Two PDF files carry all twenty-one MAEVS question papers, and inside those two files the assignment code is printed four different ways. A handwritten MAEVS set is written against the exact code line your own booklet prints, and reaches you as ink on A4.
- 80 credits, 19 registered courses
- 22 codes printed in the table
- Two booklets, four semesters
- Four assignment code formats
- English medium only
- Paper valid to December 2026
Send the codes exactly as your registration confirmation spells them, the semester each one sits in, whether your booklet cover says First Year or Second Year, and your delivery 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 to the Coordinator of your allotted Study Centre, and for MAEVS, the 80-credit Master of Arts (Environmental Studies) run by the School of Interdisciplinary and Trans-disciplinary Studies across four semesters in which twenty-two course codes are printed under six prefixes (MEV, MEVE, MSD, MED, MEDS and MEVP), nineteen are actually registered, eighteen carry a question paper and MEVP 012 Project Work 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 for MAEVS is the English paper, because 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; each MAEVS paper is worth 100 marks but the marking pattern is not uniform, running from answer any five of eight at twenty marks each on the MEV and MEVE papers to answer all four at twenty-five on the two MSD papers, and orders go to WhatsApp +91 93546 37830 with your codes, your semester and the year printed on your booklet cover.
Two Files Cover Four Semesters, And Neither Names A Last Date
Four MAEVS booklets were opened for this page, and the calendar information on all four is the same single bracketed line.
Valid to December 2026
Both current files are headed January 2025 to July 2026 Sessions with Valid from Jan 2025 to December 2026 beneath it. That bracket is the only date IGNOU commits to on a MAEVS paper, and it marks when the questions stop being the right questions, not when your bundle is due.
Any submission date at all
The booklet says only that submission must happen within the stipulated time to keep you eligible for the term-end examination. It never stipulates. The 31 March and 30 September pair circulating on study-help sites appears nowhere in a MAEVS file, so it is not quoted here as this programme’s cut-off.
Two different questions are hiding behind one word. Is my paper still current? is answered by the validity bracket on your own cover. By when must the pages reach the counter? is answered only by your Regional Centre, and IGNOU has moved that figure inside a single cycle more than once, most recently extending a June cut-off well past the month it was named for. A MAEVS set written in October 2026 against the current file is still on syllabus; whether it is still on time is a separate matter, and only your centre can settle it. Confirm the operative figure on ignou.ac.in and with your Regional Centre before you plan any writing. Nothing on this page carries an artificial deadline; the expiry above is IGNOU’s, printed on IGNOU’s own cover.
Eighteen Papers, A Third Of Every Result, And Five Marking Patterns
Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent. On MAEVS that share is collected eighteen times, once for every registered course except MEVP 012 Project Work, which has no question paper behind it in either published file.
What is unusual about MAEVS is that those eighteen papers are not marked alike. Twenty-one question papers sit across the two booklets, and reading them side by side produces five separate marking regimes rather than one house style. Fifteen papers print 5×20=100, list eight questions and tell you to answer any five. MEV 024 and MEV 025 print the same 5×20=100 line but only six questions, so the choice is five of six rather than five of eight. MSD 019 and MSD 023 print 4×25=100 and instruct you to answer every question, which removes choice entirely and raises each answer to twenty-five marks. MEDS 42 prints 5×20=100 with five questions and the words answer all. MED 003 breaks the pattern completely: nine questions, eight of them at ten marks and a ninth splitting into four short notes at five marks each.
That matters at the desk rather than in theory. A learner who has spent a semester answering five of eight opens the MSD 019 paper expecting to skip three questions and finds there is nothing to skip. A learner who plans an evening around four answers on MED 003 finds nine. Before you begin any MAEVS paper, read the two lines above question one, because on this programme they change from file to file.
MED 003 is also the only MAEVS paper that answers a contradiction the booklets carry. Instruction (d) in both files tells you to make sure your answer does not exceed the number of words indicated in the question. Across all twenty-one papers, exactly one indicates any: MED 003 asks for roughly 250 words on a five-mark question and no more than 500 on a ten-mark one. Everywhere else the instruction points at a limit that was never printed, and a twenty-mark environmental studies answer is instead written to the depth the question actually demands. A question asking you to explain the causes of land degradation and then the strategies for ecosystem restoration is two demands in one line and will not close in three paragraphs.
These marks are lost at home rather than in the hall, which is what makes them expensive. Once your Study Centre transmits the figure it attaches to that course code for good, and the assignment status and result checker traces where it goes next.
A Downloaded Answer Key Is Not The Bundle Your Centre Takes
Two things are asked for in almost identical words on WhatsApp and only one of them can cross a Study Centre counter, so each is defined here before either is compared.
A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file: model answers written against one course code’s questions for one session span, supplied as a PDF and used as reading material while you prepare. A handwritten assignment is the physical object the university collects, meaning those answers set down by hand across A4 sheets, tied together per course code, and given to the Coordinator of your allotted Study Centre. The first is preparation. The second is the submission. Printing a downloaded file does not convert it into either, and the MAEVS booklet settles the point in its own instruction list, where note 3 states that you should write the answer in your own handwriting.
On MAEVS the distance between the two widens because of what the papers ask. MEV 019 wants Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, Type-I and Type-II error and the properties of regression coefficients set out. MED 003 wants the working of a biogas plant drawn as a neat diagram. MEV 016 wants the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 alongside the EIA Notification 2006. Those are answers with statistics, drawings and named statutes inside them, and transcribing one off a screen without following the argument produces a legible bundle that still reads as unlearned.
| Solved file for a MEV or MEVE code | Handwritten MAEVS bundle | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | A PDF you open on a phone or laptop | Tied A4 sheets arriving by courier |
| What you do with it | Read it while you draft your own answers | Sign the cover sheet and hand it in |
| Who it suits | A learner short of understanding | A learner short of writing weeks |
| Handwriting | Not applicable | Matched from a photo of your own hand |
| Rate | Covered on a different page, not this one | ₹320 per subject, courier included |
Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen to reach the handwritten column.
If the reference file is what you actually came for, it sits in the library of IGNOU solved assignments indexed by programme and course code, and it works best read beside the blocks rather than copied out of. Nothing on this page replaces either the blocks or your own reading.
What ₹320 Covers On A MAEVS Paper, And What It Refuses To
Twelve plain statements, set down before any code list arrives. The first six describe where a MAEVS submission usually goes wrong. The last six are limits this page will not soften for anybody.
One rate across six prefixes. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. A MEV legislation paper, an MSD sustainability paper and the MEDS urban planning paper are priced identically, even though the first offers a choice of eight questions and the second offers none.
One of your codes carries no paper. MEVP 012 Project Work is six credits of supervised research and neither MAEVS booklet publishes a Tutor Marked Assignment for it. It is named and removed from any quote rather than billed quietly, so a list of nineteen comes back priced as eighteen.
Padding is resolved, not rejected. Your prospectus prints MEDS 042. IGNOU’s own booklet prints MEDS-42. Your registration confirmation may print either. Whichever spelling you send is matched to the paper instead of being bounced back as an unknown code.
Ordered by code, not by semester. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. Two MAEVS learners in the same third semester share MEV 019 and MEVE 014 and can differ on all three of their electives, so the unit of ordering is the code on your record.
The instruction line is read before the questions are. Whether your paper allows a choice of five from eight, five from six, or no choice at all, decides how the bundle is planned. That line is checked against your own file rather than assumed from the paper before it.
The year on your cover picks the questions. MAEVS papers change under an unchanged course code between spans, so First Year or Second Year plus the session heading on your own cover is used to select the question set, not whatever the portal is serving on the day.
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. Eighteen bundles reaching one counter across four semesters is a long time for a hand to change halfway.
Whatever medium IGNOU issues. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. For MAEVS the prospectus records instruction as English and both live booklets are English, so in practice that clause resolves to a single paper.
A 2023 elective is routine work. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. A MEVE 016 left behind while you moved into the third semester is answered against the questions its own span printed.
Paper only, never a file. No soft copy or PDF is sold. If your Regional Centre asks for an upload, you scan the delivered hard copy yourself, which keeps the original ink in your hands until the counter stamps a receipt.
Nothing is promised about evaluation. 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.
No courier figure, and the signature stays yours. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page. You sign the declaration on the assignment cover page, so you should read and review the content before submitting it, and satisfy yourself that it represents your own understanding of the course.
Send The Whole List And Let The Reply Do The Sorting
Paste your codes as they appear on your registration confirmation. The reply names which of them carry a live question paper, prices only those, flags MEVP 012 rather than charging for it, and gives your pin code position before any money moves.
Price My MEV And MEVE List At ₹320 EachTwenty-Two Codes Print, Nineteen Register, Eighty Credits Total
MAEVS is the programme code on your admission record and in the Common Prospectus. The course codes beneath it come from six different prefixes rather than one: MEV and MEVE on the environmental science and elective papers, MSD on the two sustainable development papers, MED on the energy elective, MEDS on the urban planning paper in the fourth semester, and MEVP on the project. Six prefixes, one degree, and a code list that looks longer than it is because the third semester prints six electives from which you take three.
Section 3.42 of the IGNOU Common Prospectus for July 2026 places MAEVS in the School of Interdisciplinary and Trans-disciplinary Studies, records the medium of instruction as English, sets a two-year minimum against a four-year maximum, and lists the mode of examination as semester-wise across the January and July admission cycles. The credit columns below were added rather than trusted: twenty in the first semester, twenty in the second, twenty in the third once three electives are counted, and twenty in the fourth reaches the eighty the prospectus states. Counting every printed row instead, including all six third-semester electives, gives ninety-two, which is the arithmetic that tells you the elective block is a choice and not a list.
First Year, Semesters I And II: Ten Compulsory Papers
| Code | Official title | Credits | Sem | Marking pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEV 011 | Fundamentals of Environmental Science and Ecology | 4 | I | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEVE 019 | Environmental Issues | 4 | I | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEV 015 | Environmental Pollution, Control and Management | 4 | I | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEVE 017 | Environment and Society | 4 | I | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MSD 019 | Global Strategies to Sustainable Development | 4 | I | All four, 4×25 |
| MEV 016 | Environmental Impact Assessment | 4 | II | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEVE 011 | Global Climate Change | 4 | II | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEV 017 | Environmental Legislations | 4 | II | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEVE 016 | Urban Environment | 4 | II | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEV 014 | Sustainable Natural Resource Management | 4 | II | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen to reach the marking column.
Forty credits, ten papers, and every one of them published inside a single PDF headed First Year. That packaging is worth knowing before you download, because a learner short of only MEVE 016 opens the same file as a learner short of all ten. These same ten courses at these same forty credits are also the whole of the Post Graduate Diploma in Environmental Studies (PGDEVS) at section 8.41 of the prospectus, which is the exit award a MAEVS learner qualifies for after the first year.
Second Year, Semester III: Two Compulsory Papers And Three Electives From Six
| Code | Official title | Credits | Status | Marking pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEV 019 | Research Methodology for Environmental Science | 4 | Compulsory | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEVE 014 | Biodiversity Conservation and Management | 4 | Compulsory | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEV 024 | Climate Change Assessment Tools | 4 | Choose three | Any five of six, 5×20 |
| MEV 002 | Environmental and Occupational Hazards | 4 | Choose three | Any five of seven, 5×20 |
| MEV 025 | Climate Change and Society | 4 | Choose three | Any five of six, 5×20 |
| MSD 023 | Social Ecology, Globalisation and Sustainability | 4 | Choose three | All four, 4×25 |
| MEV 018 | Environmental Health and Ecotoxicology | 4 | Choose three | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MED 003 | Energy and Environment | 4 | Choose three | All nine, 8×10 plus 4×5 |
Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen to reach the marking column.
Eight codes are printed and five are registered. Choosing MSD 023 or MED 003 rather than MEV 018 changes not only your subject but your entire evening: one gives you four compulsory twenty-five mark essays, another gives you nine compulsory answers with printed word limits, and the third gives you a choice of five from eight. That is a real planning difference and it is invisible until the file is open.
Second Year, Semester IV: Four Papers And The Project With No TMA
| Code | Official title | Credits | TMA | Marking pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEVE 012 | Environmental Management | 4 | Published | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEVE 015 | Disaster Management | 4 | Published | Any five of eight, 5×20 |
| MEDS 042 | Issues and Challenges in Urban Planning and Development | 6 | Published as MEDS-42 | All five, 5×20 |
| MEVP 012 | Project Work | 6 | None published | Not applicable |
Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen to reach the marking column.
Two rows in this table are the odd ones on the whole degree. MEDS 042 carries six credits where every other taught MAEVS course carries four, and it is the only course drawn from the MEDS stable, where the other courses in the prospectus run at eight credits apiece. MEVP 012 also carries six, where the equivalent project in the sister M.Sc. (Environmental Science) is eight. The project is covered separately on the MEVP-012 project guide with topics, synopsis and submission steps, and it is never quoted at the ₹320 assignment rate, because there is no question paper behind it to answer.
Conflicts Found By Reading IGNOU’s Own MAEVS Documents Against Each Other
- The prospectus titles MEVE 017 one way and IGNOU’s own booklet titles it another. Section 3.42, the MAEVS table, prints MEVE 017 as Environmental and Society. Section 8.41 (PGDEVS) and section 8.40 print the identical code as Environment and Society, and the live First Year MAEVS booklet heads the paper ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY. Three sources against one, so the MAEVS table carries the typing slip. Third-party syllabus listings have already copied the wrong version, which is how a title error spreads.
- The same document corrupts a MEV 019 title elsewhere. The MAEVS table prints MEV 019 correctly as Research Methodology for Environmental Science. Section 3.45, the M.Sc. Climate Change table in the same prospectus, prints the identical code as Research Methodology for Environrriental Science. It is a character-level corruption rather than a second course.
- One code is padded two ways by IGNOU inside two IGNOU documents. The prospectus prints MEDS 042. The live Second Year booklet heads the paper MEDS-42 and prints its assignment code as MEDS-42/TMA-01. Every other MAEVS code is three digits in both places. Search both spellings before deciding a paper has not been published.
- The assignment code is printed four different ways inside two files. Seventeen papers use the form CODE/TMA-01/January 2025 to July 2026 session. MSD 019 and MSD 023 print a double slash, as MSD-019//TMA-01, in both the First Year and Second Year files, so it is a prefix-linked defect rather than one typo. MEV 024 prints only MEV-024/TMA with no serial and no session. MEV 025 prints MEV-025/TMA/ with a trailing slash and nothing after it. Copy whichever form your own paper prints onto your cover sheet.
- The booklets ask you to respect a word limit that almost none of them print. Instruction (d) in both files tells you not to exceed the number of words indicated in the question. Of twenty-one papers, only MED 003 indicates any. Twenty papers point at a limit that does not exist.
- The examination is semester-wise and the assignments are not. The prospectus records the MAEVS mode of examination as semester-wise. IGNOU publishes the assignments in two year-bundled files, First Year and Second Year, while the sister M.Sc. (Environmental Science) on the same portal gets separate semester booklets. A fourth-semester MAEVS learner downloads a file that also contains the whole of semester three.
- MEV 011 is the same paper for two different programmes under the same assignment code. The MAEVS First Year booklet and the M.Sc. (Environmental Science) First Semester booklet both print MEV-011 with the same eight questions and the same assignment code, MEV-011/TMA-01/January 2025 to July 2026 session. Only the programme code you write on the cover sheet distinguishes them, so write MAEVS on it deliberately.
- MAEVS codes are shared across at least seven other programmes. MEV 002, MEV 014, MEVE 011 and MEVE 015 also appear in MA (Environmental and Occupational Health); MEV 017, MEV 019, MEV 024, MEV 025, MSD 019, MEVE 014 and MEVE 019 appear in M.Sc. (Climate Change); further codes appear in M.Sc. (Renewable Energy and Environment), PGDEVS, PGDWAM, PGDEML and PGDINDS. Name the programme on every download and every order.
- On this website, pending correction. The general handwritten assignment guide carries a quick-facts table whose weightage row describes three compulsory assignments split into Section A, B and C. That is the DECE pattern, printed as though it were the universal rule. No MAEVS paper is built that way: MAEVS sets one Tutor Marked Assignment per course at 100 marks with no sectional split and no practical component. The row is logged for correction and, where it disagrees with this page on MAEVS, this page governs.
- Also on this website, pending correction. The homepage still carries an acceptance-and-refund guarantee, the MMPC-001 course page still promises dispatch within a fixed number of working days, and the MEG assignment page still offers a Hindi paper for a programme IGNOU publishes in English only. None of the three is repeated here and all three are queued for removal.
Where a study-help page and your registration confirmation disagree about a MAEVS code, the confirmation wins, and that instruction includes disagreements with this page. 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 behind these tables is indexed on the IGNOU prospectus archive.
From A Code On Your Record To A Tied Bundle At Your Door
Five stages stand between the message you send and the parcel that arrives. The second exists only because MAEVS prints its assignment codes four different ways, and the wrong string on a cover sheet is the cheapest mistake to avoid.
- Your list is checked against the twenty-two published codes. Whatever prefix and padding you send is matched to a paper, MEVP 012 is set aside with a note rather than priced, and what comes back is a count of answerable papers instead of a count of the codes you typed.
- The exact assignment code string is lifted off your own file. Not reconstructed from a pattern. If your paper prints MEV-025/TMA/ with a trailing slash, that is what goes on the sheet, because an evaluator matching a bundle to a paper matches the string in front of them.
- The instruction line decides how many answers get written. Five of eight, five of six, five of seven, all four at twenty-five, all five, or all nine with word limits. The count is read from your paper before a single answer is planned, which is how a MSD bundle avoids arriving three answers short.
- Every answer is built from the MAEVS blocks. A question on the Bishnoi and Chipko movements, on the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, or on Milankovitch oscillations is answered from the programme’s own units, because your counsellor is marking against those units. IGNOU publishes them free: open them through eGyanKosh, or through the alternate Gyankosh route when that repository is slow, with the wider catalogue indexed at IGNOU books download.
- A4 in blue or black, tied per code, cover sheet left blank for you. Blue or black on one side of the paper only, evaluator colours left alone, headings underlined a single time, a wide channel down the left edge, sequential page numbers, and any diagram drawn by hand rather than printed and glued on. Each code travels as its own bundle with the ten-field sheet on top: the cover page walkthrough and the blank front page format PDF show that layout in advance, and the MAEVS booklet asks for name, enrolment number, cycle of admission, programme code, assignment code, course code, course title, address, contact number and date of submission.
Holding One Hand Across Eighteen Environmental Studies Bundles
Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. A single sheet of ordinary writing, photographed square-on in daylight, carries enough of your slope, letter height and habitual joins to run through a whole course of answers.
On MAEVS the case for it is arithmetic rather than aesthetic. Eighteen bundles reach one Study Centre against one enrolment number over a registration that may run four years, and the project keeps that file open past the taught courses. A fourth-semester disaster management bundle sitting beside a first-semester ecology bundle in a visibly different hand is a discrepancy nobody needed to create. The photograph is used for the order it belongs to and discarded with it.
Writing The MAEVS Set Yourself Is The Better Outcome, And The Method Costs Nothing
The full sequence is laid out in the step-by-step guide to writing an IGNOU handwritten assignment. Margins, numbering and binding are covered in the assignment format and structure rules, a completed sample IGNOU assignment shows the depth a twenty-mark answer actually reaches, the comparison of online and offline submission covers what happens once the bundles are tied, and learners writing a cognate programme in Devanagari will want the notes on writing IGNOU assignments in Hindi. This page exists for learners short of weeks, not learners short of ecology.
Two Free Tools: A Subject Tally And An Assignment Code Decoder
Both utilities run inside your browser, contact nothing and store nothing. The first exists because MAEVS marking patterns differ enough that a paper count alone does not tell you how much writing is ahead. The second exists because the assignment code line is the single field most often copied wrongly onto a MAEVS cover sheet, and on this programme there are four correct answers depending on your course.
MAEVS Subject Tally And Answer Load Estimator
Pick a stage or type how many MAEVS papers you are short of, then add the cut-off your Regional Centre has confirmed if you have one. The tally returns the cost at ₹320 each, the number of separate answers those papers require using the real per-paper counts rather than a flat five, a longhand estimate, the days remaining to the December 2026 validity expiry printed on your booklet, and the days to your centre’s date where you supply one.
Every option excludes MEVP 012 Project Work, because neither MAEVS booklet publishes a Tutor Marked Assignment for it.
A whole number from 1 to 18. Eighteen is the most a MAEVS record can carry. Choosing a stage above fills this in for you.
Optional. Since no MAEVS file names a due date, use whatever figure your own centre has issued. Left empty, the box counts only the December 2026 booklet expiry.
Choose a stage or type a paper count, then select Work Out The Answer Load.
This tool is guidance from ignouproject.com, not an IGNOU rule. Using it creates no obligation to order anything. Answer counts follow the instruction line printed on each live MAEVS paper; the longhand figure is a planning estimate only, and the December 2026 figure is the validity expiry from the booklet cover rather than a submission deadline.
MAEVS Assignment Code And Booklet Decoder
Type any MAEVS course code in any spelling IGNOU uses. The decoder returns the official title, the credits, the semester, whether the course is compulsory or one of the six third-semester electives, which of the two booklets publishes it, the exact assignment code string that paper prints including its punctuation, and the marking pattern you will meet when you open it.
Spaces and hyphens are ignored, and both paddings resolve, so MEDS 042, MEDS-42 and meds42 all reach the same paper. Read the code off your registration confirmation.
Type a code such as MSD 023 or MEVE 015, then select Decode This MAEVS Code.
This tool is guidance from ignouproject.com, not an IGNOU rule. Using it creates no obligation to order anything. Titles and credits follow the July 2026 Common Prospectus and the code strings follow the live January 2025 to July 2026 booklets, and both should still be checked against the paper in your own hand.
Keep The Papers You Want To Write, And Hand Over The Rest
One code or fourteen, current span or an older one. The courses you want to work through yourself stay yours. Send the list, the semester, the year printed on your booklet cover, and one photograph of your own handwriting.
Hand Over Part Of My MAEVS SetWhere The MAEVS First Year And Second Year Files Actually Sit
Every MAEVS question paper is free from the university and should be taken from the university, whoever ends up writing the pages. Four steps, and the third is the one that costs MAEVS learners time.
- Start at IGNOU’s own download service. Open the IGNOU assignment download service or go straight to the assignment portal, choose the Master’s Degree listing, then MAEVS. Do not type a file address from memory; the same booklet exists under two different filename conventions on two IGNOU hosts, and one of them names the whole First Year file after a single course code.
- Expect two links, not four. The MAEVS programme index publishes one First Year file and one Second Year file. The First Year file holds all ten semester I and II papers. The Second Year file holds both semester III and semester IV, including all six third-semester electives, so eleven assignments sit inside one PDF.
- Read the bracketed line under the session heading. The cover states the session span and then, underneath it, the date the paper stops being valid. That second line, not the first, tells you whether the questions in your hand are still the questions IGNOU will mark.
- If a code will not resolve, try the other padding. MEDS 042 and MEDS-42 do not return the same results, and the archived term-end papers repeat the split across MEV, MEVE and MED codes as well. Try both spellings before concluding your paper has not been published.
With the questions in front of you, the archive of solved question papers and the previous year paper collection show how differently the same MAEVS syllabus gets examined in a three-hour hall, where nobody offers you a choice of five from eight.
What Happens To A MEV Mark After The Counter Stamps It
The counter is a checkpoint, not a finish line. Take a receipt, and keep a photocopy or a photograph of every page before the bundle leaves your hands; the MAEVS booklet asks for exactly that, in writing, in case what you submitted is lost in transit.
From there the number travels in three stages: your Study Centre records receipt, the counsellor’s award goes up to the Student Evaluation Division, and only then does a figure attach itself to that 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 of those lookups opens by asking for the identifier explained on the enrolment number lookup page, and the counter itself is covered by the submission walkthrough and the general assignment hub.
A MAEVS course showing incomplete after a submission usually has a cause outside the assignment. The outstanding component is often MEVP 012 waiting on a supervisor, or a first-year code sitting under the PGDEVS exit award rather than the MA. When both halves of a taught course are visible, the percentage calculator and the CGPA calculator convert them, and a disputed term-end figure goes through the revaluation route, which reaches the examination script and never the assignment. Wider timing sits on the IGNOU result page, the June 2026 result tracker and the postgraduate result page.
What Else Arrives On This Number From A MAEVS Enrolment
An assignment order is rarely the only line in a message from an environmental studies learner. These are the other requests, each with its own page.
- The seventy per cent an assignment cannot reach. The term-end script carries the larger share, so the guess paper collection and the unit-wise study notes repay attention faster than any bundle does, with the help book range, the online guide books and the study material index compressing the environment blocks into something revisable.
- MEVP 012, which is a different order entirely. Six credits of supervised research written up as a project runs through the synopsis and proposal service and the project and dissertation service, with layout on the project report format guide, general rules on the IGNOU project guidelines page and pricing on the list of services and charges rather than at the ₹320 assignment rate.
- Neighbouring environment programmes whose codes cross into this one. Learners move between MAEVS and M.Sc. (Environmental Science), whose MSCENV handwritten assignment page covers the four semester booklets and the MEVL laboratory codes, and MA (Environmental and Occupational Health), whose MAENOH handwritten assignment page covers the MGSE, MGY, MIS and MPA codes that sit alongside MEV. All three run out of the same school and share taught codes, which is exactly why a programme code belongs on every download and every order.
Medium, session, and the point at which a MAEVS paper stops counting. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. For MAEVS the July 2026 Common Prospectus records the medium of instruction as English and both live booklets are English, so that clause resolves to one paper rather than a choice, and any offer of a Hindi MAEVS assignment should be treated with suspicion. On sessions: a MAEVS paper is answerable only until the expiry printed under its own session heading, which on the current pair of files is December 2026, after which the questions are replaced under unchanged course codes. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject; name the year from your cover and the answers are written against the questions belonging to it.
The Four Things That Go In Your First 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 closed when the courier hands the parcel across. It is finished when a stamped receipt from your Study Centre is in your hand.
- One message carrying four items. The MEV, MEVE, MSD, MED or MEDS codes exactly as your registration confirmation spells them; the semester each one belongs to; whether your booklet cover reads First Year or Second Year, with its session heading; and your delivery pin code. A photograph of a page in your own handwriting can follow in the same thread.
- A reply carrying two numbers. The count of codes that carry a live paper, priced at ₹320 each with MEVP 012 removed and named if it was in your list, and where your pin code stands for delivery. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay.
- Bundles arrive, you fill the sheet, the counter records it. Every code reaches you as a separate tied bundle, its ten-field sheet sitting on top and deliberately unfilled. The enrolment block and the signature line under it stay empty on purpose. That declaration is a statement about whose understanding the pages represent, and it is not one anybody else is entitled to make on your behalf.
Which Document Each Statement On This Page Came From
From the IGNOU Common Prospectus, July 2026. Section 3.42 supplied the School of Interdisciplinary and Trans-disciplinary Studies placement, the English medium of instruction, the two-year minimum against a four-year maximum, the semester-wise mode of examination across the January and July cycles, all twenty-two course codes with their official titles and credits, the choose-three instruction on the third-semester elective block, and the stated total of 80 credits. That total was confirmed by addition rather than accepted on sight: twenty credits per semester across four semesters, against ninety-two if every printed elective row were counted. Section 8.41 supplied the PGDEVS exit award and its identical forty-credit first-year structure. Sections 3.40, 3.45, 3.70, 8.36, 8.40, 8.42 and 8.64 supplied the shared-code list and the two title conflicts named in the warning box.
From live IGNOU assignment booklets. Four were opened rather than one, so that a template carry-over in a single file could not be mistaken for the programme’s format: the MAEVS First Year booklet and the MAEVS Second Year booklet for the January 2025 to July 2026 sessions, the per-course First Year file published on the university’s SOITS path, and the M.Sc. (Environmental Science) First Semester booklet, which was read specifically to check MEV 011 across two programmes. Between them they supplied the 100-mark total, all five marking patterns, the four assignment code formats including the MSD double slash, the ten cover-page fields, the 30 per cent weightage statement, the two differently worded handwriting instructions, the word-limit contradiction and its single exception in MED 003, and the validity window in place of a submission date. The count of two published MAEVS files was read off IGNOU’s own programme index on the assignment portal.
From ignouproject.com as publisher. The rate, the hard-copy-only rule, the medium clause, the backlog clause and the handwriting match are commercial choices made by this publisher alone. 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.

Written and reviewed by BK Sahni, Founder, Shri Chakradhar Publication Pvt. Ltd. and ignouproject.com, who has guided 5,00,000 students till date. ORCID 0009-0005-8092-459X. More on the author and the editorial process is on the BK Sahni profile. Published 25 August 2026. Last reviewed 25 August 2026. Next scheduled review 1 October 2026, once Regional Centres have issued their December examination cut-offs, and again by 1 December 2026, ahead of the December 2026 expiry printed on the current MAEVS booklets.
Questions MAEVS Learners Send Before Their Code List
The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. A four-credit MEV paper and the six-credit MEDS 042 paper cost the same, and so does a first-semester paper and a backlog paper from an earlier span. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate.
Neither MAEVS booklet prints one. Both files say only that submission must happen within the stipulated time for you to remain eligible for the term-end examination, and then never name a date. The operative figure comes from your Regional Centre and from notifications on ignou.ac.in, and IGNOU has extended it inside a single cycle before. Ask your centre and check the university site rather than trusting a date copied from a study-help page.
Because the two answer different questions. The bracketed line reading Valid from Jan 2025 to December 2026 tells you how long these particular questions remain the ones IGNOU will mark. It says nothing about when your bundle must reach the counter. After December 2026 the questions are replaced under the same course codes, which is why a bundle written against an expired file is a wasted bundle even if it arrives early.
Eighteen. The prospectus table prints twenty-two course codes, but the third-semester elective block asks you to choose three of six, so nineteen courses are registered. Of those nineteen, MEVP 012 Project Work carries no question paper, leaving eighteen Tutor Marked Assignments across the four semesters.
No. MEVP 012 Project Work is six credits of supervised research placed in the fourth semester, and neither the First Year nor the Second Year MAEVS booklet publishes a question paper for it. It is never quoted at the ₹320 assignment rate. If MEVP 012 appears in a code list sent for pricing, it is named and removed rather than billed.
Both spellings are IGNOU’s own. The July 2026 Common Prospectus prints MEDS 042 in the MAEVS table; the live Second Year booklet heads the paper MEDS-42 and prints its assignment code as MEDS-42/TMA-01. Copy whatever your own booklet prints onto the cover sheet, because that is the string an evaluator will be matching against. Every other MAEVS code is three digits in both documents.
Exactly what the paper prints, which is shorter than you might expect. MEV 024 prints MEV-024/TMA with no serial number and no session. MEV 025 prints MEV-025/TMA/ with a trailing slash and nothing after it. Do not extend either into the longer form used elsewhere in the same booklet. Both are third-semester electives sitting inside the Second Year file.
It is a defect in IGNOU’s own typesetting, and it repeats. MSD 019 in the First Year booklet prints MSD-019//TMA-01, and MSD 023 in the Second Year booklet prints MSD-023//TMA-01. Two files, two semesters, the same double slash on the same prefix. Reproduce it as printed on your cover sheet rather than correcting it, since the paper is the reference point.
Every paper totals 100 marks, but the division is not uniform. Fifteen papers print 5×20=100 with a choice of any five from eight questions. MEV 024 and MEV 025 print the same total against only six questions. MSD 019 and MSD 023 print 4×25=100 and require all four. MEDS 42 prints 5×20=100 with five compulsory questions. MED 003 sets nine, eight at ten marks and a ninth splitting into four short notes at five marks. Read the two lines above question one before planning anything.
Only one MAEVS paper tells you. MED 003 asks for about 250 words on a five-mark question and no more than 500 on a ten-mark one. The other twenty papers print no word count at all, even though instruction (d) in both booklets tells you not to exceed the number indicated in the question. Where nothing is indicated, write to the demands of the question: a twenty-mark question carrying three separate instructions needs all three answered.
A solved assignment is a soft-copy file of model answers for a course code and session, used as reading while you prepare. A handwritten assignment is those answers written by hand on A4 and submitted in hard copy at your Study Centre. Only the second one is a submission. A printed copy of a solved file is not accepted, and the MAEVS booklet says in its own instruction list that you should write the answer in your own handwriting.
The MAEVS booklet carries two instructions about this at different strengths. Note 3 under the writing guidelines states that you should write the answer in your own handwriting. A later line says it is preferred to write all assignments neatly in your own handwriting. Both are IGNOU’s, in one file. A Study Centre asked to accept a typed MAEVS bundle will be reading the stronger of the two, so handwriting is the safe course.
No. Section 3.42 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus records the MAEVS medium of instruction as English, and both live booklets are published in English only. Any site offering a Hindi MAEVS paper is offering something IGNOU does not issue. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price, which on this programme resolves to the English paper.
IGNOU publishes MAEVS assignments in two year-bundled files rather than four semester files. The First Year file holds the ten semester I and II papers. The Second Year file holds semester III and semester IV together, including all six third-semester electives, so eleven assignments sit inside one PDF. That is a different arrangement from the sister M.Sc. (Environmental Science), which gets separate semester booklets on the same portal.
Yes. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. Send the year printed on the cover of the booklet you are working from along with the code, because MAEVS questions change between spans under an unchanged course code and the answers have to match the paper you will hand in.
For the January 2025 to July 2026 span, yes. The MAEVS First Year booklet and the M.Sc. (Environmental Science) First Semester booklet print MEV-011 with the same eight questions and the same assignment code line. The only thing separating them is the programme code you write on your own cover sheet, so write MAEVS there deliberately rather than leaving it to be inferred.
No soft copy or PDF is sold. What is prepared here is the written hard copy, and it is the only form the Study Centre counter accepts. If your Regional Centre requires an upload, you scan the delivered pages yourself, which keeps the original ink with you until a receipt is stamped. Reference files are a separate matter handled on a different page of this site.
Assignment marks reach the grade card only after the Study Centre records receipt and the counsellor’s award is transmitted to the Student Evaluation Division, so a gap is normal. On MAEVS the outstanding component is often something else entirely: MEVP 012 waiting on a supervisor, or a first-year code recorded under the PGDEVS exit award rather than the MA. Keep your stamped receipt and raise it with your centre before resubmitting anything.
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. You sign the declaration on the assignment cover page, so you should read and review the content before submitting it, and satisfy yourself that it represents your own understanding of the course.
