IGNOU BFTTM Handwritten Assignment: BTSC-101 to BTSC-109, BFO-018 and Minor Papers

What Comes Inside a BFTTM Courier Envelope

Each BFTTM course code you order travels as its own handwritten set, so BTSC-104 is never stapled to BTSC-103 and the coordinator can file every paper against its own code. Four things sit inside the envelope for each code. The first is the answer script, written by hand in ink on plain sheets and following the question numbering printed on the paper you named. The second is a front page laid out in the IGNOU format, left for you to complete with your enrolment number, Study Centre code and signature. The third is a printed copy of the official question paper for that code, the exact file your session uses, so the coordinator and the evaluator can match each answer to its question without looking anything up. The fourth is the courier cover that carries the lot to your address.

What changes from one BFTTM paper to another is length rather than contents. A BTSC paper asks you to attempt any five of its ten questions, each worth 20 marks and pitched at about 600 words, so a complete BTSC script runs to roughly 3,000 words of handwriting across five answers. A minor paper can work the other way round: the 2025 booklet for BCOS-186 Personal Selling and Salesmanship makes all twelve of its questions compulsory, most of them short. The envelope follows the paper, not a fixed page count, which is why nobody quotes you pages before your codes are known.

No soft copy or PDF is sold. If your Regional Centre asks for an online upload in a particular cycle, you scan the delivered sheets yourself; the order itself stays on paper from the first line to the courier label.

Where the ₹320 Stops and IGNOU’s Rules Take Over

The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. That single figure pays for the handwriting of one course code, the IGNOU-format front page, the copy of the question paper, the match to your own hand and the courier to your pin code. Credits do not move it: a 6-credit BTSC paper and a 4-credit minor paper cost the same, and so does a 6-credit interdisciplinary course taken from the BA list. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate.

Three things sit outside the rate. The first is the project. BTSP-115, which the July 2026 prospectus prints in the sixth-semester cell it shares with the fourth skill-enhancement course, is a supervised report with its own proposal stage, not a Tutor Marked Assignment, so this product does not cover it. The second is any decision that belongs to IGNOU or your Study Centre: which paper version applies to a pending course, whether a script arriving after a printed date is taken, and what an evaluator awards. The third is a delivery date. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.

The rate also holds steady across medium and session, which matters on a programme taught in two languages with a batch that is still only two years old. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. The price, the hard-copy-only format, the courier arrangement, the handwriting match and the session policy are Shri Chakradhar Publication’s own commercial terms. None of them is an IGNOU rule, and none of them commits the university to anything.

A Solved BTSC File or a Handwritten BTSC Set: Which One Goes to the Coordinator

Two different things turn up in BFTTM searches, often under the same heading. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for one course code and one session, read on a screen and used to plan answers of your own. A handwritten assignment is the answer set written out by hand on paper and submitted in hard copy to the coordinator of your Study Centre. The first is study material. Only the second is something you hand over with your signature on the front.

The BTSC booklets themselves say little about format. The 2026 BTSC-101 paper closes its note by telling you to send your TMA to the coordinator of your Study Centre, and none of the three BTSC papers opened for this page uses the word handwritten at all. The handwriting expectation reaches BFTTM learners through IGNOU’s general assignment rules as Study Centres restate them: the June 2026 guidelines issued by the Study Centre at St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata, for instance, ask for answers in the learner’s own handwriting in blue or black pen and tell learners not to print or type them. A downloaded model-answer file, printed out, is therefore not a submission for any BTSC code, however closely it follows the questions.

Scroll sideways on a narrow screen to see all three columns.

A reference file and a handwritten set answer different needs, and this page sells only the second. If a reference file is what you are after, the store keeps them on its bachelor’s solved-assignment reference shelves, searchable by course code. If you would rather write every word yourself, ignouproject.com’s step-by-step guide to preparing a handwritten IGNOU assignment walks through layout, margins and the front page. If the problem is simply time, the order block below turns your chosen BTSC answers into a script prepared in your own style of writing.

Ten Major Papers: BTSC-101 to BTSC-109 and the Borrowed BFO-018

The Discipline Specific Core carries the tourism content of the degree, and the July 2026 Common Prospectus lists it as ten papers of 6 credits each: one in each of the first two semesters and two in each of the four that follow. Nine of them carry the BTSC prefix. The tenth, BFO-018 Entrepreneurship in Small and Medium Business, belongs to the Facility Operations code family, and the same prospectus places it in the sixth semester of the BA in Facility and Services Management as well, so its booklet is filed under a different programme family from the other nine. The table sets out every Major code with its title as the prospectus prints it and what this build could confirm on ignou.ac.in.

Titles and credits: IGNOU Common Prospectus July 2026, section 5.22. Scroll sideways to see the booklet column.

Ten papers at 6 credits make 60, exactly the Major figure the prospectus prints in its own total row, so the table is complete for the three-year degree. Because the first BFTTM batch was admitted in January 2025, only the BTSC-101, BTSC-102 and BTSC-103 booklets surfaced when ignou.ac.in was searched for this page. Later papers such as BTSC-107 or BTSC-109 are ordered on the same terms once IGNOU posts them, and the question paper copy in your envelope is always the one IGNOU has issued, never a reconstruction. The fourth year that leads to Honours adds four further discipline papers, DSC-11 to DSC-14, and a 12-credit dissertation option, but the prospectus names those only by slot, so no code can be listed for them yet.

Minor, Language, Skill and Value Papers That Share Your Timetable

Half of every BFTTM semester sits outside tourism. Each semester carries a 4-credit Minor, the first two years add an ability-enhancement paper and a value paper, and skill-enhancement slots run from the first semester to the sixth. The prospectus fills some slots with named codes and points the rest to the lists printed for the BA (Major/Honours) programmes. Wherever IGNOU issues a Tutor Marked Assignment for one of these papers, it is ordered exactly like a BTSC code.

Source: IGNOU Common Prospectus July 2026, section 5.22, with titles from the BA (Major/Honours) course lists on pages 164 to 167.

Add the Major’s 60 credits to 24 Minor, 8 ability-enhancement, 16 skill-enhancement, 6 interdisciplinary and 6 value-added credits and the degree closes at 120, twenty in each of six semesters. The prospectus prints its own total row as 60, 24, 08, 22 and 06; its 22 is the skill-enhancement 16 and the interdisciplinary 6 counted together, so the two readings agree and the extracted structure can be trusted. The discipline minors in Semesters 3 to 5 are ordinary BA discipline codes, and the handwritten product for BA (Multidisciplinary) discipline codes already lists those papers code by code.

The degree also has three exits before its end. Leave after two semesters with 40 credits and a 4-credit vocational course and the award is a UG Certificate. Leave after four semesters with 80 credits and a further vocational course and it is a UG Diploma. Complete six semesters and 120 credits and it is the UG Degree with Major, while Honours, or Honours with Research, needs 160 credits across a fourth year. An exit point is also a deadline in disguise: a paper whose assignment is missing when you want the Certificate or the Diploma holds the whole award back.

Ten Places the BFTTM Paperwork Contradicts Itself

Reading the prospectus, the launch notification and the live booklets side by side turns up disagreements a BFTTM learner can easily walk into. None of them is settled here by guessing. Each is set out with its source, so you can check it against your own admission record and raise it with your Study Centre where it affects you.

The first point is the one that decides whether an order is useful at all. If you are unsure which BTSC-101 file your Study Centre expects, open the paper you downloaded and read its first question and its assignment code line; those two details are enough to tell the files apart. Check which BTSC-101 paper is yours before ordering.

30 April, 31 October or 30 October: Reading the SOTHSM Cut-Offs

BFTTM belongs to the School of Tourism and Hospitality Services Management, and its dates are tied to the examination you are sitting rather than to the month you were admitted. The one BFTTM booklet that prints a deadline, BTSC-102, asks for the script by 30 April for the June Term End Examination and by 31 October for the December Term End Examination. It prints no year beside either date, which fits a paper whose assignment code carries no year either.

Two things make the October date less settled than it looks. The BTSC-101 and BTSC-103 papers, the other two BFTTM booklets found live when this page was checked, print no date at all. And SOTHSM’s 2026 booklets for BAFVTM and MTTM, issued by the same school for the same calendar year, give 30 October 2026 for the December 2026 examination. With 26 September 2026 as the date of this review, the safe working deadline for a December 2026 BFTTM submission is 30 October 2026, the earlier of the two printed dates, unless your Study Centre tells you otherwise in writing.

Dates circulating elsewhere add noise rather than information. Study Centre rule sheets copied from programme to programme often print 31 March and 30 September, which belong to other schools’ papers and not to BTSC. University-wide extensions are a separate matter again: for the June 2026 examination IGNOU extended the assignment window after the printed date, but an extension arrives by notification, cannot be predicted, and is never a sound reason to plan past what the booklet prints. Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent. Missing a cut-off gives that share away on the paper concerned.

BTSC-103 adds a further wrinkle. Its 2026 paper is headed Jan and July 2026 session, so one question paper serves learners from both admission cycles of the calendar year, and the same answers go to the June or the December examination depending on when you sit it. Papers are replaced cycle by cycle. A BTSC paper coded 2026 should not be assumed valid for a 2027 examination, and the code itself tells you which year a paper belongs to, when it carries a year at all.

Four Code Lines Across Three BTSC Courses

The assignment code is the line a coordinator reads to decide which paper your script answers, and BFTTM’s booklets print it in several ways. Copy it from the paper you actually downloaded, character for character, onto the front page. The variations found on ignou.ac.in for this page are these:

• BTSC-101/TMA/2025 on the file named BTSC-101.pdf: hyphenated course code, four-digit year, programme line BFTTM.
• BTSC-101/ TMA/2026 on BTSC-101-english.pdf: the same course with a space after the first slash, a 2026 year and a programme line reading BFTTM/BFTTMOL.
• BTSC-102/TMA on BTSC-102-ENGLISH.pdf and its Hindi twin: no year anywhere in the code.
• BTSC 103/TMA/2026 on BTSC-103-ENGLISH-2026.pdf: a space instead of a hyphen between prefix and number.

The question pattern is steadier than the codes. Every BTSC paper opened for this page carries ten questions, asks you to attempt any five, sets 20 marks per question and expects about 600 words per answer, for a total of 100. The short-note question is where papers diverge: the 2026 BTSC-101 paper splits it four ways at 5 marks each, the 2025 BTSC-101 paper asks for any two of three notes at 10 marks each, BTSC-103 asks for four notes of about 150 words at 5 marks each, and BTSC-102 prints two notes at 10 marks each.

Minor papers follow their own school’s habits. The 2025 BCOS-186 paper, filed in SOTHSM’s folder under a BFTTMOL file name, prints its code as BCOS-186/TMA/2025 with spaces around the dash, adds a Coverage: All Blocks line, and makes all twelve questions compulsory: five at 10 marks, five at 6 marks and two paired items at 5 marks each part. The handwritten set follows whichever split your paper prints, so the code you send decides the shape of every answer.

Your Own Hand, Copied From One Photographed Page

Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. The reason is consistency rather than disguise. A BFTTM learner who submits BTSC-101 for June and BTSC-102 for December hands the same coordinator two scripts months apart, and a set that looks like your ordinary writing, and looks the same from one code to the next, reads as one learner’s file because it is prepared to follow one learner’s hand.

A sample page comes back to you on WhatsApp before you pay, so you judge the match against your own page rather than against a description of it. If the slant, the letter size or the spacing between lines looks wrong, say so at that stage, before any code is written. For Hindi-medium BTSC papers the photo should be a page of your Devanagari writing rather than English, because a hand is matched script by script.

Taking the Photo That Sets the Hand

Photograph a full page of ordinary notes, not a signature and not a page written slowly for the camera. Shoot it flat, in daylight, with the whole width of each line in frame and no shadow across the ink. One clear page is enough; a second helps only if your writing changes between separate and joined letters.

Hindi, English, BFTTMOL and the 2025 Backlog Window

Both the launch notification and the July 2026 prospectus teach BFTTM in English and Hindi, and IGNOU posts BTSC-102 in both languages; the Hindi file carries the same 30 April and 31 October dates as the English one. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. The online twin, BFTTMOL, is different: the prospectus says it is taught in English only and asks BFTTMOL learners to choose English-medium courses, so a BFTTMOL order is written in English whatever the Hindi booklet’s cover says.

Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. For BFTTM, the word older has a hard floor. The programme opened in the January 2025 session under Launch Notification No. 162, so the oldest BFTTM paper that can exist is a 2025 one, and a BFTTM backlog is in practice a 2025 code you still owe. Whether such a course should be answered on its 2025 paper or on the current 2026 paper is for IGNOU to decide through your Study Centre or Regional Centre, not for this publisher; the set is written against whichever paper you name, and that paper’s copy goes into the envelope so nobody has to guess later.

The duration window is wide enough for backlogs to linger. The prospectus allows up to six years for the 120-credit degree and eight for Honours, so a paper deferred in 2025 can still be on your list well into 2027 and beyond, alongside papers from your current semester.

What to Put in Your First WhatsApp Message

Five items settle a BFTTM quote. Nothing else is needed at the start: no enrolment number, no identity card and no portal password.

1. Your programme and medium: BFTTM in English, BFTTM in Hindi, or BFTTMOL.
2. Every course code you need, each with the assignment code copied from your downloaded paper, so the two BTSC-101 files can never be confused.
3. The examination you are submitting for, June or December, and the numbers of any questions you want answered from the ten.
4. A photo of one page of your ordinary handwriting.
5. Your delivery pin code, plus the sheet size your Study Centre asks for if it has named one.

What comes back is the number of codes, the total at ₹320 a code and the delivery position for your pin code. Your enrolment number and the rest of the front page are yours to fill in when the envelope arrives.

From Doorstep to Coordinator’s Desk

Open each set and lay it beside its question paper copy. Check that the code on the paper is the code you ordered, count the answers against the number the paper asks for, and read every answer through. 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.

Then complete the front page in your own hand: enrolment number, name, address, programme (BFTTM or BFTTMOL), course code and title, the assignment code exactly as printed, and your Study Centre. Sign it. Keep a photocopy of each script and ask the coordinator for a receipt; SOTHSM’s 2026 booklets for its sister tourism programmes tell learners to do both, and the advice holds for BFTTM too.

After submission, marks travel from your Study Centre to IGNOU’s Student Evaluation Division and appear against the course on IGNOU’s own assignment status pages. That tracking belongs to IGNOU, and the publisher’s part ends when the envelope reaches you. 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.

Books, Guess Papers and Shelves BFTTM Learners Use Next

The store does not yet have a dedicated BFTTM shelf for books, reference files, guess papers or the BTSP-115 project, so the useful routes run through the common-course shelves that BFTTM shares with the BA programmes. BEDSV-101, the second-semester value paper, has its study notes on the value-added course book shelf, and BEVAE-181 Environmental Studies sits among the ability-enhancement books for the new BA syllabus. Skill papers such as BMPS-183 or BTTS-183 appear with the skill-enhancement course books, and your first-semester interdisciplinary choice is likely to be among the interdisciplinary course study notes.

For BFO-018, the most relevant shelf is the BA Facility and Services Management books, the programme family whose code the paper carries. For revision before a June or December examination, the bachelor’s solved guess paper range is organised by programme and course code.

If BFTTM is a step towards postgraduate tourism study, the Master of Tourism and Travel Management book collection shows what the MTTM papers look like. For any other IGNOU programme, the store’s full handwritten assignment catalogue lists every programme prepared by hand on the same terms.

BFTTM Questions, Answered From the Booklets

Which BTSC-101 assignment should you download, the 2025 one or the 2026 one?

Both are live on ignou.ac.in. The file coded BTSC-101/ TMA/2026 names BFTTM/BFTTMOL and, on its face, is the paper for 2026 examinations; the file coded BTSC-101/TMA/2025 is the earlier paper. If BTSC-101 is a course you still owe from 2025, ask your Study Centre which paper it expects before writing. When ordering, send the assignment code line and the first question of your paper, and the set is written against that file.

What is the IGNOU BFTTM assignment last date for December 2026?

The BTSC-102 booklet prints 31 October for the December examination, while SOTHSM’s 2026 booklets for BAFVTM and MTTM print 30 October 2026. Plan to 30 October 2026, the earlier date, unless your Study Centre confirms otherwise. Any extension would come by IGNOU notification and cannot be assumed in advance.

Can you submit a printed or typed BFTTM assignment instead of a handwritten one?

Study Centres restating IGNOU’s assignment rules ask for answers in the learner’s own handwriting and tell learners not to print or type them; the June 2026 guidelines from the St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata Study Centre say exactly that. The BTSC booklets themselves tell you to send your TMA to your Study Centre coordinator. A printed reference file is therefore not a submission for BFTTM.

What is the difference between a BFTTM solved assignment and a handwritten assignment?

A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session, used to plan your own answers. A handwritten assignment is the answer set written by hand on paper and submitted in hard copy to your Study Centre. This product is the second kind only.

Can a BTSC solved assignment be copied out by hand and submitted?

A reference file carries the same text for every buyer, and SOTHSM’s 2026 booklets for its sister tourism programmes ask learners to write the answers in their own words. Use a reference file to understand what a question wants, then write or order an answer of your own; handing in a copied model answer invites the kind of scrutiny no learner wants on a 30 per cent component.

How many questions does a BTSC assignment ask you to answer?

Five out of ten. Each BTSC paper opened for this page carries ten questions, asks you to attempt any five, awards 20 marks each and expects about 600 words per answer. The short-note question splits differently from paper to paper, so follow the split printed on your own copy.

Are minor papers such as BCOS-186 covered, and do they follow the BTSC format?

They are covered at the same ₹320 per subject. Their format differs: the 2025 BCOS-186 paper makes all twelve questions compulsory across three sections, with shorter answers than a BTSC paper. The set follows the pattern of whichever paper you name.

Is the BFTTM handwritten assignment available in Hindi medium?

Yes, wherever IGNOU issues the paper in Hindi; BTSC-102, for example, is posted in both English and Hindi. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. Send a photo of your Devanagari writing so the hand is matched in the right script.

You study BFTTMOL. Is the order any different?

The codes and the rate are the same. The difference is language: the prospectus teaches BFTTMOL in English only, so the set is written in English, and the front page should name BFTTMOL as your programme.

Is BFO-018 part of BFTTM even though it does not start with BTSC?

Yes. BFO-018 Entrepreneurship in Small and Medium Business is a sixth-semester Major paper of 6 credits in the BFTTM structure, borrowed from the Facility Operations code family that BAFFSM also uses. It is ordered like any BTSC code.

Does this order include the BTSP-115 project?

No. BTSP-115 is the programme’s project, a supervised report with its own proposal stage, and it is not a Tutor Marked Assignment. This product covers assignment scripts only.

You still owe a 2025 BFTTM paper. Can it be ordered now?

Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. Because BFTTM opened in January 2025, a BFTTM backlog is at most a 2025 paper. Which version, 2025 or 2026, your Study Centre wants for that course is its decision; the set is written against the one you name.

How much does a full BFTTM semester of assignments cost?

It depends on how many of your papers carry a TMA, at ₹320 each. A first-semester learner with BTSC-101, one minor, one skill course and one interdisciplinary course, all with assignments, would pay ₹1,280 for four codes, courier included. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate.

When will a BFTTM set reach your address?

Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page. The position for your pin code comes back with the quote, so you can compare it with your cut-off before you decide.

Will a handwritten BFTTM set earn good marks on BTSC papers?

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. Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent.
