-1 prefix.
No question skipped. The BLIS booklet says answer all questions. There is no any-five choice to lean on.
Ceilings kept. Long answers stop near 500 words, short ones near 250, and BLI-224 and BLIE-229 notes near 200.
DDC numbers with their working. On BLIE-227 each class number is built step by step, since the analysis carries 4 of the 7 marks.
Catalogue cards ruled by hand. AACR-2R entries and MARC 21 tag, indicator and subfield columns are drawn the way the booklet’s formats show.
Fresh prose, not unit text. Copying from the units scores zero under the booklet’s own rule, so answers are composed rather than transcribed.
Practicals left out. The AST/PRAC halves of BLI-224 and BLIE-229 belong to the Study Centre lab. Nothing on paper replaces them.
Signature line empty. Every field is filled except the one only you may sign, after you have read the answers.
All nine for ₹2,880. Nine TMAs at ₹320 each, with courier already counted in every one.
Nine BLIS TMAs, One Rate Each. Which Ones Are Still Blank?

Price My Pending BLIS PapersTen BLIS Courses, Nine Booklet Answers: BLI-221 to BLII-230 Read Course by Course
A BLIS learner writes nine assignments, because the 40-credit programme in section 6.4 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus is built from ten courses of 4 credits each and only BLII-230 Internship has no Tutor Marked Assignment. Ten courses at 4 credits make 40, the total the prospectus states, and the BLIS Programme Guide of July 2022 lists the same ten codes and the same total. The programme runs for one academic year, with two years allowed to finish all ten. Both sums were checked before the table below was trusted.
| Code | Official title | Credits | Type in the prospectus and guide | 2025-26 assignment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BLI-221 | Library, Information and Society | 4 | Theory | One TMA, 70 marks |
| BLI-222 | Information Sources and Services | 4 | Theory | One TMA, 70 marks |
| BLI-223 | Organising and Managing Information | 4 | Theory | One TMA, 70 marks |
| BLI-224 | ICT Fundamentals | 4 | Practical component | TMA 35 marks plus practical 35 marks |
| BLI-225 | Communication Skills | 4 | Practical component, but no practical hours in the guide | One TMA, 70 marks, code AST-1 |
| BLIE-226 | Management of Library and Information Centre | 4 | Theory | One TMA, 70 marks |
| BLIE-227 | Document Processing Practice | 4 | Practical component | Ten DDC and cataloguing exercises, 70 marks |
| BLIE-228 | Information Products and Services | 4 | Practical component | One TMA in two parts, 70 marks |
| BLIE-229 | ICT in Libraries | 4 | Practical component | TMA 35 marks plus practical 35 marks |
| BLII-230 | Internship | 4 | Practical component, in the guide only | No TMA |
| Total | Ten courses | 40 | Four theory, six practical | Nine TMAs, two practicals |
Rows follow the prospectus order. The prospectus writes BLI 221 with a space; the booklets write BLI-221. Same course.
BLI-224 ICT Fundamentals and BLIE-229 ICT in Libraries each carry two assignments of 35 marks: a Tutor Marked Assignment written on paper, coded AST/TMA, and a practical assignment, coded AST/PRAC, done at the Study Centre. The 2025-26 BLIS booklet sets the BLI-224 practical in LibreOffice Writer, Impress and Calc, and the BLIE-229 practical in the Koha library system and the GSDL digital library software, with screen captures of every answer saved in one file for the Counsellor or Practical Supervisor to mark. The BLIS Programme Guide adds 15 hours of compulsory computer practical for each of the two courses and a separate computer-based practical examination. Only the AST/TMA half of BLI-224 and BLIE-229 can be handwritten, so the lab session is booked with the Study Centre on its own schedule.
The July 2026 Common Prospectus says six BLIS courses have a practical component and then names five: BLI-224, BLI-225, BLIE-227, BLIE-228 and BLIE-229. The BLIS Programme Guide of July 2022 prints the same sentence with a sixth code, BLII-230 Internship, which settles the count at six. The same guide’s counselling table, however, gives BLI-225 Communication Skills twenty theory hours and no practical hours, and the 2025-26 booklet sets BLI-225 an ordinary 70-mark TMA. For assignment purposes, BLI-225 is written exactly like a theory paper.
BLIS assignment codes begin with AST rather than with the course code, as in AST/TMA/ Jul.2025/Jan.2026. The 2025-26 BLIS booklet prints that string under seven of the nine papers, AST-1/TMA/ Jul.2025/Jan.2026 under BLI-225 Communication Skills, and AST/PRAC/ Jul.2025/Jan.2026 under the two practicals, while the course code sits in a separate Course Code field. One string serves both sessions because a single BLIS booklet covers July 2025 and January 2026 learners together. Spacing is not uniform even inside that booklet: BLI-221 prints Jul.2025 with no space after the slash. A BLIS front page carries the string exactly as the learner’s own booklet prints it.
Some codes look as though they belong on a BLIS record and do not.
| Codes | Where they belong | On a BLIS record? |
|---|---|---|
| BLI-11, BLII-12, BLII-13, BLII-14 | Certificate in Library and Information Science (CLIS), 16 credits | No |
| MLI-101, MLI-102, MLII-101 to MLII-105, MLIE-101 to MLIE-106 | Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) | No |
| BLI-221 to BLII-230 under BLISOL | The online-mode BLIS, same codes | Yes, if you enrolled online |

Eight BLIS Contradictions, Two of Them on This Website
- Six practicals, five names. The July 2026 prospectus says six BLIS courses have a practical component and lists five; the July 2022 Programme Guide adds BLII-230 as the sixth.
- A practical course with no practical hours. BLI-225 is on both practical lists, yet the guide’s counselling table gives it no practical hours and the booklet sets it a plain 70-mark TMA.
- 31 March or 30 March. The 2025-26 booklet’s date table prints 31 March 2026 for July 2025 learners; its worked example prints 30 March 2026. At least one admission-guide website repeats the 30 March figure.
- A worked example that names the wrong session. The same instruction says a learner who misses the date attempts the fresh set of a subsequent session, then illustrates it with the July 2025 set for a July 2025 learner.
- Dates from another school. Third-party BLIS pages give 30 April and 31 October, or a 31 May cut-off. No BLIS booklet from 2021-22 to 2025-26 prints any of those dates.
- A practical that is not there. One BLIS how-to blog names BLIE-228 among the practical papers. The 2025-26 booklet gives BLIE-228 no AST/PRAC assignment, and the guide gives it no separate practical examination.
- On this website, the old BLIS assignment page. The earlier BLIS assignment listing on this site still shows 15 March and 15 September 2019 as submission dates. It is queued for correction; the current dates are the ones above.
- On this website, the BLIS result page and two older claims. The BLIS result page asks for a 9-digit enrolment number, while recent IGNOU enrolment numbers run to ten digits, as Regional Centre Delhi-1’s December 2025 notice shows. The home page’s refund-backed acceptance line and the dispatch window on the MMPC-001 page are on the same correction list, and this page makes neither promise.
Where these sources disagree about your own paper, the booklet for your session and a written answer from your Study Centre count for more than any website, this one included.
How a BLIS Paper Moves From Your Code List to a Signed Foolscap Bundle
Five stages. You are needed at the first and the last.
- The codes are matched against the nine. A BLII-230, a CLIS code such as BLII-12 or an MLIS code on the list is raised with you before any payment, since none of them has a BLIS TMA.
- Your session selects the booklet. A learner on the July 2025 and January 2026 set is written from that booklet and its AST string. For July 2026 admissions the writing starts from the new booklet once IGNOU lists it, and the first reply says whether it has appeared.
- The foolscap is ruled to the instructions. A 3-inch left margin, four clear lines between answers, the question number beside each answer, and long answers planned near 500 words so a 10-mark question reads in proportion.
- The fair copy goes down in your matched hand. Blue or black ink, with the two header blocks laid out as the booklet shows and the front-page fields an IGNOU Study Centre checks filled in except the signature. The enrolment number in IGNOU’s own format goes in the top right block.
- The bundle is couriered and you finish it. You read every answer, sign, and follow the steps for handing a paper to the Study Centre coordinator. BLI-224 and BLIE-229 learners also book their practical slot.
Your Writing Sample, and Why Class Numbers Need One
Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge.
BLIS answers carry more figures than most. A DDC class number is a run of digits around a decimal point, and a MARC 21 entry is tag numbers and subfield codes. How you write a 0, a 7 or a decimal point is as recognisable as a signature, so a sample with a few numbers on it gives the writer far more to work from than a page of plain sentences.
Answering in Hindi? Send a page in Devanagari, since matras and the top line vary from writer to writer.
One page is enough, photographed straight down in daylight, in the pen you normally use.
Planning to write the nine BLIS papers yourself? If the evenings are there, that is the better route, and the free help on this site covers it: an illustrated method for writing an IGNOU assignment by hand, a front page you can print and fill, finished sample assignments to check spacing against, an explainer on how an IGNOU answer is structured, and the conditions for online and offline submission. Read them against the BLIS booklet, which asks for foolscap where those guides usually describe A4.

The first works out the rupees and the days to your next BLIS cut-off. The second says whether a code needs a handwritten TMA, a lab session, an internship report or nothing from you at all. Both run inside this page and send nothing you type anywhere.

Forward My BLIS Tool ResultGetting the BLIS Booklet: One File for Nine Courses, in English or Hindi
Open IGNOU’s BLIS assignment index and take the row for your session. One booklet holds all nine TMAs and both practicals.
- Start from IGNOU, not a mirror. The BLIS assignment index on webservices.ignou.ac.in lists one row per session, each with an English and a Hindi file. Per-course copies with names such as BLI-224-E-July-25-Jan-26 also appear through the assignment download search on ignou.ac.in.
- Pick the session row, then the language. July and January learners of the same academic year share one row. Choose Hindi only if you will answer in Hindi.
- Read page two before any question. The two submission dates sit there, and the instructions on pages four and five set the foolscap, margin and header rules.
- Check the newest row against your slip. On 7 November 2026 the newest row was July 2025 to January 2026. A July 2026 learner waits for the next row rather than answering an expired set.
If the booklet for your session is still missing as the cut-off nears, IGNOU takes the complaint through the iGRAM grievance portal, with a screenshot of the index attached. The course material is free: the IGNOU study blocks for download, eGyanKosh, where the BLI and BLIE blocks are posted, and the Gyankosh route when the first is slow.
After the Coordinator Signs for It: Status, Marks and the BLIS Grade Card
Get a receipt, check the status online after some weeks, then look for the marks on the grade card. BLIS booklets say the coordinator returns each evaluated assignment with the evaluator’s global comments, and that returned copy shows what the marks rest on.
A blank status for a few weeks is ordinary. A blank status across a whole cycle is when the receipt matters.
The assignment status check by enrolment number shows whether a BLI or BLIE code was received, and a separate note explains what each marks-status entry means. Assignment marks appear in the assignment column of the grade card, and the BLIS result page covers the term-end side. For a bachelor’s record there is the bachelor’s degree grade card lookup, read with a guide to the BDP grade card layout; the grade card status by programme fills in course by course until the final grade card for the BLIS year lists all ten codes. Grades convert with the IGNOU percentage converter and the CGPA calculator.
Practical Slots, the Internship and Exam Practice Around a BLIS Order
The 70 per cent is still written in an examination hall, and BLI-224 and BLIE-229 add a computer-based practical examination. The December 2026 date sheet gives each BLI and BLIE paper its day. Practice comes from guess papers for the term-end examination, solved term-end question papers and earlier BLIS question papers; the BLI-221 term-end paper, for one, is also set out of 70. For revision there are condensed study notes, help books arranged by course code, printed guide books and the publisher’s own IGNOU books.
BLII-230 is assessed through the internship and its report rather than a TMA, and that report is covered in the BLII-230 internship report guide, while longer project and synopsis work has its own pages under project report support, synopsis and proposal formats and project and synopsis charges.
A BLIS graduate going on to the master’s degree will find the MLIS handwritten assignment page, written for the next programme of the same Faculty.
English Programme, Hindi Answers, and a Booklet Not Yet Listed
BLIS is taught in English only, but IGNOU lets BLIS learners write their assignments and term-end examinations in Hindi, according to section 6.4 and the programme list of the July 2026 Common Prospectus. IGNOU prints a Hindi BLIS booklet alongside the English one each year: the BLIS index lists both for every session from July 2021 to July 2025, and the 2025-26 Hindi BLI-221 booklet prints the same 31 March 2026 and 30 September 2026 dates as the English file. A BLIS learner who answers in Hindi writes from the Hindi booklet for the same session.
The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. For Devanagari layout on a foolscap sheet, see the guide to presenting a Hindi-medium assignment.
The newest BLIS booklet on IGNOU’s assignment index, checked on 7 November 2026, is the one for July 2025 and January 2026. No July 2026 and January 2027 BLIS file was listed, although MLIS booklets for those sessions, from the same Faculty of Library and Information Science, were already on ignou.ac.in with 31 March 2027 and 30 September 2027 printed. A July 2026 BLIS learner therefore has no current question paper to answer yet, and any service claiming to sell a 2026-27 BLIS set before IGNOU lists the booklet is working from something other than the booklet.
Older sessions follow the booklet’s one-year validity rule: a set that has expired is replaced by the fresh set for a later session, not answered late. A learner returning after a gap usually completes re-registration for the next session first, or readmission once the enrolment has lapsed, since BLIS allows two years in all and the guide then asks for fresh registration.
On names: BLIS is the programme code of the Bachelor of Library and Information Science, which booksellers sometimes label B.Lib; BLI and BLIE are the course prefixes on its nine assignment papers, BLII-230 is the internship, and BLISOL is the same programme in online mode.
BLIS Orders Run on WhatsApp: The Four Facts a First Message Needs
- You write to +91 93546 37830 once. Include the four facts below and a photo of your handwriting.
- The reply gives one total. ₹320 times your codes, and whether courier reaches your pin code. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate.
- You pay, and the foolscap set is couriered. Reading every answer, signing the cover and handing the bundle to the coordinator stay with you, because only you can sign it.
The four facts:
- Each BLI or BLIE code exactly as your admission record shows it, including BLI-224 or BLIE-229 when only the TMA half of either is wanted.
- Your admission session, July or January, with the year.
- Your answer language, English or Hindi.
- A delivery address with its pin code.
No soft copy or PDF is sold. A Regional Centre that wants an upload gets a scan you make from the signed paper set. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.
The Documents Behind This BLIS Page, and What They Left Unsettled
From the July 2026 Common Prospectus: the ten BLIS codes, titles and credits and the 40-credit total in section 6.4, the practical-component sentence, the English medium with Hindi answers permitted, the programme-list row giving one year minimum and two years maximum with a year-wise examination, the CLIS codes in section 11.1, and the typed-assignment provision for learners with disability in section 14.7. The site has a plain reader’s guide to the Common Prospectus.
From IGNOU’s own files, read on 7 November 2026: the English BLIS booklet for July 2025 and January 2026, read in full; the separate BLI-224 copy of the same booklet, read in full for its practical instructions; the Hindi BLI-221 booklet for the same sessions; the BLIS Programme Guide revised in July 2022; the BLIS assignment index on webservices.ignou.ac.in; and, through search results, the 2024-25 and 2022-23 BLIS booklets and the MLIS 2026-27 booklets. Dates, marks, word ceilings, paper rules, header fields and AST strings come from these.
Set by the publisher, not by IGNOU: ₹320 for each paper with the courier inside it, paper copies only, every medium and session, handwriting matching without a fee, no minimum, and a delivery estimate per pin code rather than a promised date.
What this research could not settle. No July 2026 BLIS booklet was listed, so the 2027 dates are a pattern. The Hindi booklet is set in a legacy Devanagari font, so its assignment code line could not be read reliably, and the part read did not state a paper size. The 31 October 2026 extension came from a Careers360 report rather than an IGNOU notice opened for this page. The internship procedure for BLII-230 was not opened. Whether a particular Study Centre now accepts A4 instead of foolscap is a local decision that no document read here settles.

What BLIS Learners Ask Before Writing or Ordering
What is the last date to submit IGNOU BLIS assignments?
31 March for July-session learners and 30 September for January-session learners, on every BLIS booklet from 2021-22 to 2025-26. For July 2026 admissions that means 31 March 2027, although IGNOU had not listed the 2026-27 BLIS booklet by 7 November 2026. The December 2026 window, extended to 31 October 2026, has closed.
Can a BLIS assignment be typed or computer printed?
No. The 2025-26 BLIS booklet says typed and computer print assignments are not permissible, and the July 2026 Common Prospectus allows typed work only to learners with a valid disability certificate.
Is a BLIS solved assignment the same thing as a handwritten one?
No. A solved assignment is a reference file of model answers that you read; a handwritten assignment is the BLIS booklet answered in ink on foolscap, signed and handed to the Study Centre coordinator. Only the handwritten one is marked.
Can I print a BLI or BLIE solved PDF and submit it?
No. A printout is computer-printed work without your handwriting or signature, which the BLIS booklet rules out. Use the file to plan, then write the answers on foolscap yourself or have them handwritten.
How many assignments does a BLIS learner have to submit?
Nine TMAs, one for each of BLI-221 to BLI-225 and BLIE-226 to BLIE-229, plus the two practical assignments of BLI-224 and BLIE-229, which are done at the Study Centre. BLII-230 Internship has no TMA.
How are the BLI-224 and BLIE-229 practicals done?
At the Study Centre, on a computer, with screen captures of every answer saved in one file for the Counsellor or Practical Supervisor. The 2025-26 booklet sets LibreOffice tasks for BLI-224 and Koha and GSDL tasks for BLIE-229, each worth 35 marks, and they cannot be handwritten or ordered.
Does BLII-230 Internship have an assignment to write?
No. BLII-230 carries 4 credits and is assessed through the internship and its report under IGNOU’s internship procedure, so there is no TMA booklet for it.
Which paper does the BLIS booklet ask for, foolscap or A4?
Foolscap. Instruction 8 of the 2025-26 BLIS booklet asks for foolscap-size ordinary writing paper, with a 3-inch left margin and at least four lines between answers. Use A4 only if your Study Centre tells you to in writing.
What goes at the top of the first page of a BLIS assignment?
Two blocks. Top right: enrolment number, name, full address and date of dispatch. Top left: programme title and code, course title and code, assignment number, and the Study Centre’s code and name. The booklet asks for this layout strictly.
How many marks is a BLIS assignment out of?
70 for seven of the nine papers and 35 for the TMAs of BLI-224 and BLIE-229, whose other 35 marks come from the practical. A theory TMA has four 10-mark and six 5-mark questions, all compulsory.
Can BLIS assignments be written in Hindi?
Yes. BLIS is taught in English, but the July 2026 Common Prospectus allows assignments and the term-end examination in Hindi, and IGNOU prints a Hindi BLIS booklet each year with the same dates as the English one.
Has IGNOU released the BLIS assignment for July 2026?
Not as of 7 November 2026. The newest row on IGNOU’s BLIS index was July 2025 and January 2026, even though MLIS booklets for July 2026 had appeared. Check the index again before writing.
I missed my BLIS deadline. Which assignment do I write now?
The fresh set for a later session, not the expired one. The BLIS booklet makes each assignment valid for one year, so a missed set is replaced by the next booklet for your admission cycle; re-register first if your enrolment needs it.
How do I check whether my BLIS assignment was received?
On IGNOU’s assignment status page, by enrolment number, once some weeks have passed since the coordinator took the paper. Hold on to the receipt until the marks reach your grade card.
How much does an IGNOU BLIS handwritten assignment cost?
The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. Three papers cost ₹960 and all nine cost ₹2,880, whether you answer in English or Hindi.
How long does a BLIS set take to reach me?
Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page, so ask on the first message if your cut-off is close.
Can the BLIS set be written in my own handwriting?
It is written to match the photo you send, at no extra charge. A page that includes some numbers, such as a class number or a date, gives the closest match.
What should be checked before paying any handwritten assignment service?
Five things, whoever the provider is: that the answers come from the booklet for your own session and language; that the price per subject and any postage are stated before payment; that no marks or acceptance are promised; that no delivery date is promised before your pin code is known; and that the declaration is left for you to sign after reading.
