Description
In short. An IGNOU PGDNOV handwritten assignment order from Shri Chakradhar Publication covers the four papers that make up the Post Graduate Diploma in The Novel: MEG 05 Literary Theory and Criticism, MEG 03 British Novel, MEG 11 American Novel and MEG 19 Australian Novel, 32 credits with no elective to choose. Each paper is written by hand in a style matched to a photo of your own writing, packed with an IGNOU-format front page and a copy of the question paper, and sent by courier at ₹320 per subject, so the full diploma comes to ₹1,280. The detail that trips PGDNOV learners up is that the current papers no longer carry the diploma’s name at all: they are MA English (MEG) files, and on 10 November 2026 the newest readable American Novel paper printed a 30 April and 31 October pair while the British and Australian Novel papers printed 31 March and 30 September.
Unpacking a PGDNOV Order: Four Bundles, Four Question Papers, Four Front Pages
Shri Chakradhar Publication packs a PGDNOV order paper by paper. If your record shows all four codes, the courier carries four separate bundles, one for each of MEG 05, MEG 03, MEG 11 and MEG 19, and each bundle is complete on its own so it can be handed in as one course’s assignment without borrowing pages from another.
Inside each bundle you will find three things. The first is the set of answers written out by hand, one answer per question, in the order the paper prints them. On the current papers that means five essay answers per course, because every one of the four novel-diploma papers read for this page asks you to answer all five questions at 20 marks each. The second is a front page laid out in the IGNOU format, carrying the course title, course code, assignment line and the personal details the paper asks for. The third is a copy of the official question paper for the cycle you named, so the evaluator sees which questions were answered.
No soft copy or PDF is sold. What leaves the writing desk is paper and nothing else. If you want a digital record before you submit, photograph or scan your own pages after they arrive; the publisher does not keep a downloadable version for you, and none is offered for sale.
Order fewer than four papers and the parcel simply carries fewer bundles. A learner who passed MEG 05 in an earlier cycle and still owes the three novel papers receives three bundles; a learner who owes only the Australian Novel paper receives one. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate.
Fielding to Carey at ₹320 Each: What a Full PGDNOV Order Costs and What Stays Outside It
The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. On PGDNOV the arithmetic is short: four papers, four times ₹320, which is ₹1,280 for the whole diploma. Three papers come to ₹960, two to ₹640, and one to ₹320. The WooCommerce listing shows a regular price of ₹350 with ₹320 as the sale price, and ₹320 is what you pay per subject.
Included in each ₹320 are the handwritten answers, the IGNOU-format front page, the copy of the question paper and the courier to your address. The handwriting match costs nothing extra either. Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge.
Three things sit outside the rate and always will. The first is the IGNOU programme fee itself, which is paid to the university and has nothing to do with this store. The second is the term-end examination, which carries most of each course result and which nobody can sit for you. The third is any outcome: no claim is made about marks, acceptance or how an evaluator will read the set.
Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page. That matters on a literature diploma in particular, because the four PGDNOV papers ask for long essay answers on named novels, and a learner working against a cut-off should know where the parcel stands before committing money rather than after.
Reading a MEG 19 Model Answer Versus Handing In a MEG 19 Set: The PGDNOV Comparison
Two products turn up when a PGDNOV learner searches for help with a paper such as MEG 11 or MEG 19, and they are easy to confuse because both are described with the same course codes. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session, meant to be read on a phone or laptop while you prepare. A handwritten assignment is the answers written out by hand on paper and submitted in hard copy at the study centre, which is what this product is.
The difference is not cosmetic. Every IGNOU file read for this page that gives writing instructions asks for the response in the learner’s own handwriting: the 2022-23 PGDNOV booklet and the MEG 11 paper for July 2025 and January 2026 say “You should write in your own handwriting”, and the 2024-25 PGDNOV booklet and the MEG 03 and MEG 19 papers for July 2026 and January 2027 carry the same own-handwriting instruction. A printout of a downloaded answer file is therefore not a submission, however good the answers in it are. It is a reference to write from.
| What a novel diploma learner is weighing | Solved MEG file, read on screen | Handwritten PGDNOV set, sent on paper |
|---|---|---|
| Form it arrives in | A digital file of typed model answers | Hand-written pages, front page and question paper copy, by courier |
| What you do with it | Read it, take notes, write your own answers from it | Read it, review it, sign the declaration and hand it in |
| Written by hand? | No, a printout is typed | Yes, in a style matched to your sample |
| Who it suits | Learners with time to write four long essay sets themselves | Learners who need the written form and cannot produce it in time |
| Price line on this store | Priced per MEG code on the solved shelf | ₹320 per subject, courier included |
Swipe or scroll sideways to see every column on a small screen.
Some learners use both in sequence: a reference file to understand what a question on Kim Scott’s Benang or on Muriel Spark’s narrative technique is driving at, and then a handwritten set to submit. If what you want is the reference file alone, the store keeps model-answer files for MEG 03, 05, 11 and 19, filed session by session on the MA English solved shelf, and that is the better page for that need. This page does not sell a solved assignment and should not be read as offering one.
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. That responsibility does not change whichever product you buy.
Owe all four novel diploma papers, or just the American Novel one that slipped? The arithmetic is the same ₹320 for each paper you name, with courier inside that figure.
The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge.

MEG 05, 03, 11 and 19: Section 8.48’s Thirty-Two Credits, With No Elective to Pick
The IGNOU Common Prospectus July 2026 describes the Post Graduate Diploma in The Novel in section 8.48 on page 301, under the School of Humanities. It sets the eligibility as a bachelor’s degree or a higher degree from a recognised university, gives English as the only medium of instruction, and prints a four-row course table. There is no “choose any” line anywhere in it. Every PGDNOV learner holds the same four codes.
| MEG number on your record | Course title in the 8.48 table | Credit weight in 8.48 | Placing in the MAEG course table | Newest readable paper on 10 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEG 05 | Literary Theory & Criticism | 8 | I Year, compulsory | July 2025 and January 2026 file; the 2026-27 file returned no readable text |
| MEG 03 | British Novel | 8 | I Year, elective | July 2026 and January 2027 file |
| MEG 11 | American Novel | 8 | II Year, elective | July 2025 and January 2026 file; the 2026-27 file returned no readable text |
| MEG 19 | Australian Novel | 8 | II Year, elective | July 2026 and January 2027 file |
| Total | Four courses, no choice | 32 | Two first-year, two second-year | Four MEG files, none headed PGDNOV |
Scroll the table sideways on a phone to reach the last two columns.
The credit check comes out clean: four courses at eight credits each is 32, which is exactly the total section 8.48 prints. The extraction was checked against that figure before the table above was trusted, because in the extracted text the MAEG table on page 63 runs straight into rows of the Hindi MA table, and a table read without a sum check can quietly absorb another programme’s lines.
The annexure row for the programme, row 172, gives a minimum duration of one year, a maximum of three, a fee of Rs 7,000, year-wise admission, and January and July cycles. Section 8.48 also says that after completing PGDNOV a learner “can take admission to MA (English) (MEG) programme under lateral entry scheme as per rules of the University”. The prospectus names the programme coordinator as Prof. Pema Eden Samdup, the same coordinator it names for the other School of Humanities English diplomas.
What each paper asks is worth knowing before you order, because the four are not interchangeable in workload. The July 2026 and January 2027 British Novel paper asks five questions on Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Great Expectations, A Passage to India and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The Australian Novel paper for the same cycle asks about My Brilliant Career, The Tree of Man, Schindler’s Ark, Benang and True History of the Kelly Gang. The American Novel paper for July 2025 and January 2026 covers Sister Carrie, The Catcher in the Rye, Black Spring, The Great Gatsby and The Last of the Mohicans. The theory paper for the same cycle asks five questions, one of them split into four short notes of five marks each. Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent.
Two First-Year Papers and Two Second-Year Papers: Where PGDNOV Sits in MA English
None of the four PGDNOV codes belongs to the diploma alone. All four are MA English courses, and the MAEG table on pages 63 and 64 of the prospectus splits them across both years of the master’s: MEG 05 is the compulsory first-year paper and MEG 03 a first-year elective, while MEG 11 and MEG 19 are both second-year electives. The MAEG Programme Guide places them the same way. So a PGDNOV learner is answering two papers that an MA English learner meets in year one and two that the same learner meets only in year two.
That split is the most useful single fact about PGDNOV for anyone planning lateral entry. PGDBLT, the British Literature diploma, is built entirely from first-year MEG papers. PGDNOV is not. The prospectus says only that lateral entry runs “as per rules of the University”, and the MAEG Programme Guide read for this page says nothing about it, so how the two second-year novel papers count toward the master’s is a question for your Regional Centre, not for this page or any third-party admissions page.
The same three novel papers also form one of the six modules in the MA English Programme Information file, PI_MEGOL, published on IGNOU’s Samarth portal. That document names a module “THE NOVEL” holding MEG 3, MEG 11 and MEG 19, and says a learner may exit “with a PG Diploma in English” after 32 credits. The award name there is not the Post Graduate Diploma in The Novel, even though the papers coincide, so a MEGOL learner who leaves after that module is not a PGDNOV learner for admission purposes.
| PGDNOV paper | Also printed in these diploma tables | Terms on which those tables use it | MEGOL module that names it |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEG 05 | PGDBLT, PGDWI, PGDWM, PGDAML, PGDNLEG | Fixed first row in all five | Not one of the six modules |
| MEG 03 | PGDBLT | Fixed, no choice | British Literature; The Novel |
| MEG 11 | PGDAML | One of four, any three chosen | American Literature; The Novel |
| MEG 19 | PGDNLEG | One of four, any three chosen | New Literature in English; The Novel |
On a narrow screen, drag the table left to read the module column.
Read across, PGDNOV is the only one of the six MEG 05 diplomas that fixes both MEG 11 and MEG 19 as compulsory rows. If you are also writing the British Literature diploma’s papers, the PGDBLT handwritten page, which writes the same MEG 03 and MEG 05 beside British poetry and drama, covers the overlap. A learner holding MEG 05 under the Writings from India diploma will find the PGDWI listing, where MEG 05 sits beside three Indian literature papers. A paper you answer once counts once: if MEG 05 is already passed under one diploma, check with your Regional Centre before paying to have it written again under another.
Twenty-Five PGDNOV Mismatches: Seventeen in IGNOU’s Files, Seven on This Store, One Elsewhere
Every item below was found on 10 November 2026 by reading the Common Prospectus, IGNOU’s programme page and the MAEG Programme Guide against the eleven assignment files opened for this page, nine of them readable, then reading this store’s own listings the same way. None of it is resolved silently on this page; where a reader needs to choose, the safer reading is given and the source named.
Read this before you write or order: twenty-five disagreements around the novel diploma, seventeen inside IGNOU’s own documents, one on a third-party page and seven in this store’s own listings or on its sister site.
1. MEG 05 has five printed titles. Section 8.48 says Literary Theory & Criticism, the MAEG table says Literary Theory and Criticism, the PGDNOV booklets say Literary Criticism & Theory, the MEG 05 file and the December 2025 term-end paper say Literary Criticism and Theory, and IGNOU’s PGDNOV programme page says “Literarcy Criticism and Theory”. It is one course.
2. Compulsory or elective. The MAEG table and the MAEG Programme Guide call MEG 05 compulsory, while the MEG 05 files for 2024-25 and 2025-26 call it “the elective English course”.
3. Which year. IGNOU’s PGDNOV programme page labels all four courses Year 1. The MAEG table and the MAEG Programme Guide place MEG 11 and MEG 19 in the second year.
4. Eighty credits per year. The MAEG Programme Guide prints “First Year Courses: 80 credits” and “Second Year Courses: 80 credits”, while the prospectus MAEG table prints 40 for each year and 80 in total.
5. Two fee figures. The annexure gives Rs 7,000 for PGDNOV. The programme page gives INR 7,300 per year including a Rs 300 registration fee, on a programme whose minimum duration is one year.
6. Same papers, two award names. The MEGOL Programme Information groups MEG 3, MEG 11 and MEG 19 as “THE NOVEL” and names its 32-credit exit a PG Diploma in English, not the Post Graduate Diploma in The Novel.
7. Two cut-off pairs inside one diploma. The MEG 11 file for July 2025 and January 2026 prints 30 April for the June examination and 31 October for December. The MEG 03 and MEG 19 files for July 2026 and January 2027 print 31 March and 30 September, as does the 2025-26 MEG 05 file.
8. MEG 11 changed its own pair. The MA English MEG 11 file for 2022-23 printed 31 March for a July session and 30 September for a January session. The 2025-26 file moved to 30 April and 31 October.
9. Three ways of keying a date. The 2025-26 MEG 05 file and the 2022-23 PGDNOV booklet tie dates to the admission session and print the year. The 2023-24 and 2024-25 PGDNOV booklets, the 2025-26 MEG 11 file and the 2026-27 MEG 03 and MEG 19 files tie them to the June or December examination and print no year.
10. Paper size. All three PGDNOV booklets ask for A4. The 2025-26 MEG 11 file says “Use only foolscap size paper”. The 2025-26 MEG 05 file says “foolscap / A 4”. The 2026-27 MEG 03 and MEG 19 files name no size at all.
11. A diploma booklet printing the master’s programme line. The 2022-23 and 2023-24 PGDNOV booklets head the MEG 19 paper “PGDNOV/2022/2023” and “PGDNOV/2023- 2024”. The 2024-25 PGDNOV booklet, under a PGDNOV cover, heads its MEG 03 and MEG 19 papers “MEG/2024/2025”.
12. A stale year on the American Novel page. In the 2022-23 PGDNOV booklet the MEG 11 paper is headed “ASSIGNMENT 2021-22” above the course code line “MEG-11/2022-23”. The MA English MEG 11 file of the same year carries the same mismatch.
13. The British Novel code lost its TMA string. The 2022-23 and 2023-24 booklets print MEG-03/TMA 01/2022-23 and MEG-03/TMA 01/2023-24. From 2024-25 the paper prints only a programme line and “Course Code: MEG 03”.
14. Two spellings of one cycle in one session. The 2026-27 MEG 19 file prints “MEG 2026/2027” and “Course Code: MEG-19” on page 2, then “MEG/2026-2027” and “MEG 19” on page 3. The 2026-27 MEG 03 file prints “MEG/2026/2027”.
15. No PGDNOV-headed booklet after 2024-25 was located. The current papers are MA English files headed Master’s Degree in English, and none of the four read for this page names PGDNOV.
16. Two of the newest files cannot be read. On 10 November 2026, MEG-05-2026-27.pdf and MEG-11-26-27.pdf on ignou.ac.in returned no machine-readable text, so their dates and paper-size lines could not be checked.
17. Three-digit codes on the June 2026 term-end papers. Those papers print MEG-011 and MEG-019, while the assignment files and earlier term-end papers read print two-digit forms such as MEG-11, MEG 11 and MEG-19.
18. Third party: a one-year promise on lateral entry. A third-party admissions page says PGDNOV lets a learner complete the master’s in one additional year. No IGNOU document read for this page says so; the prospectus says only “as per rules of the University”.
19. In-house: a marks claim on the novel combos. Two MA English solved-assignment combos on this store bundling MEG 3, MEG 11 and MEG 19 as “Module 6: The Novel” carry a marks assurance in their titles. No such claim can be made about any assignment, and both titles are listed for correction at source.
20. In-house: the MAEG handwritten product overstates foolscap. It says every live MEG booklet it checked asks for foolscap only. The PGDNOV booklets ask for A4, the 2025-26 MEG 05 file allows either, and the 2026-27 MEG 03 and MEG 19 files name no size.
21. In-house: the MAEG product’s two date systems do not fit the novel papers. It describes examination-keyed dates as 30 April and 31 October and session-keyed dates as 31 March and 30 September. The 2026-27 MEG 03 and MEG 19 files are keyed to the examination and still print 31 March and 30 September.
22. In-house: four diplomas or six. The MAEG product heads a section on four PG diplomas built from MEG papers. The prospectus prints six diploma tables that open with MEG 05: PGDWI, PGDBLT, PGDNOV, PGDWM, PGDAML and PGDNLEG.
23. In-house: the handwritten hub category. Its description still states a fixed working-day delivery window, calls the sets study reference material not for submission, and offers English or Hindi, while PGDNOV is English medium only.
24. In-house: the PGDNOV book shelf. The category has an empty description and lists a MEG 1 British Poetry book among its nine products, a course that is not part of PGDNOV.
25. In-house and sister site: nothing under the PGDNOV name before this page. The store had no PGDNOV handwritten, solved, guess-paper or project shelf, and ignouproject.com has no PGDNOV article; the nearest sister-site page is its MEG handwritten guide.
Disclosing the in-house items is deliberate. A store that lists its own errors next to the university’s gives you a reason to trust the rest of the page, and items 19 to 25 are queued for correction on the listings concerned.
31 March for Three Novel Papers, 30 April on the American Novel File: Reading the PGDNOV Cut-Offs
Submission dates at IGNOU are set by school and, as PGDNOV shows, sometimes by course within a school. No date from another product on this store applies here, and no date from a PGDNOV booklet older than the paper you hold should be trusted over the paper itself. The table records what each paper prints, read on 10 November 2026.
| Novel diploma paper | File the date was read from | Line for the June sitting or July cycle | Line for the December sitting or January cycle | What the date hangs on | Sheet size the file names |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEG 03 British Novel | July 2026 and January 2027 | 31 March | 30 September | Examination, no year | None |
| MEG 19 Australian Novel | July 2026 and January 2027 | 31 March | 30 September | Examination, no year | None |
| MEG 11 American Novel | July 2025 and January 2026 | 30 April | 31 October | Examination, no year | Foolscap only |
| MEG 05 Theory and Criticism | July 2025 and January 2026 | 31 March 2026, July 2025 session | 30 September 2026, January 2026 session | Admission session, year printed | Foolscap or A4 |
The table is wider than a phone screen; slide it to see the date and paper-size columns.
For a July 2026 admission sitting the June 2027 term-end examination, the British Novel and Australian Novel papers both point to 31 March 2027. The theory paper’s last readable cycle followed the same March date, and its 2026-27 file could not be read. The American Novel paper is the odd one out: its last readable file says 30 April for a June sitting, and its 2026-27 file could not be read either. Working to 31 March for all four removes the guesswork, because nothing is lost by finishing MEG 11 a month early, whereas a learner who plans around 30 April and then finds the new MEG 11 file has moved to March has no room left.
For a learner entered for the December 2026 examination, every printed date has gone: 30 September on three papers and 31 October on MEG 11. Press reports dated 29 October 2026 say IGNOU extended the December 2026 assignment window to 20 November 2026. The university’s notice itself was not read for this page, so treat that date as reported rather than confirmed, and check it with your study centre. Whether a written set can reach you before that date depends on your pin code, which is why delivery is confirmed for your order before you pay.
Two further rules sit on the papers themselves. The 2026-27 MEG 19 file states that a learner who does not submit on time will not be allowed to appear in the examination, so the assignment is a condition of sitting, not an optional extra. And a paper belongs to its cycle: the questions change from one booklet year to the next, so a set written against the 2024-25 MEG 19 questions is not a set for the 2026-27 paper. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject, but the order is written against the paper you name.
From MEG-03/TMA 01/2023-24 to a Bare MEG 19: What Goes in the Assignment Number Box
The front page has a box for the assignment number, and on PGDNOV it is the box most likely to be filled from the wrong paper. Over five cycles the four novel-diploma courses have printed at least six different shapes of identifying line, and the newest papers print no TMA string at all. The table lists every line read for this page, exactly as each file prints it.
| Course | File and cycle it was read from | Line exactly as that file prints it | Does it contain TMA? |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEG 03 | PGDNOV booklet, July 2022 and January 2023 | MEG-03/TMA 01/2022-23 | Yes |
| MEG 03 | PGDNOV booklet, July 2023 and January 2024 | MEG-03/TMA 01/2023-24 | Yes |
| MEG 03 | PGDNOV booklet, July 2024 and January 2025 | Programme: MEG/2024/2025, Course Code: MEG 03 | No |
| MEG 03 | MEG file, July 2026 and January 2027 | Programme: MEG/2026/2027, Course Code: MEG 03 | No |
| MEG 05 | MEG file, July 2025 and January 2026 | Programme: MEG, Course Code: MEG – 05 | No |
| MEG 11 | PGDNOV booklet, July 2022 and January 2023 | Course Code: MEG-11/2022-23, under a heading reading ASSIGNMENT 2021-22 | No |
| MEG 11 | MEG file, July 2025 and January 2026 | Course Code: MEG-11/2025-26 | No |
| MEG 19 | PGDNOV booklet, July 2023 and January 2024 | Programme: PGDNOV/2023- 2024, Course Code: MEG 19 | No |
| MEG 19 | MEG file, July 2026 and January 2027 | Programme : MEG/2026-2027, Course Code : MEG 19 | No |
Move the table sideways on a phone to read the full code lines.
The working rule is simple even though the strings are not. The line on your front page should be the line on the paper you are answering, copied as that paper prints it, including the programme line where the paper gives one. Shri Chakradhar Publication fills the IGNOU-format front page from the paper and cycle you name and does not invent a TMA number where the paper prints none. If your study centre has told you to write something else in that box, send that instruction with your order and it is followed.
One practical consequence follows from item 15 in the box above. Because the current papers say Master’s Degree in English and MEG rather than PGDNOV, a learner who searches the portal under the diploma’s name finds only the older booklets. The current files sit under the MA English listings, by course code, on IGNOU’s assignment portal for the current cycle.
Your Own Hand, Copied Across Four Long-Essay Novel Papers
Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. The sample comes before payment, so you see a written page in the matched style before any money changes hands.
Matching matters more on a novel diploma than on most, simply because of length. Twenty essay answers across four papers, each one built around named novels and novelists, produce a lot of pages, and a style that drifts between the first bundle and the fourth is easy to notice when you check the bundles side by side. The whole order is written to the one sample you send.
The sheet size follows your paper or your study centre. Because the PGDNOV booklets say A4, the 2025-26 MEG 11 file says foolscap only, the 2025-26 MEG 05 file allows either and the 2026-27 MEG 03 and MEG 19 files are silent, the size is confirmed with you before writing begins rather than assumed. A learner whose study centre has issued its own instruction should send it; otherwise the instruction on the paper you are answering is the one used.
Choosing the sample page when your answers will name novels and novelists
Pick a page of continuous prose, not a list or a page of figures, and make sure it carries capital letters in the middle of sentences. Literature answers repeat proper nouns constantly: Heathcliff, Holden Caulfield, Miles Franklin, Patrick White, Ned Kelly. How you form a capital H, F or W shows up on every page of a PGDNOV set, so a sample that shows your capitals gives a far better match than one written in lower case throughout. Photograph it flat, in daylight, with the whole page in frame.
English Medium on Every PGDNOV Record, the Gap After 2024-25, and Papers Carried Forward
The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. For PGDNOV that means English: section 8.48 gives English as the only medium of instruction, IGNOU’s programme page says the same, and every PGDNOV and MEG file read for this page is in English. No Hindi version of any of the four papers was found among the files read, so a Hindi-medium PGDNOV set is not something this page can offer against a real paper.
Admission is year-wise in both the January and the July cycle, according to the annexure, and the programme can be completed in one year and must be completed within three. That three-year window is why backlog orders are common on this diploma: a learner who joined in July 2024 may still owe MEG 19 in late 2026. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject.
The gap after 2024-25 changes what a backlog order looks like. A learner admitted in 2023 holds a booklet headed PGDNOV; a learner re-attempting a paper now will usually be answering the current MEG file instead, because that is the paper the university currently issues for the course. Which paper applies to your sitting is a question your study centre or Regional Centre can settle, and the order is written against whichever paper you name.
Five Items for the First PGDNOV Message: Codes, Exam Sitting, Paper Year, Photo, Pin Code
A PGDNOV order starts from a single WhatsApp message to +91 93546 37830, and only five things are needed in it. Nothing else is asked for at the start, and no account or form is involved.
- The MEG numbers still open on your record. All four, or only those you have not yet submitted.
- The term-end sitting you are entered for. June 2027, December 2026 under the reported extension, or a later sitting for a backlog paper.
- The paper year you are answering. The cycle printed on your downloaded file, so the set is written against the right questions.
- One photographed page of your writing. Continuous prose, with capitals, as described above.
- The pin code the parcel goes to. So delivery can be confirmed before you pay, together with any paper-size instruction from your study centre.

Reading, Signing, Tagging and Getting the Study Centre Slip for a PGDNOV Set
When the parcel arrives the remaining steps are yours, and on a literature diploma the first of them is the one that matters most: read each set through before you do anything else. The answers are essays about novels you are studying, and you will sit a three-hour examination on the same texts. A set you have read and understood is useful twice over.
Then check each front page against its paper: course title, MEG number, the identifying line, your enrolment number and your study centre. Sign the declaration only once you are satisfied with the set. The PGDNOV booklets read for this page ask that all pages be tagged carefully and that the relevant question number be written with each answer; the sets arrive with answers numbered to the paper, and tagging is done by you so the pages stay in the order you checked.
The PGDNOV booklets direct the completed assignment to the coordinator of the study centre allotted to you, and that is where the four bundles go. Ask for an acknowledgement when you hand them in and keep it until your grade card shows the assignment marks. The booklets also advise keeping a copy of your completed assignment in case the one submitted is lost in transit, which is a good reason to photograph each set before you hand it over.
Novel Guides, MEG Guess Papers and the MA English Route: What PGDNOV Learners Pick Up Next
A handwritten set answers the assignment share of each PGDNOV course and nothing more, so most learners also need something for the examination share. The store keeps the Novel diploma’s own study-material category, and within it a four-book PGDNOV combo covering MEG 5, MEG 3, MEG 11 and MEG 19 for learners who want all four guides together.
Because every PGDNOV code is a MEG code, the MA English shelves serve this diploma as well. The full MA English guide-book shelf, arranged by MEG number, carries single-course titles; for examination practice there are MEG guess-paper sets written against past novel and theory sittings, and term-end MEG papers from earlier years, solved question by question. The term-end papers matter here: the recent MEG 11 and MEG 19 term-end papers read for this page ask for five answers from a longer list, so the examination offers a choice the assignment does not.
For learners planning to continue into the master’s, the MAEG handwritten listing, for learners who move on to the remaining MA English papers, covers the other MEG codes, and its own conflict notes are among the in-house items in the box above. A paper code not listed anywhere else can go through the custom order for any IGNOU code from any cycle, and the rest of the catalogue sits in the store’s handwritten assignment section, programme by programme.
If you would rather write the four sets yourself, the sister site publishes an ignouproject.com guide to writing MEG assignments yourself, which covers the same MEG course codes from the learner’s side.
Sixteen PGDNOV Questions, From the Missing 2025-26 Booklet to the Australian Novel Paper
PGDNOV mein kitne assignment likhne hote hain, aur koi choice milti hai kya?
Four, and there is no choice. Section 8.48 of the Common Prospectus July 2026 lists MEG 05, MEG 03, MEG 11 and MEG 19 at eight credits each, 32 in total, with no elective line. Each course has one assignment, and on the current papers each assignment asks you to answer all five questions.
What does a complete PGDNOV set come to, with courier?
₹1,280 for all four papers. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. Fewer papers cost proportionately less: ₹960 for three, ₹640 for two, ₹320 for one.
My MEG 19 paper says Master’s Degree in English and MEG/2026-2027. Is it the PGDNOV paper?
Yes, as far as the files read for this page show. No PGDNOV-headed booklet after 2024-25 was located, and the university now issues each course as a MEG file. The 2024-25 PGDNOV booklet had already started printing “MEG/2024/2025” on its MEG 19 page under a PGDNOV cover. Your study centre can confirm the paper for your sitting.
Why is there no PGDNOV booklet for 2025-26 or 2026-27 on the IGNOU site?
That could not be established from IGNOU’s own pages. What can be said is that the PGDNOV booklets located end with July 2024 and January 2025, and that MEG files for the four courses exist for 2025-26 and 2026-27, two of which (MEG 05 and MEG 11 for 2026-27) returned no readable text on 10 November 2026.
MEG 11 says 30 April but MEG 03 says 31 March. Which date should a June 2027 PGDNOV learner work to?
Work to 31 March 2027 for all four. That is the date the 2026-27 British Novel and Australian Novel papers print for a June sitting. The 30 April line comes from the 2025-26 American Novel file, and the 2026-27 American Novel file could not be read, so finishing MEG 11 by 31 March costs nothing and protects you if the new file has moved.
Mera December 2026 TEE hai aur MEG 19 ki 30 September wali date nikal chuki. Ab kya option hai?
Press reports dated 29 October 2026 say the December 2026 window was extended to 20 November 2026; check that with your study centre, because the university notice was not read for this page. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.
Novel diploma mein solved file se kaam chalega, ya MEG papers haath se likhe hue hi jama karne honge?
They do different jobs. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file you read and write from; the PGDNOV booklets and the current MEG files ask for the response in your own handwriting, so a typed file is not a submission. A handwritten set is the written form you review, sign and hand in.
Can a printed MEG 03 answer file from a download be handed in for PGDNOV?
Not according to the papers. Every file read for this page that gives writing instructions asks you to write in your own handwriting, and none of them offers a typed alternative. A printout is useful as preparation and not as the assignment itself.
Haath se likhna zaroori hai, ya typed MEG pages bhi chal jaate hain PGDNOV mein?
Haath se. The 2022-23 and 2024-25 PGDNOV booklets and the current MEG 03, MEG 11 and MEG 19 files all carry the own-handwriting instruction, and no typed-submission route appears on any of them. If your study centre has issued a different instruction in writing, follow that.
A4 ya foolscap: MEG 11 aur MEG 19 kis paper par likhein?
It depends on the paper you hold. The PGDNOV booklets say A4, the 2025-26 MEG 11 file says foolscap only, the 2025-26 MEG 05 file allows either, and the 2026-27 MEG 03 and MEG 19 files name no size. The size is confirmed with you before writing starts, and a study centre instruction takes priority if you have one.
Is MEG 05 Literary Theory and Criticism the same paper as Literary Criticism and Theory?
Yes. IGNOU prints the title five ways across the prospectus, the MAEG table, the PGDNOV booklets, the MEG 05 file and the programme page, but the course code is MEG 05 in every one of them and the course is the same. Copy the title your own paper prints onto the front page.
The programme page lists all four papers in Year 1, but MA English puts MEG 11 and MEG 19 in Year 2. Does that change what I write?
Not for the diploma. A PGDNOV learner answers all four papers within the diploma, whatever year the MA English table assigns them. The year placing matters only if you later seek lateral entry into the master’s, and that is a question for your Regional Centre.
Only MEG 19 from my 2024-25 admission is still pending. Can one paper be ordered alone?
Yes. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. Tell the desk which MEG 19 paper your sitting uses so the set is written against the right questions.
After PGDNOV, can I join MA English through lateral entry, and should MEG papers be ordered now?
Section 8.48 says a PGDNOV graduate can take admission to the MA English programme under the lateral entry scheme as per the university’s rules, but no IGNOU document read for this page sets out how the 32 PGDNOV credits transfer. Settle that with your Regional Centre before ordering any MA English paper.
Is a Hindi-medium PGDNOV set possible?
Not against a real paper. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price, and for PGDNOV that is English alone: section 8.48 gives English as the only medium, and no Hindi version of any of the four papers was found among the files read.
Will anyone tell me what marks the PGDNOV set will get?
No. 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. Any listing that suggests otherwise, including two on this store named in the box above, is wrong.
Section 8.48, Eleven IGNOU Files, the MEGOL Module List and the Publisher’s Terms, Each Credited Separately
Three kinds of source stand behind this page, and they carry different weight, so the claims taken from each are grouped here rather than mixed together.
What the IGNOU Common Prospectus July 2026 supplied. Section 8.48 on page 301: the School of Humanities, the eligibility, English as the only medium, the four courses at eight credits each and the 32-credit total, the lateral-entry sentence and the programme coordinator. Annexure row 172: one to three years, Rs 7,000, year-wise, January and July. The MAEG table on pages 63 and 64: MEG 05 and MEG 03 in the first year, MEG 11 and MEG 19 in the second. The six diploma tables in sections 8.46 to 8.51 that open with MEG 05.
What IGNOU’s live files and pages supplied, read on 10 November 2026. The PGDNOV course list on ignou.ac.in, with its Year 1 labels, its fee line and its spelling of the theory course. Three PGDNOV booklets on the webservices server, including the PGDNOV booklet for July 2024 and January 2025 and the 2023-24 PGDNOV file with the examination-keyed dates, plus the 2022-23 booklet. The current course files on ignou.ac.in: the MEG 03 British Novel paper for 2026-27, the 2026-27 Australian Novel file, the American Novel paper for July 2025 and January 2026 and the MEG 05 theory paper with its session-keyed dates, together with the 2024-25 MEG 05 file and the 2022-23 MA English MEG 11 file. The two 2026-27 files that returned no readable text are named in the box above. The MAEG Programme Guide and the MEGOL Programme Information on the Samarth portal were also read, along with the indexed text of the December 2025 term-end papers for MEG 05, MEG 11 and MEG 19 and the June 2026 papers for MEG 11 and MEG 19.
What Shri Chakradhar Publication sets, not IGNOU. The ₹320 rate per subject, the courier inside it, hard copy only, the free front page and question paper copy, the handwriting match from a sample photo before payment, no minimum order, all sessions and backlogs, and delivery confirmed by pin code. These are the publisher’s commercial terms and change only when the publisher changes them.
Press reports were used once, for the December 2026 extension, and are labelled as such where they appear. Third-party pages were read only to record the claim in item 18 and are not linked.
