IGNOU PGDMCH Handwritten Assignment: MME-301, MME-302 and MME-303, AS-1 to AS-9 on Foolscap

Nine Answer Books Tied Separately: What Arrives for PGDMCH

A PGDMCH order is built around the nine assignment codes, not around the diploma as a single block. The School of Health Sciences tells you to answer each assignment on separate sheets, so a complete order arrives as nine individually tied answer books, three for each MME course, rather than three thick bundles. That matters at the counter: the person receiving them files each book against one assignment code, and a book that mixes AS-1 and AS-2 answers is a book that cannot be filed cleanly.

Inside each answer book you will find four things. The first is the handwritten response itself, on foolscap sheets that are numbered and tied, with the question number written beside each answer as the booklet instructs. The second is a front page in the layout the PGDMCH booklet prints, with the course code, course title, assignment code, programme study centre and date of submission on the left, and space for your roll number, name and full address at the top right. The third is a copy of the official 2026 question paper for that assignment, or for the older cycle you name. The fourth is nothing at all in digital form: the set exists only on paper.

No soft copy or PDF is sold.

The front page arrives blank where your personal details go. Shri Chakradhar Publication fills in what is printed on the IGNOU paper, such as the code and title, and leaves the enrolment number, roll number, address and signature for you, because those are yours to write and the declaration is yours to sign. A learner submitting at a Learner Support Centre that admits at most 30 PGDMCH students should expect the coordinator to recognise handwriting across the batch, which is one more reason the identity fields are left to you.

How ₹320 per Subject Is Counted When One MCH Course Sets Three Papers

The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge.

On PGDMCH each subject breaks into three separately coded papers. MME-301 alone carries AS-1, AS-2 and AS-3, one for Blocks 1 and 2, one for Blocks 3 and 4, and one for Blocks 5 and 6. Before you pay, the WhatsApp reply lists every assignment code your quote covers and the total for that list, so there is never a question afterwards about whether a figure meant one paper or one course. If you need only MME-302/AS-5 because the other two Reproductive Health papers were already submitted, say so and the quote is built around that single code.

There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate.

What the price includes is listed on the order: the handwritten answers, the IGNOU-format front page for each answer book, a copy of the question paper, tying and numbering, and the courier to your address. What it does not include is anything that IGNOU itself charges, such as the programme fee of Rs 30,000 and the Rs 500 registration fee the prospectus prints for this diploma, any examination form fee, or the practical work in MMEL-301 to MMEL-303, which no written set can replace.

Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.

Why an MME Solved PDF Cannot Stand In for a Foolscap Set

Two products are sold under almost the same words, and doctors juggling clinic hours with this diploma confuse them often enough that both need a definition here. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session, usually a PDF, that you read and then write from. A handwritten assignment is the answers written out by hand on paper and submitted in hard copy at your study centre. For PGDMCH the paper is foolscap, not A4, and that detail alone separates the two in practice.

The 2026 MME-301, MME-302 and MME-303 booklets each print the same instruction block: use only foolscap size paper for writing your responses, only handwritten assignments will be accepted, typed or printed copies of assignments will not be accepted, and tie the pages after numbering them carefully. The same lines appear in the 2023 and 2024 PGDMCH booklets. A downloaded model-answer file, however accurate, is therefore a reference to study from and not something that can be handed in at the LSC.

Swipe the table sideways on a phone to see all three columns.

If a reference file is what you are after, the store’s course-wise solved assignment section of the store is the place to search for MME codes; at the time of writing it has no shelf of its own for PGDMCH, which is noted in the conflict box below. This page sells only the handwritten set and does not supply a solved file.

Preventive MCH, Reproductive Health, Child Health: The 18 Credits Behind Every PGDMCH Paper

The IGNOU Common Prospectus July 2026 prints PGDMCH at section 8.57, under the School of Health Sciences, as a six-course, 36-credit diploma for MBBS graduates, taught in English only, admitted once a year in January, with a minimum duration of one year and a maximum of three. The prospectus explains the structure by discipline: Course 1 (MME 301) represents Community Medicine, Course 2 (MME 302) Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Course 3 (MME 303) Paediatrics, and each has a practical twin in MMEL 301, MMEL 302 and MMEL 303.

Swipe sideways to read the assignment-code column on a narrow screen.

The six credit figures add to 36, which matches the total the prospectus prints, so the table above has been checked against the stated figure rather than trusted on extraction. Titles are given exactly as the prospectus prints them. The hyphenated codes, MME-301 rather than MME 301, follow the assignment booklets, because the booklet form is the one that goes on your front page.

Each theory course is covered by six blocks of study material, and IGNOU sets one assignment for every two blocks. That is why a single subject produces three papers, and why the store prices against a code list instead of a semester. A doctor who passed MME-301 in an earlier cycle but still owes MME-302 and MME-303 needs six papers, not nine, and the quote reflects exactly that.

All nine 2026 papers share one question pattern. Question 1 asks for two long answers within 750 words each, marked 2 × 20 = 40. Question 2 asks for short notes within 300 words each, with the mark line printed as 10 × 6 = 60. The topics are clinical and programmatic in equal measure: MME-301/AS-1 asks about levels of prevention in MCH and the National Health Mission, and its short notes include MDSR and the RMNCH+A strategy; MME-302/AS-4 short notes run from preterm labour and PROM to Rh incompatibility, and AS-5 moves on to breech presentation and transverse lie; MME-303/AS-7 opens its short notes with the care of low birth weight babies and ends on the management of mild acute asthma. Taking the printed word limits as ceilings, eight of the nine papers can run to 4,500 words each and AS-7, which lists eight short notes instead of ten, to 3,900, roughly 39,900 words across a full 2026 order. Those are upper limits from the booklets, not word counts any set is written to.

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

On PGDMCH that split applies to the three theory courses. The booklet’s own letter puts it slightly differently, saying the assignments carry 30 per cent towards the final evaluation in the theory component, and it adds the line every PGDMCH learner should read twice: submission of the related assignments is a prerequisite for appearing in the theory term-end examination for each paper. The June 2026 and December 2025 MME-301 term-end papers are each set for three hours and 70 marks.

Log Books and Postings, Not Papers: MMEL-301, MMEL-302 and MMEL-303

Exactly half of PGDMCH by credit weight, eighteen of thirty-six, belongs to clinical practical courses, and not one of them generates a tutor-marked assignment. No PGDMCH booklet from 2022 to 2026 lists an MMEL code anywhere in its schedule: the nine rows are always MME-301, MME-302 and MME-303, two blocks at a time. If someone offers you an MMEL-302 assignment, ask which document they read it from, because it is not one of IGNOU’s.

The practical courses are assessed through work you do at your skill development centre and your log book, and through a term-end practical examination; the 2024 programme guide carries appendices for the practical examination form and the pattern of practical evaluation. The same guide adds one component that is easy to miss: a link to an e-IMNCI package is provided as part of MMEL-303, and you complete it online. None of that can be written for you, and Shri Chakradhar Publication does not offer it.

The store does keep a practical and internship section, and it has created category pages for MMEL 301, MMEL 302 and MMEL 303. All three were empty when this page was written, which is listed among the in-house points below rather than glossed over.

Fifteen Points Where PGDMCH Documents, and This Store, Fail to Agree

None of the fifteen points below is taken from another website’s summary: each surfaced when two PGDMCH documents, or one of them and this store, were laid side by side for this page. Check whichever item touches your own codes, and treat no single document, this page included, as final.

31 October 2026 on All Nine Rows, and a 15 October Footnote Beneath Them

On this diploma the deadline has moved between booklet years as well as between schools, so a date borrowed from a senior’s notes or from another SOHS programme is the likeliest one to be wrong. The School of Health Sciences issues PGDMCH assignments as a calendar-year set for the January intake. The 2026 files are headed Assignments 2026, carry no July or January session label, and give one last date for every paper.

Swipe sideways on a phone to compare the two booklet years.

Read the 2026 column with the footnote beside it. The asterisk on the Last Date of Submission heading leads to a single line saying all assignments can be submitted together before 15 October 2026. Nothing else on the paper explains why a combined submission would close a fortnight before the individual papers do, and in 2024 the two dates were the same. Until your LSC tells you otherwise, 15 October is the safer date to plan around and 31 October is the date the paper itself prints.

This page was written on 14 November 2026, after both dates had passed. If you are answering the 2026 set now, the question of whether your centre will still take it in, or whether you will be asked to write against the 2027 PGDMCH booklet once the School of Health Sciences publishes it, belongs to your LSC Coordinator or Programme In-charge and to nobody else. Shri Chakradhar Publication can write either cycle at the same rate, and the quote names the cycle on paper so that it matches the question paper you actually received.

Assignment papers expire. Each PGDMCH booklet is printed for a named year, the questions change from one year to the next, and the 2024 and 2026 MME-301/AS-1 papers ask different things under the same code. An answer book written to a superseded paper is an answer to the wrong questions, which is why every set ships with a copy of the exact paper it answers.

AS-1 to AS-9 Run Across Three Courses: Reading an MME-30X Code

Plenty of IGNOU papers fold the session into the code itself; the School of Management Studies, for one, writes the month and year after TMA. PGDMCH does not. Its code has two parts: the course code, then the letters AS and a number. The number runs continuously across the whole diploma rather than restarting in each course, so MME-301 holds AS-1 to AS-3, MME-302 holds AS-4 to AS-6 and MME-303 holds AS-7 to AS-9.

That numbering does two things worth knowing. It means a Child Health paper is never AS-1, so if a front page reads MME-303/AS-1 it has been filled in wrongly. And because the code carries no year, the only places the cycle appears are the booklet cover, which reads PGDMCH/AS 1-9 above the year, and the due date line on each paper. Write the date of submission on the front page and keep the question paper copy with the answer book; together they are what tells a coordinator which cycle you answered.

The 2026 code is printed in the same form on all three course files, and the 2022, 2023 and 2024 booklets use the identical pattern, so a backlog paper from any of those years is coded the same way. The front page that comes with each set carries the code exactly as the booklet prints it, with the hyphen and with no added session text.

An Obstetric and Paediatric Answer Set in Your Own Hand

Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge.

Nine answer books in a hand that looks nothing like the one on your case sheets is a problem you would have to explain, and on a diploma where the coordinator may also be the clinician supervising your skill development postings, it is more likely to be noticed than elsewhere. Matching is done from one photographed page before any writing starts. You see a short sample in the matched hand on WhatsApp, and nothing is paid until you have approved it.

Photographing a page when most of your writing is clinical shorthand

Choose a page of continuous prose, ideally a full side of foolscap or ruled paper, written at your normal speed with the pen you usually use. A page of clinical notes is fine if it includes complete sentences as well as abbreviations, because the way you write words like trimester, gestation and immunisation tells the writer more than a list of doses does. Photograph it flat, in daylight, with the whole page in frame and no shadow across the lines. Avoid prescriptions and anything carrying a patient’s name; a page from your own study notes is the safer choice.

One Medium, One Intake Month, and the Pre-Revision 200-Series

The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price.

For PGDMCH that is one medium. The prospectus gives the medium of instruction as English, the annexure lists the programme as English medium, and every PGDMCH booklet read for this page is in English. IGNOU issues no Hindi PGDMCH paper, so no Hindi set exists to be written; if you have been told otherwise, ask for the paper before ordering.

Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject.

PGDMCH admits only in January, so its cycles are named by calendar year rather than by July and January sessions. A learner who has used part of the three-year maximum duration may still owe a paper from the 2023 or 2024 booklet, and those are written against the questions of that year, with the matching question paper copy. The store’s customised order page for older sessions exists for exactly that situation, though a PGDMCH backlog can just as well be quoted directly through this page.

The older 200-series codes on eGyanKosh belong to the pre-revision diploma. If your admission record shows MME-201, MME-202 or MME-203, say so in your message: the code, the title and the question paper all have to match your record, and they cannot be assumed from the 300-series table above.

What a Medical Officer Types Into the Opening PGDMCH Message

Nothing about your patients or your hospital is needed; the message is short and administrative.

1. The assignment codes you still owe, for example MME-302/AS-4 to AS-6 and MME-303/AS-9, or simply all nine.
2. The booklet year you are answering, 2026 or an earlier one, and your year of admission.
3. A photo of one page of your own handwriting, as described above.
4. Your delivery pin code, so the courier position can be confirmed for your order before you pay.
5. Your LSC, only so that the front page carries the programme study centre exactly as you will write it.

Nothing else is asked for. Your enrolment number, roll number and signature stay with you and go on the front page in your own hand once the set arrives.

Nine Books on Your Desk: Review, Sign, Then the LSC Counter

When the packet arrives, open it before your submission week and count the answer books against your list. Each one should carry its own front page, its own question paper copy and pages numbered in order. Check the assignment code on every front page against the paper clipped to it, especially for the Child Health books, where AS-7, AS-8 and AS-9 are easy to swap.

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.

Reading the set is also preparation. The term-end theory paper for each MME course is a three-hour, 70-mark examination drawn from the same six blocks, and the assignment answers follow the booklet’s own topics closely: the National Health Mission and MDSR for MME-301, malpresentation and the third stage of labour for MME-302, neonatal care for MME-303. Mark anything you would phrase differently and change it in your own hand before you sign.

Fill in your enrolment number, roll number, name and full address at the top right of each front page, as the booklet asks, then tie the books if any have loosened in transit. Hand them to your LSC Coordinator or Programme In-charge, the recipients the 2026 booklet names, and ask for a receipt that lists the assignment codes. That receipt is the document that settles any later question about whether a paper reached the centre.

Guess Papers for Two of Three MME Courses, and Other Store Pages Worth Knowing

A PGDMCH learner needs more than nine answer books in a year, and the store’s shelves for this diploma are patchy. The PGDMCH guess paper shelf holds two products: the Preventive MCH guess paper for MME-301 and the MME-302 Reproductive Health guess paper. There is no Child Health guess paper yet, so MME-303 preparation has to come from the study blocks and past term-end papers. The wider set of guess papers for IGNOU diplomas sits one level up.

Two other School of Health Sciences programmes on the store are close relatives. Doctors who take a second clinical diploma often move to geriatrics, and the handwritten product for the Geriatric Medicine diploma follows the same school’s calendar-year pattern, though with its own dates. Those moving towards administration may want the MBA in Health Care and Hospital Management handwritten page. For any other programme, the store keeps handwritten assignment sets for every other IGNOU programme on one hub.

If you would rather write all nine papers yourself, the programme, its courses and its rules are set out on the ignouproject.com guide to PGDMCH at the School of Health Sciences, the publisher’s editorial site, and the 2026 papers themselves come from IGNOU’s own assignment download service.

PGDMCH Queries From Medical Officers and Private Practitioners

PGDMCH booklet mein har assignment ki last date 31 October likhi hai, par neeche 15 October bhi likha hai. Kaunsi date maanu?

Both are printed on the 2026 booklet. Every one of the nine rows and every assignment heading says October 31, 2026; the footnote under the schedule says all assignments can be submitted together before October 15, 2026. In 2024 the footnote date matched the last staggered date, so the 2026 line may be a template carry-over, but IGNOU has not confirmed that. Plan for 15 October if you can, and ask your LSC Coordinator which date your centre applies.

31 October 2026 nikal chuka hai. Ab mere PGDMCH assignments ka kya hoga?

Only your LSC Coordinator or Programme In-charge can say whether a 2026 set will still be received, or whether you should answer the 2027 booklet when the School of Health Sciences publishes it. Ask them first, in writing if possible. Either way, the set can be written at ₹320 per subject against whichever booklet year they name, and the quote states that year.

MME-303/AS-7 has only eight short notes but the mark line says 10 × 6 = 60. How many do I answer?

Answer all eight. The paper says answer all the questions, and it lists items a to h. Eight notes do not produce 60 marks at either 6 or 10 marks each, so the mark line is IGNOU’s to explain, not yours to correct. A handwritten set for AS-7 covers every printed item.

Which code does a Child Health answer book carry on its front page?

Write MME-303/AS-7 for Blocks 1 and 2, MME-303/AS-8 for Blocks 3 and 4 and MME-303/AS-9 for Blocks 5 and 6. PGDMCH numbers its nine papers continuously across the three courses, so Child Health never uses AS-1, AS-2 or AS-3. The code carries no session or year.

MME-302 ki solved PDF le li hai. LSC mein woh chalegi ya likha hua set dena padega?

The solved assignment is a typed reference file of model answers that you read and then write from yourself. The handwritten set is those answers already written by hand on foolscap, tied and numbered with a front page, ready for you to review, sign and submit. The PGDMCH booklet refuses typed or printed copies, so only the second kind can be handed in.

If I print out a model-answer PDF for Preventive MCH, will the LSC counter take it?

No. The 2026 MME-301 booklet says only handwritten assignments will be accepted and typed or printed copies will not be. A printed PDF is the very thing that line rules out, however good the content.

My hospital duties leave no time to write. Will the LSC take typed PGDMCH answers just this once?

Nothing in any PGDMCH booklet from 2023 to 2026 allows it, and no exception for working doctors is printed. If your centre has told you otherwise, ask for that in writing, because the booklet you answer says the opposite.

Foolscap or A4 for PGDMCH answer sheets?

Foolscap. The 2023, 2024 and 2026 PGDMCH booklets all say to use only foolscap size paper. This store’s general handwritten hub mentions A4; for PGDMCH that wording does not apply, and the sets are written on foolscap.

Are the three MMEL practicals or the online e-IMNCI work part of this order?

No assignment is set for any MMEL course in the booklets read for this page. The practicals are assessed through skill development postings, the log book and a term-end practical examination, and the 2024 programme guide places the online e-IMNCI package inside MMEL-303. None of that is something a written set can cover.

Is ₹320 the figure for MME-301 as a whole, or for each of AS-1, AS-2 and AS-3?

The rate is quoted per subject, and because each MME course sets three papers, the WhatsApp quote lists every assignment code it covers and the total before you pay. You will know whether the figure in front of you is for AS-1 alone or for AS-1 to AS-3 before anything is written.

Who receives PGDMCH assignments: the LSC Coordinator or the Programme In-charge?

The 2024 and 2026 booklets name both: submit to your LSC Coordinator or Programme In-charge only. The 2022 and 2023 booklets named the Programme-in-charge alone. Follow the booklet of the year you are answering and take a receipt listing the codes.

My study material says MME-201, not MME-301. Is this the right page?

MME-201 to MME-203 belong to the earlier PGDMCH that eGyanKosh still lists beside the revised 300-series. Send your admission record details; the set has to match the codes and the question paper on your record, so it is quoted against those rather than against the table on this page.

Agar mujhe English mein likhna mushkil lagta hai, toh PGDMCH answers Hindi mein chalenge?

Nothing in the PGDMCH paperwork provides for it. The prospectus gives English as the only medium of instruction, every 2026 MME paper is set in English, and no Hindi PGDMCH booklet exists, so the set is written in English. If your LSC has told you a Hindi answer book is acceptable, ask for that in writing before ordering.

What word limits do the PGDMCH papers set for long answers and short notes?

The booklet sets ceilings, not targets: the two long answers in Question 1 are within 750 words each, and each short note in Question 2 is within 300 words. Every one of the nine 2026 papers uses that pattern.

Does a handwritten PGDMCH set improve my result or make sure the centre takes it?

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.
