IGNOU PGDCOUN Handwritten Assignment: MSW-001 and MSW-012 to MSW-016 From Two MSWC Booklets

What Six PGDCOUN Envelopes Contain When the Courier Arrives

A full PGDCOUN order is six separate subject sets, one per MSW code, packed together in a single parcel. Each set is a self-contained bundle you can hand in without opening any other: the answers in your matched handwriting, a front page laid out in the IGNOU format, and a printed copy of the question paper those answers respond to. Keeping the six bundles apart matters for this diploma in particular, because the questions come from two different MSWC booklets and a study centre clerk who sees an MSWC heading on a paper needs to see your PGDCOUN enrolment on the cover sheet beside it.

The answer pages follow the question sequence printed on IGNOU’s own paper: question 1 and question 2 as full essays, then the two medium answers of question 3, the four shorter answers of question 4 and the five notes of question 5. Every answer begins on a fresh page, which is the instruction the School of Social Work prints in the Dear Learner letter of each counselling booklet. The front page carries the fields IGNOU asks for, left for you to complete where they are personal: your enrolment number, your study centre code, and your signature on the declaration.

What is not in the envelope is just as specific. There is no field work journal for MSWL-011, no internship record, no soft-copy file and no download link. No soft copy or PDF is sold. If the parcel contains five sets and you ordered six, or a set answers a 2025-26 paper when you asked for 2026-27, the mismatch is visible on the attached question paper itself, which is why that copy travels with every subject.

The ₹320 Rate on a Thirty-Six-Credit Counselling Diploma, Line by Line

The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge. PGDCOUN carries 36 credits in the Common Prospectus July 2026, but only 24 of them sit in papers that have an assignment, so the bill is counted in subjects rather than credits: six theory codes at ₹320 each comes to ₹1,920 for a complete year. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. A learner who owes only MSW-014 and MSW-016 pays ₹640, and a learner who owes only MSW-001 pays ₹320.

Inside the ₹320 sit the written answers, the matching of the hand to your sample, the IGNOU-format front page, the copy of the question paper and the courier to your address. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.

Outside the ₹320 sit the things only you or IGNOU can do. Your field work under MSWL-011 is completed with the Field Work Supervisor your study centre allots, and its journal is yours to keep. The physical submission at the study centre, the receipt you should collect there, the term-end examination form and the examination itself are all outside this order. Assignments carry 30 per cent of the final course result and the term-end examination carries the remaining 70 per cent. The set covers only that first share, and what happens in the examination hall is yours.

Model-Answer File or Signed Pages: Which One a PGDCOUN Study Centre Takes

Two different products are sold under similar names for the same MSW codes, and PGDCOUN learners mix them up more than most, because the store’s per-code files for MSW-012 to MSW-016 carry the word PGDCOUN in their titles. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session, read on a screen or printed for study. A handwritten assignment is those answers written out by hand on A4 and submitted in hard copy at the study centre. One is something to learn from; the other is the thing a study centre counter receives.

On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to see every column.

IGNOU’s own wording settles which one goes in. Both 2026-27 counselling booklets read for this page, the MSWC first-year file and the MSWC second-year file, state that assignments are to be handwritten and duly signed before their submission in the Study Centre. A printed model answer, however accurate, is typed text with no signature from you, and nothing in either booklet allows it. If you want the reference file to study from and to write your own answers, the store’s PGDCOUN solved assignment shelf is the place for it, and this page does not sell one.

MSW-001 Plus MSW-012 to MSW-016: The Theory Papers Behind 24 Credits

The Common Prospectus July 2026 prints PGDCOUN at section 8.55 under the School of Social Work, with six theory courses at 4 credits each and one practicum at 12 credits. The arithmetic was checked before the table below was trusted: 6 × 4 + 12 = 36, which matches the total the prospectus states. Five of the six theory courses are the second-year counselling courses of the MSWC degree; the sixth, MSW-001, is the opening course of every IGNOU social work master’s programme.

On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to see every column.

All six are compulsory. PGDCOUN has no electives, no project and no dissertation, so two learners admitted in the same cycle owe exactly the same six papers. What differs between learners is the cycle: a learner admitted in July 2025 who has not yet submitted MSW-013 owes the 2025-26 MSW-013 questions, not the 2026-27 ones, and the two papers do not ask the same things.

The MSWC first-year file lists five courses on its cover: MSW-001, MSW-002, MSW-005, MSW-008 and MSW-009. Only MSW-001 belongs to PGDCOUN. The other four are MSWC year-one courses, and a diploma learner who writes them has written papers that no PGDCOUN enrolment carries. The second-year file is a closer fit, since its five codes are exactly MSW-012 to MSW-016, but its letter still welcomes you to MSWC rather than to the diploma.

MSWL-011: Twelve Practicum Credits With No Question Paper

One third of PGDCOUN, 12 of its 36 credits, sits in a single course with no assignment at all. MSWL-011 Social Work Practicum is the diploma’s field work, completed under a Field Work Supervisor allotted at the study centre and recorded in a field work journal. The PGDCOUN booklets of 2018-19 and 2024-25 list only the six theory codes on their covers, and neither the 2026-27 MSWC first-year file nor the second-year file contains any paper for MSWL-011.

On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to see every column.

The code itself is a PGDCOUN signature. A text search of the Common Prospectus July 2026 finds MSWL-11 exactly once, inside section 8.55, and nowhere in the MSWC, MSW or BFSW tables. So even though PGDCOUN borrows its theory papers and its booklets from MSWC, its practicum record is its own, and a learner comparing notes with an MSWC friend will find no MSWL-011 on that friend’s record. The 2018-19 PGDCOUN booklet adds one practical instruction that still holds in substance: field practicum is to be done only under a professionally qualified social worker with an MSW or MA in Social Work, provided through your study centre.

Nothing on this page writes, completes or signs any part of MSWL-011. Shri Chakradhar Publication prepares the six theory assignments only.

Sixteen Places the PGDCOUN Record Contradicts Itself

Reading the prospectus, the IGNOU programme page, two IGNOU assignment hosts, eight assignment files across seven cycles and this store’s own shelves against each other produced sixteen disagreements. Thirteen concern IGNOU’s documents or what is reported about them, and three are on this store. They are listed so that you can check your own copy against them rather than discover them at the study centre.

Items 14 to 16 are the publisher’s own errors and are being corrected at source. Disclosing them here is deliberate: a page that hides its own inconsistencies gives you no reason to trust what it says about IGNOU’s.

31 March 2027 and 30 September 2027 on a Booklet Headed MSWC

Both 2026-27 counselling files print the same block, headed Last Date of Submission of Assignments to the Study Centre: July 2026 session, 31 March 2027; January 2027 session, 30 September 2027. That is the School of Social Work pattern, a March date for a July start and a September date for a January start. It is not the 31 October and 30 April pairing the School of Management Studies prints, so a date copied from an MBA or MCOM page does not apply to a PGDCOUN paper.

On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to see every column.

The questions change every cycle, which is the real reason the date and the booklet travel together. The 2025-26 MSW-012 paper opened with moral development in infancy and childhood; the 2026-27 MSW-012 paper opens with prenatal environmental factors and biological development. A set written to last year’s questions answers a paper IGNOU has already replaced. When you message an order, the admission cycle on your enrolment record decides which file is written from, and if your submission is for a cycle whose date has already passed, ask your study centre or Regional Centre which paper they will now accept before you order.

No TMA String, Only a Course Code: Filling the PGDCOUN Front Page

Many IGNOU schools print an assignment code such as MMPC-001/TMA/JULY/2026 at the head of each paper. The School of Social Work does not. Each 2026-27 counselling paper prints ASSIGNMENT, then a line reading Course Code: MSW-012 (or the relevant code), then Total Marks: 100, and nothing else that identifies the assignment. There is no TMA number, no session string and no programme code in the paper header.

That leaves the front page to carry the identification, and for PGDCOUN two fields need care. Write the course code exactly as the paper prints it, with the leading zero, so MSW-012 rather than the MSW-12 your prospectus shows. And write the programme as PGDCOUN, not MSWC, even though the question paper above it says MSWC: your enrolment is in the diploma, and the cover sheet is how the study centre files your paper against the right record. Where the front page asks for an assignment number, the course code is what the School of Social Work gives you to write. The free front page in each set is laid out with these fields so that you only add what is personal to you.

A Counselling Set in a Hand Copied From Your Own 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 match is confirmed with you on WhatsApp before you pay, so the first thing that happens on any PGDCOUN order is agreement on the hand, not payment.

The counselling papers make the match more visible than most, because a full year is long. Thirteen answers per paper across six papers is 78 answers, and if every answer ran to the length IGNOU prints, one paper alone would come to roughly 2,900 words: two essays of up to 600 words, two answers of about 300, four of about 150 and five notes of about 100. A hand that drifts over that length is noticeable to anyone who has seen your earlier work, which is why the sample matters more than any description of it.

The single page worth photographing before a PGDCOUN order

Choose a full page of continuous English or Hindi prose in the language you want the set written in, written recently, in the pen you normally use, on lined paper. A page of notes with headings and short lines tells the writer less than a page of ordinary sentences. Photograph it flat, in daylight, with the whole page in frame and no shadow across the lines. One clear page is enough; a second only helps if your hand changes noticeably when you write fast.

English or Hindi, Old Cycles and Re-Attempted MSW Papers

PGDCOUN is offered in English and Hindi, and the June 2025 and December 2025 MSW-015 term-end papers print both languages in one booklet. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. Before ordering a Hindi set, check one thing: as item 9 above records, a Hindi counselling booklet for 2025-26 or 2026-27 did not surface during the research for this page, so confirm with your study centre which Hindi paper they have issued for your cycle, and send a photo of its first page with your order.

Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. For PGDCOUN that covers three situations: a learner re-registered after missing a cycle, a learner who owes one paper from an earlier year, and a learner whose earlier submission was not recorded. In each case the cycle you are submitting against decides the booklet: the PGDCOUN-headed files for cycles up to 2024-25, the MSWC-headed files from 2025-26 onward. An older cycle is no harder to write for, but it does need you to say which cycle it is, because the questions are not the same from year to year.

The Five Items a PGDCOUN Order Message Needs

A PGDCOUN order needs five pieces of information and nothing beyond them. Send them in one WhatsApp message to +91 93546 37830 and the quote comes back on the same thread.

1. The MSW codes you owe, from MSW-001, MSW-012, MSW-013, MSW-014, MSW-015 and MSW-016.
2. Your admission cycle, for example July 2026, as it appears on your enrolment record.
3. The medium you want the set in: English or Hindi.
4. A photo of one page of your own handwriting.
5. Your delivery address with pin code.

Your enrolment number and study centre code are not needed to write the set, and you can add them to the front page yourself. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.

Between Unsealing the Parcel and the Study Centre Counter

When the parcel arrives, count six bundles if you ordered six, and check each against the question paper clipped to it: the course code, the session in the paper’s heading and the questions themselves. For PGDCOUN, the MSW-001 bundle should carry an MSWC first-year paper and the other five should carry the MSWC second-year paper of the same cycle. If any bundle answers a different cycle from the one on your enrolment, say so on the same WhatsApp thread before you submit anything.

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. For the counselling papers that reading doubles as examination preparation: the December 2025 MSW-015 term-end paper asked for a note on the right of informed consent, and the 2026-27 MSW-015 assignment asks for a note on the same idea, printed there as Informed Concern.

Submit at the study centre allotted to you, before the date printed for your cycle, and keep the receipt the centre gives you. The 2026-27 counselling letters read for this page direct submission to the Study Centre and describe no online upload route. Keep a photocopy of each paper before you hand it in.

Shelves PGDCOUN Learners Open Next on This Store

Learners who order the six theory papers usually need study material for the term-end examination next. The store’s PGDCOUN study books shelf under diploma programmes carries course-wise guides, and the six codes are also bundled as a combined MSW 1 to MSW 16 book set. A second shelf, social work counselling titles across programmes, overlaps with it, as item 15 above notes.

Because PGDCOUN sits the same MSW-012 to MSW-016 examinations as MSWC, the MSWC revision shelves apply to you as well: guess papers written for the MSWC counselling codes and solved term-end papers from earlier MSWC sessions. If you go on to the two-year degree, the handwritten set for the full MSWC degree covers its ten theory codes, and the MSW degree’s own handwritten product covers the general social work programme that shares MSW-001 with you.

If your enrolment is actually in PGDCFT, the Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Family Therapy, you are in a different programme from a different school with different codes; the PGDCFT books shelf is the right starting point. For papers outside these programmes, the full handwritten assignment catalogue lists every programme product, and the made-to-order set for any code and session handles a code no programme page lists.

If you would rather write all six papers yourself, the sister site ignouproject.com keeps a PGDCOUN programme guide on ignouproject.com with the structure and admission details.

Questions Diploma Counselling Learners Raise Before Paying

PGDCOUN ka 2026-27 assignment kahan milega, booklet par toh MSWC likha hai?

On the School of Social Work assignment path of ignou.ac.in, in two files headed Master of Social Work Counselling. The first-year file holds MSW-001 and the second-year file holds MSW-012 to MSW-016. Neither names PGDCOUN, because IGNOU stopped posting a PGDCOUN-headed booklet after 2024-25, but those are the current papers for your six codes.

The MSWC first-year file lists five courses. Do I write all five?

No. Of MSW-001, MSW-002, MSW-005, MSW-008 and MSW-009, only MSW-001 is a PGDCOUN course. The other four are MSWC year-one courses that your diploma does not include.

How many PGDCOUN assignments are due in one cycle?

Six: one each for MSW-001, MSW-012, MSW-013, MSW-014, MSW-015 and MSW-016. At ₹320 per subject that is ₹1,920 for the full set, and you can order fewer if you have already written some.

Is there an assignment for MSWL-011 Social Work Practicum?

No. MSWL-011 carries 12 credits through field work under a supervisor allotted by your study centre, and no PGDCOUN or MSWC booklet read for this page contains a question paper for it. This store does not write the field work journal.

I was admitted in July 2026. What is my PGDCOUN last date?

31 March 2027, as printed on both 2026-27 counselling booklets. A January 2027 admission has until 30 September 2027. Check ignou.ac.in for any notice issued after these booklets were posted.

My January 2026 booklet says 30 September 2026. Has that date moved?

News sites report that IGNOU extended submissions for the December 2026 examination, some to 31 October 2026 and some to 20 November 2026. This page has not seen the notice, so ask your study centre what it is still accepting before you order a 2025-26 paper.

PGDCOUN ke liye solved file kaafi hai ya haath se likha set chahiye?

A solved assignment is a typed model-answer file for one MSW code and session, meant to study and write from. A handwritten set is the six PGDCOUN papers already written in a hand matched to yours, ready for you to review, sign and submit at your study centre.

Can I print an MSW-015 solved PDF and hand that in?

The 2026-27 counselling booklets state that assignments are to be handwritten and duly signed before submission at the study centre. A printout is neither, so it is not what the booklet asks for.

What goes in the assignment code box, since my paper has no TMA number?

The School of Social Work prints only the course code on each paper, for example Course Code: MSW-014. Write that code, with its leading zero, and write PGDCOUN as your programme on the front page.

My prospectus says MSW-12 but the paper says MSW-012. Which one is right?

They are the same course. Use MSW-012, the form printed on the question paper and on IGNOU’s PGDCOUN programme page, so the front page matches the paper it covers.

Is a Hindi-medium PGDCOUN set available?

Yes, at the same ₹320 per subject. Because no Hindi counselling booklet for 2025-26 or 2026-27 was found online during research for this page, send a photo of the Hindi paper your study centre has issued with your order.

How many answers does one PGDCOUN paper need?

Thirteen. Questions 1 and 2 are either-or essays of up to 600 words, question 3 asks for two of four answers, question 4 for four of six and question 5 for five of eight short notes, each question carrying 20 of the paper’s 100 marks.

I still owe MSW-014 from the 2024-25 PGDCOUN booklet. Can that be written now?

Yes, older cycles are written at the same rate. Say which cycle you are submitting against, because the 2024-25 MSW-014 questions are not the 2026-27 ones, and confirm with your study centre that it will accept that cycle’s paper.

I am enrolled in PGDCFT, not PGDCOUN. Is this the right page?

No. PGDCFT, the diploma in Counselling and Family Therapy, is a separate programme with its own codes and booklets. The six MSW papers on this page belong to PGDCOUN only.

Will a handwritten PGDCOUN set raise my MSW marks?

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.

Which Document Supplied Which Fact on This PGDCOUN Page

From the IGNOU Common Prospectus July 2026. The programme structure, course titles and credits come from section 8.55, printed on page 305, and were checked by summing the credits to the stated total of 36.
