Description
In short. MAJEM is the Master of Arts in Journalism and Electronic Media, an 80-credit programme taught by IGNOU’s School of Journalism and New Media Studies over two years of 40 credits each, in which nineteen course-code rows are printed but only sixteen courses are actually taken, because year one asks you to choose two practicals from three and year two asks you to choose one practical from two and one project from two; Shri Chakradhar Publication writes the Tutor Marked Assignment answers for those codes out by hand on A4 and couriers the pages to you. 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. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. The codes on your own registration slip decide what gets written, because a first-year MAJEM learner and a second-year one share no course code at all, and the assignment file that currently covers your first-year papers on ignou.ac.in does not print a submission date, which is why the deadline section below tells you exactly what each of the last three files said instead of quoting one number at you.
What Lands on Your Desk When the Parcel Opens
A MAJEM handwritten assignment order is delivered as physical paper, not as a link. Each course code you send arrives as a separate stapled set, and every set is built the same way, so a learner ordering MJM-021 alone and a learner ordering six first-year codes receive the same construction repeated.
Inside each set there is the answer script itself, written by hand in blue ink on A4 sheets with the question copied out above each answer, because IGNOU evaluators mark against the printed question and a Study Centre coordinator checking a bundle at the counter should not have to hold your booklet open beside it. Above that sits the IGNOU-format front page, filled in with your enrolment number, name, address, programme title, course code, course title, assignment code and Learner Support Centre code, which is the exact five-item list the MJM booklets instruct you to write on the first page of every assignment. Behind the front page sits a printed copy of the official MAJEM question paper for the code and cycle you named, so the coordinator can read the questions and the answers from the same bundle.
What does not arrive is a file. No soft copy or PDF is sold. That is a deliberate scope line rather than a limitation to work around: an assignment that exists only as a PDF is not a submission, and the whole point of ordering ink on paper is that the object crossing the counter is already the object IGNOU asked for.
Where the ₹320 Stops, and What It Never Buys
Per subject means per course code, not per year and not per semester, because MAJEM is a year-wise programme and a second-year learner carrying one backlog from year one is buying one code, not a package. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. Inside that figure sit the writing itself, the paper, the ink, the IGNOU-format front page, the printed question paper and the courier to your address. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate.
Outside that figure sits everything the university controls. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page. Shri Chakradhar Publication does not submit the set on your behalf, does not hold an IGNOU login, and cannot see or influence what happens after the bundle reaches the Study Centre. 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.
One more line belongs here rather than buried further down, because it is the line most learners are actually checking for. 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. On MAJEM that instruction has unusual weight, and the reason is set out in the next section.
Reference File or Inked Pages: Telling the Two Apart
Two very different things circulate under similar names, and MAJEM learners lose money by ordering the wrong one. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session, read on a phone or a laptop. A handwritten assignment is those answers written out by hand on A4 and submitted in hard copy at the Study Centre. One is study material. The other is the thing you hand in.
| Question | Solved assignment | Handwritten assignment |
|---|---|---|
| What is it | A PDF of model answers for one course code and session | Answers written by hand on A4 sheets, stapled with a front page and the question paper |
| What you do with it | Read it, understand the shape of the answer, then write your own version | Check it, sign the declaration on the cover page, hand the bundle in |
| Who it suits | Learners with time to write who want a worked model to write from | Learners short of writing time who still need paper across the counter by the cut-off |
| Format on arrival | Download link | Courier parcel |
| Rate on this store | Priced per course code in the solved-assignment catalogue | ₹320 per subject, courier included |
On a narrow screen the third column sits off to the right, so drag the table sideways to reach it.
What the MAJEM papers themselves say about submission is short and unambiguous. Each MJM booklet instructs you to submit the assignments to the Coordinator of your Study Centre within the stipulated time in order to be eligible to appear in the term-end examination, to write your enrolment number, name, address, assignment code and Study Centre code on the first page, and to obtain and keep a receipt for what you handed in. Every one of those instructions describes a physical object being handed to a person. A downloaded PDF satisfies none of them. Nothing on this page should be read as suggesting a printed model answer can be submitted in place of your own written work.
There is a MAJEM-specific reason to think about which of the two you actually need. Several MAJEM questions cannot be answered from a model file at all. The MJM-022 paper asks you to identify a newsmaker from your own locality or district and submit a photograph of that person with the assignment. MJM-024 asks you to collect five consecutive days of a newspaper of your choice and analyse its coverage of class, caste, gender, minority and ethnicity. The 2024 MJM-020 paper asks you to compare a recent news event across two outlets in an Indian language of your choosing. A model answer cannot supply your district, your newspaper or your language, so on those questions a reference file shows you structure and nothing more. Where a reference file is genuinely what you came for, the catalogue of MAJEM solved assignments arranged by MJM and MNM course code is where it lives, and it is a different product with a different price.
Six first-year codes, or the one you are behind on. ₹320 per subject, hard copy, courier included, any session including backlogs.
Every MJM and MJML Code in the First MAJEM Year
The July 2026 Common Prospectus sets out MAJEM in section 3.64. Year one carries nine printed rows and eight actual courses: six compulsory theory papers, then two practicals chosen from a group of three. The theory papers are the ones that carry a Tutor Marked Assignment question paper you can order written out; the practical and project manuals are issued digitally on eGyankosh and are produced differently, which the prospectus states in a footnote under the table.
| Code | Title of the course | Type | Credits | How it is taken |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MJM 120 | Introduction to Journalism and Mass Communication | Theory | 6 | Compulsory |
| MJM 021 | Reporting Techniques | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MJM 022 | Writing and Editing for Print Media | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MJM 023 | Broadcast and Online Journalism | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MJM 124 | Media and Society | Theory | 6 | Compulsory |
| MJM 025 | Media Ethics and Laws | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MJML 220 | Practical: Print | Practical | 6 | Choose any two of these three |
| MJML 221 | Practical: Audiovisual | Practical | 6 | Choose any two of these three |
| MJML 023 | Practical: Digital Media | Practical | 6 | Choose any two of these three |
Five columns sit in this table and the last one falls off a phone screen, so drag it across to see how each code is taken.
The arithmetic settles cleanly, which matters because prospectus tables for adjacent programmes have been known to bleed into one another during extraction. Six theory papers at 6, 4, 4, 4, 6 and 4 credits total 28. Two chosen practicals at 6 credits each add 12. The year comes to 40 credits, which is what the prospectus states when it says the learner completes 40 credits each year to earn 80.
One structural point catches out learners who compare notes across programmes: the MAJEM first year is identical to the MAJMC first year. Every one of these nine rows, with the same titles, the same credits and the same choose-any-two rule, also appears in the prospectus table for the Master of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication in section 3.62. The two degrees separate only in year two. That is why one assignment booklet on ignou.ac.in serves several programmes at once, and it is also why the cover of that booklet has changed its mind three times about which programmes it belongs to. The MAJMC solved-assignment listing built on that shared first year covers the same six MJM codes for the same reason.
The Second-Year MNM, MJMP and MJMT Papers
Year two is where MAJEM stops resembling anything else and where the six-prefix problem becomes visible. Ten rows are printed and eight courses are taken. Three compulsory theory papers sit under two different prefixes, two more compulsory theory papers sit under a third, one practical is chosen from two, one project is compulsory, and a second project is chosen from two more.
| Code | Title of the course | Type | Credits | How it is taken |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MNM 002 | Audio Production | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MJM 028 | Digital Media | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MJM 031 | Communication Research Methods | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MJML 222 | Practical (Research Methodology) | Practical | 6 | Choose any one of these two |
| MJMT 021 | Internship | Practical | 6 | Choose any one of these two |
| MNM 003 | Digital Photography and Videography | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MNM 004 | Audiovisual Production | Theory | 4 | Compulsory |
| MNMP 101 | Project Work (Electronic Media) | Project | 8 | Compulsory |
| MJMP 120 | Major Project Work (Dissertation) | Project | 6 | Choose any one of these two |
| MJMP 022 | Research Portfolio | Project | 6 | Choose any one of these two |
This table is wider than a phone, so slide it left to right to read the credits and the selection rule.
Add the second year up: five compulsory theory papers at 4 credits each make 20, one chosen practical adds 6, the compulsory MNMP 101 project adds 8, and one chosen project adds 6, for 40 credits. Both years therefore land on 40 and the programme lands on 80, which matches the prospectus total exactly. Count the courses rather than the rows and you get eight in each year, sixteen in all, which is what the prospectus means when it states that MAJEM has sixteen courses while printing nineteen code rows.
Two consequences follow for anyone ordering. First, five MAJEM course codes carry no MJM prefix at all, so a learner who searches only for MJM material will never find MNM-002, MNM-003, MNM-004 or MNMP-101, and those four sit inside the second year rather than at its edges. Three of them are shared with IGNOU’s separate one-year PG Diploma in Electronic Media, which is why study material listed under the PGDEME diploma covers courses a second-year MAJEM learner is also sitting. Second, MNMP 101, MJMP 120 and MJMP 022 are project work rather than Tutor Marked Assignments; they are written to a project format, not to an assignment question paper, and are handled through the hard-copy project and synopsis catalogue rather than through this product.
Three MAJEM Booklets That Do Not Agree
Shri Chakradhar Publication opened three consecutive first-year assignment files on IGNOU’s own servers before writing this page, rather than one, because a single file cannot show whether an oddity is a school habit or that file’s slip. Reading them against each other produced more disagreement than any single document admits to. Everything below was read off the files themselves.
Ten places where IGNOU’s own MAJEM documents, and this publisher’s own pages, contradict each other. Read this before you copy a code onto a cover sheet.
1. Three files, three different lists of who the paper belongs to. The January and July 2023 file is headed MAJEM–Ist year on the cover and MAJEM/PGJMC inside. The January and July 2024 file names all three: MAJEM (1st Year), MAJMC (1st Year) and PGJMC. The January and July 2025 file drops MAJEM entirely and is headed for PGJMC and MAJMC only, while still carrying the exact six codes a first-year MAJEM learner has to submit.
2. Six courses or eight. The 2023 file tells you to submit one assignment in each of the six theory courses. The 2024 and 2025 files tell you to submit one assignment in each of the eight courses. Both statements are defensible, because year one has six theory papers and eight courses once the two chosen practicals are counted, but the same booklet family says both things without explaining the shift.
3. Only the middle file prints a date. The 2023 file leaves the due-date box holding an instruction to check the website. The 2024 file prints 31st March for TEE June and 30th September for TEE December against every one of its six assignments. The 2025 file drops the dates again and returns to the instruction to check the website. The school has not stopped using those dates: its 2026 BNM-029 file for the journalism bachelor’s programme still prints 31st March and 30th September.
4. Two numbering systems for the same two courses. The 2025 cover lists MJM-020/120 and MJM-024/124 as dual codes. The July 2026 prospectus prints only MJM 120 and MJM 124. The 2023 and 2024 files print only MJM-020 and MJM-024. All three refer to the same two courses.
5. Four assignment-code formats in four consecutive cycles: MJM-020/Jan23/July23, then MJM-020/ Jan.24/ July24, then MJM-022/ Jan.2025/ July2025 Cycle, and MJM-020/120 with a January 2026 and July 2026 session line on current listings.
6. Two named coordinators sign the same first-year paper. The 2023 file is signed by Dr. Amit Kumar as Programme Coordinator, MAJEM, and the prospectus names him as the MAJEM coordinator in section 3.64. The 2024 and 2025 files are signed by Dr. Shikha Rai as Programme Coordinator, PGJMC and MAJMC-I.
7. The word limit contradicts itself inside a single assignment. Every MJM paper carries a blanket instruction to attempt each question in about 500 words, then prints its own count against individual questions: the 2024 MJM-020 paper runs 400, 500, 350, 500 and 400.
8. The prospectus spells the same footnote two ways. Section 3.64 tells MAJEM learners to arrage for a research supervisor; section 3.62 tells MAJMC learners to arrange for one. Same footnote, same document, one letter apart.
9. In-house, and pending correction. The MAJEM project article on ignouproject.com frames MNMP-101 and MJMP-022 as alternatives to each other, when the prospectus makes MNMP-101 compulsory at 8 credits and puts the choose-any-one between MJMP-120 and MJMP-022. That article’s web address also reads mnmp-001 while the course code is MNMP-101.
10. In-house, and pending correction. This store’s own MJM 20, MJM 24 and MJM 25 study-material and guess-paper listings carry the old numbering with no reference to MJM-120 or MJM-124, so a learner arriving from the July 2026 prospectus may not recognise them as the same courses.
Disclosing this is not a hedge. A page that quietly picked one version and presented it as settled would be easier to read and would send some learners to the counter with the wrong string on their cover sheet. Where two IGNOU documents disagree, the honest instruction is to check the file attached to your own code on ignou.ac.in and to confirm with your Regional Centre. 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 Date SOJNMS Printed Once and Then Stopped Printing
MAJEM does not share a deadline with the management or the humanities programmes, and carrying a date across from another school is the fastest way to miss a submission window. The School of Journalism and New Media Studies works to 31st March for the June term-end examination and 30th September for the December one. That pair is printed in full on the 2024 MAJEM first-year file against all six assignments, and it is still printed on the school’s 2026 BNM-029 bachelor’s file, so it is the school’s live convention rather than a one-off.
What makes MAJEM unusual is that the file currently sitting against your first-year codes does not print it. The 2025 MJM booklet, like the 2023 one before it, leaves the box holding the sentence asking you to check the website for the latest update on the due date. Two files out of three published in three years therefore give you an instruction where a date belongs. That is not a reason to guess. It is a reason to open the file attached to your own course code, read what that specific file says, and take the answer from your Study Centre if it says nothing.
The consequence of missing it is the same either way, and it is the reason the 30 per cent line matters more here than the arithmetic suggests. Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent. The booklets add the condition that decides your year: you must submit to the Coordinator of your Study Centre within the stipulated time in order to be eligible to appear in the term-end examination. Miss the window on MJM-023 and you are not sitting the MJM-023 paper in June, whatever your preparation looks like.
Check which cycle’s MAJEM paper matches your codes before ordering, and the correct file is used rather than the newest one on the portal. The rate is ₹320 per subject either way.
There is a second timing point specific to a modular programme. MAJEM allows an exit after year one with a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism and Mass Communication, and it allows lateral entry into year two for learners who completed that diploma at IGNOU with 40 credits after paying the internal credit-transfer fee. A lateral-entry learner starts at MNM-002 and never sits MJM-020 at all, so the first-year cut-off is irrelevant to them and the second-year one is not. Send your year, not just your programme code.
Decoding MJM-020/120 Before You Copy It Onto the Cover
The assignment code is the string the Study Centre matches your bundle against, and on MAJEM it is doing more work than usual. Take the 2024 first-year string apart. MJM-021 is the course code. Jan.24 and July24 are the two admission cycles the single paper serves, which is why one file covers both the January and the July intake rather than there being separate papers for each. Assignment 02 is the file’s internal numbering of that paper within the six-paper set, running Assignment 01 through Assignment 06 in code order.
Three details trip people up. The first is that the code prefix on the heading and the code prefix on the assignment-code line are not always punctuated the same way inside one paper: the 2024 file heads the sixth assignment MJM 025 with a space and then prints its assignment code as MJM-025 with a hyphen, two lines apart. The second is the dual notation. On the 2025 cover, MJM-020/120 and MJM-024/124 are single courses carrying two numbers, and the newer number is the one the July 2026 prospectus uses, so either may be correct on your paperwork depending on when you registered. The third is that the format changes between cycles: Jan23/July23 has no full stops, Jan.24/ July24 has one, and Jan.2025/ July2025 Cycle spells the year in full and adds a word.
The practical instruction is simple. Copy the assignment code exactly as it appears on the file you downloaded for your own session, not as it appears on a guide, a listing or this page. Where the set is written for you, the code that goes on your front page is the one you send.
Ink That Looks Like Yours, Not Like a Stranger’s
A MAJEM year submitted in six visibly different hands invites a question at the counter that nobody needs. Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. The same writer then carries every code in your order, so a first-year learner handing in MJM-020/120 through MJM-025 hands in six sets that read as one person’s work, and a learner who orders MJM-023 in March and MJM-031 in September can ask for the same hand again.
What the Sample Photo Needs to Show
Half a page of ordinary writing is enough. Write it in your usual pen at your usual speed on lined or blank paper, photograph it flat in daylight without a flash, and send it on WhatsApp. What is being read from it is letter shape, slant, spacing, how you form numerals and how your hand behaves over a run of lines, so a rushed scrawl or a carefully drawn showpiece both make the match worse. The sample goes in before payment, which is the point: you see the matched writing before money moves, not after the parcel arrives.
The physical specification stays constant across every code. Blue ink on A4, the question written above each answer, headings and subheadings underlined, margins kept even, pages numbered and the set stapled behind its front page. On a paper that runs five answers of roughly 500 words each, presentation is not decoration; it is what makes 2,500 handwritten words readable to somebody marking a stack of them.
English Only, Every Cycle, Backlogs Included
The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. On MAJEM that resolves to one medium, because section 3.64 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus records the medium of instruction for the programme as English and lists no other. This is worth stating plainly because the neighbouring programme creates a genuine false expectation: MAJMC, which shares the identical first-year table and the identical six MJM papers, is offered in English, Hindi and Tamil, and Hindi-language solved-assignment listings for MJM-020 circulate widely. Those are MAJMC materials. If you are registered on MAJEM, your paper comes in English and your answers go back in English.
Session coverage runs the other way and is deliberately wide. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. A 2023-cycle MJM-022 that never got submitted is written at ₹320 exactly like a current-cycle one. This matters more on MAJEM than on a settled programme, because the papers were reissued in 2023, 2024 and 2025 with different questions each time, and a learner clearing a backlog usually needs the paper that carried their questions rather than the newest file. Send the cycle along with the code and the correct paper is used.
MAJEM itself is recent enough that this comes up constantly. IGNOU launched the programme for the January 2023 session, alongside MA Development Journalism and MA Journalism and Digital Media, so the oldest possible MAJEM backlog is only a few cycles deep and the assignment archive for it is correspondingly thin. That is precisely why the cycle you name matters.
What to Send, and What Not to Bother Sending
Five items settle a MAJEM order and nothing else is needed before writing starts.
- Your course codes, exactly as they appear on your registration slip. MJM-021 and MJM-022 for two first-year theory papers, or MNM-003 and MJM-031 for second-year ones. Codes decide the price, because the rate is per subject.
- Your year and whether you entered laterally. A lateral-entry learner who came in from PGJMC never sits the first-year codes, and saying so up front prevents a quote built on the wrong table.
- The session or cycle the paper belongs to. January 2026, July 2025, an older backlog cycle: whichever appears on the file you downloaded.
- Your handwriting sample photo. Half a page in your own hand, sent before payment.
- Your delivery pin code. The courier position is confirmed against it before you pay, which is why no delivery figure appears anywhere on this page.
What is not needed: your enrolment password, your Samarth login, your grade card, your study material, or a scan of the whole question paper. The front-page details are collected once the order is confirmed, not at the enquiry stage.
Second-year MNM papers, or a first-year backlog from an older cycle. ₹320 per subject, courier included, handwriting matched from your own sample before payment.
Once the Envelope Is in Your Hands
Open it and read it before anything else happens. 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. On a MAJEM paper that also means checking the answers that had to be built around you: if a question asked for a newsmaker from your district or five days of a newspaper you choose, confirm that what is written is something you can stand behind and speak to.
Check the front page against your own record next. Enrolment number, name, address, programme title, course code, course title, assignment code and Learner Support Centre code are the eight items the MJM booklets ask for on the first page, and a digit wrong in an enrolment number is the most common reason a correctly written bundle goes astray in the system rather than in the post.
Then hand it in and take the receipt. The booklets are explicit on this: obtain a receipt from the Study Centre for the assignments submitted and retain it, keep a photocopy of what you handed in, and insist that the evaluated assignments come back to you afterwards. Marks travel from the Centre to the Student Evaluation Division at IGNOU, New Delhi, and appear on your grade card from there. Shri Chakradhar Publication has no visibility into any part of that chain. 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.
What MAJEM Learners Add to the Same Order
The handwritten set answers the submission problem and nothing else, so most MAJEM orders arrive alongside something for the term-end paper, which is where the other 70 per cent sits. A learner working through the six first-year theory papers usually wants condensed notes as well, and the MAJEM study guides listed by course code cover the MJM titles in that table. Because the first year is shared, the important-question papers issued under the MAJMC heading are built on the identical MJM syllabus and are the right ones for a MAJEM first-year learner to revise from, which is a case where the label on the category is narrower than the courses inside it.
Learners who took the one-year exit, or who are heading towards it, sit on a different shelf again. The exit award is a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism and Mass Communication, so the PGJMC diploma study material and the PGJMC revision papers both cover courses a first-year MAJEM learner is already taking. Anyone comparing MAJEM with its sibling degree before re-registering will find the MAJDM digital-media titles useful, since MJM-023 appears in that programme too.
Two more routes are worth knowing about. Handwritten sets for programmes outside journalism sit in the general handwritten-assignment catalogue, which is where to go if you are ordering for a family member on a different degree. And if you would rather write the answers yourself and only want to understand how MNMP-101 and the project options are structured, the companion editorial article on how the MAJEM project work is organised covers that ground without selling you anything, though note the correction recorded in the warning box above about how it frames the two project codes.
What MAJEM Learners Ask Before They Pay
How many MAJEM assignments do I actually have to submit in the first year?
Six, if you count only the theory papers that carry a Tutor Marked Assignment question paper: MJM-020/120, MJM-021, MJM-022, MJM-023, MJM-024/124 and MJM-025. The booklets themselves disagree on the framing. The 2023 file says one assignment in each of the six theory courses; the 2024 and 2025 files say one in each of the eight courses, counting the two practicals you chose from MJML-220, MJML-221 and MJML-023. The practicals are assessed through their own manuals on eGyankosh rather than through the MJM assignment file, which is why only six question papers appear in that booklet.
My first-year booklet does not print a submission date. What do I go by?
Go by the file attached to your own code and, if it says nothing, by your Regional Centre. The 2025 file and the 2023 file both leave the due-date box holding an instruction to check the website. The 2024 MAJEM file printed 31st March for TEE June and 30th September for TEE December against every assignment, and the school’s 2026 bachelor’s file still prints that pair, so those are the dates SOJNMS works to. They are not, however, printed on your current paper, and this page will not present them as though they were.
Is MJM-020 the same course as MJM-120?
Yes. The 2025 booklet cover lists them as one dual code, MJM-020/120, and does the same for MJM-024/124. The July 2026 Common Prospectus prints only the newer numbers, MJM 120 and MJM 124, at 6 credits each. The 2023 and 2024 assignment files print only the older ones. Whichever appears on your registration slip and on the file you downloaded is the one to write on your cover page.
The current booklet cover says PGJMC and MAJMC. Does it still apply to me?
The six codes on that cover are the six a first-year MAJEM learner submits, and the 2024 edition of the same file named MAJEM explicitly alongside MAJMC and PGJMC. The 2025 edition dropped the MAJEM line from the cover without changing the codes. Since a cover-page applicability list is exactly the sort of thing that gets fixed silently, confirm with your Study Centre coordinator rather than assuming either way, and keep the download you used.
Can I just print a solved assignment PDF and hand that in?
No. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session; a handwritten assignment is those answers written out by hand on A4 and submitted in hard copy at the Study Centre. The MJM booklets describe a physical bundle handed to a coordinator against a receipt, and a printed model answer is not your own written work in any case. Use a reference file to understand the shape of an answer, then write your own, or order the writing as ink on paper.
What is the difference between what you sell here and the MAJEM solved assignments on this site?
Format and purpose. The solved-assignment catalogue is a soft-copy reference priced per course code, for learners who intend to write their own answers and want a worked model to write from. This product is the physical set: written by hand, stapled behind an IGNOU-format front page with the question paper, couriered to your address, at ₹320 per subject. They are separate products at separate prices and neither replaces the other.
Some MAJEM questions ask about my own district or my own newspaper. Can those be written for me?
They can be written, but you have to supply the specifics and you should read the result closely before signing the declaration. MJM-022 asks for a profile of a newsmaker from your locality with a photograph attached. MJM-024 asks you to collect five days of a newspaper you choose. The 2024 MJM-020 paper asks for a comparison across two outlets in an Indian language of your choosing. Send the district, the newspaper or the language you want used and the answer is built around it; leave it open and the answer will be generic in a way an evaluator can see.
I entered year two laterally from PGJMC. Which codes do I order?
The second-year set only: MNM-002, MJM-028, MJM-031, MNM-003 and MNM-004 for the theory papers, plus whichever practical and project you selected. Lateral entry into year two of MAJEM is open to learners who completed PGJMC at IGNOU with 40 credits after paying the internal credit-transfer fee, and those learners never sit the first-year MJM papers at all. Say so when you send your codes so the quote is not built on the first-year table.
Do you write MNMP-101 or the MJMP project as well?
Not through this product. MNMP-101 Project Work (Electronic Media) at 8 credits, MJMP-120 Major Project Work (Dissertation) at 6 and MJMP-022 Research Portfolio at 6 are project work, written to a project format with its own manual, not answers to an assignment question paper. MNMP-101 is compulsory and one of MJMP-120 or MJMP-022 is chosen alongside it. Project support is handled separately through the hard-copy project and synopsis catalogue linked above.
Are MAJEM assignments available in Hindi?
Not from IGNOU. Section 3.64 of the July 2026 Common Prospectus records the medium of instruction for MAJEM as English and lists no alternative. Hindi-medium MJM-020 material does circulate, but it belongs to MAJMC, which shares the identical first-year table and is offered in English, Hindi and Tamil. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price, and on MAJEM that is English.
I have a backlog from the 2023 or 2024 cycle. Same price?
Yes. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. Name the cycle as well as the code, because the MJM papers were reissued with entirely different questions in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and a backlog usually needs the paper that carried your questions rather than the newest file on the portal.
How long is one MAJEM assignment?
Each paper carries 100 marks with five questions of 20 marks each and an instruction to attempt each in about 500 words, so roughly 2,500 words per course code. The papers also print their own per-question counts that do not always match the blanket instruction: the 2024 MJM-020 assignment asks for 400, 500, 350, 500 and 400 words across its five questions. Six first-year codes therefore come to somewhere around 15,000 handwritten words.
Can I order one code instead of the whole year?
Yes. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. A single MJM-031 for a second-year learner and a full six-code first-year set are quoted the same way, at ₹320 per subject.
How soon will it reach me?
Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page. That is a policy rather than an evasion: courier timelines vary by destination and by season, and a number printed on a product page cannot know your address. Send your pin code with your codes and the position for that address is confirmed before anything is written.
Will the handwriting match across all six of my codes?
Yes, that is the default. Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge, and the same writer carries every code in the order so the bundle reads as one hand. If you order more codes later in the year, ask for the same writer and the earlier sample is reused.
Do I get the question paper with the answers?
Yes. A printed copy of the official MAJEM question paper for the code and cycle you named is stapled into each set behind the IGNOU-format front page, so the coordinator reads the questions and the answers out of the same bundle. The front page is included free with every order.
Where Every Line on This Page Came From
From the IGNOU Common Prospectus, July 2026. Section 3.64 supplied the programme description, the objectives, the modular structure, the 80-credit total with 40 credits a year, the sixteen-course statement, the nineteen printed code rows with their official titles, course types and credits, the eligibility line, the medium of instruction as English, the exit award as a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism and Mass Communication, the lateral-entry route into year two, the eGyankosh footnote covering practical and project manuals, and the named programme coordinator. Section 3.62 supplied the MAJMC table used to establish that the two first years are identical, and the spelling variant of the shared supervisor footnote. Section 8.28 supplied the PGDEME course list that overlaps MAJEM’s second year. Every credit column was added up independently against the stated total before the table was published here: 28 plus 12 in year one, 20 plus 6 plus 8 plus 6 in year two, 40 and 40, totalling 80.
From live IGNOU assignment files. Three were opened rather than one, because a single file cannot show whether an oddity is the school’s habit or that file’s slip, and a fourth was opened from the same school for comparison. The January and July 2024 MAJEM first-year file supplied the printed 31st March and 30th September dates, the three-programme cover, the eight-course instruction, the MJM-020/ Jan.24/ July24 code format, the Assignment 01 to 06 numbering, the 100-mark and 30 per cent weightage line, the five-question structure, the per-question word counts, the coordinator signature and the five identifiers to write on the first page. The January and July 2025 MJM-022 file supplied the cover that omits MAJEM, the MJM-020/120 and MJM-024/124 dual notation, the Cycle-suffixed code format and the due-date box holding an instruction. The 2023 MAJEM first-year file supplied the six-theory-course instruction, the MJM-020/Jan23/July23 format and the second coordinator name. The school’s 2026 BNM-029 file was opened to confirm that SOJNMS still prints the 31st March and 30th September pair elsewhere. The official IGNOU programme page for MAJEM and the assignment download service are where to check your own current file.
From this publisher’s own commercial terms. The ₹320 per subject rate, hard copy only, courier included with no separate shipping charge, the free IGNOU-format front page, the included question paper copy, the handwriting match from your own sample at no extra charge, the absence of a minimum order, the acceptance of any session including backlogs, and the refusal to print a delivery figure are all Shri Chakradhar Publication’s terms. They are not IGNOU rules and should never be read as such. The two conflicts marked in-house in the warning box above are this publisher’s own errors, recorded here because a page that only reported other people’s contradictions would be the less trustworthy document.
