IGNOU PGDVS Handwritten Assignment: MVS-011 to MVS-014 in Hindi, Written Against the Latest Paper IGNOU Has Published

What a Four-Paper Vastushastra Order Weighs When It Arrives

A Vastushastra order is physically small and that surprises people. Four codes is the whole diploma, so even a learner ordering everything at once receives one courier packet rather than the stack a six-semester degree produces. Inside it, per code, are three things and one absence worth naming.

The first is the answer sheets. These are the responses to the questions printed on the booklet you downloaded for that code, written in Devanagari by hand, numbered to match the question numbers, with the enrolment number, name, address and date set out at the top of the first sheet in the order the booklet asks for, and the sheets tied together rather than loose. The second is a front page in IGNOU’s own format, filled in against your particulars, free with every order. The third is a copy of the official question paper the answers were written against, which exists so that the counter clerk, and later the evaluator, can see that the answers match the live paper and not a paper from a closed cycle.

The absence is the one people ask about most. No soft copy or PDF is sold. There is no scan in your inbox afterwards, no emailed version for an online upload portal, and no download link. What is sold is paper, written on, couriered to the address you give.

Shri Chakradhar Publication has worked with IGNOU distance learners since 2010 and runs its own printing press with a team of writers, which is why the writing is done in-house rather than brokered out, and why a Devanagari hand is available at all.

Breaking ₹320 Into Its Parts for a One-Year Diploma

The figure is flat and it is worth seeing what is folded into it, because on a four-code diploma the arithmetic is simple enough to check. The rate is ₹320 per subject, hard copy only, with courier included in that price and no separate shipping charge.

Inside the figure: the writing itself, the sheets written on, the IGNOU-format front page, the copy of the question paper, the handwriting match taken from your sample photograph, and the courier to your address. The service covers all mediums IGNOU issues the TMA paper in, at the same price. On this diploma that means a Devanagari hand at the same rate as anything else, and a 2022-23 MVS-012 costs exactly what a current one costs.

Outside the figure, and worth stating plainly: the university’s own programme fee, which the Common Prospectus July 2026 prints as Rs 6,700 a year charged year wise, has nothing to do with this and is paid to IGNOU. So does the trip to the study centre, which is yours to make, and the signature on the declaration, which is yours to give. Nothing here is a payment to IGNOU and nothing here is routed through the university.

Soft-Copy Vastu Answers and Inked Vastu Answers Serve Different Purposes

Two different PGDVS products exist and learners regularly buy the wrong one, because both are described in the same five words on half the sites that sell them. The distinction is worth setting out once, properly.

A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session. It is a PDF. You read it, you understand how the question has been approached, and you write your own answer from it. A handwritten assignment is the answers written out by hand and submitted in hard copy at the study centre. It is the submission itself.

Scroll sideways on a narrow screen. A solved assignment is a reference to write from and is not itself a submission.

What the PGDVS booklets themselves describe settles the question. Each of the four directs the learner to set out the enrolment number, name, address and date at the top of the first page of the answer sheets, to write the question number before each answer, to tie the sheets together, to keep a photocopy or photograph for themselves, and to hand the result to the study centre coordinator before the printed date. Three of the four add a foolscap-only instruction. Every one of those directions describes written sheets going across a counter. None of them describes a printout, and nothing in any of the four files authorises one.

So the honest scoping is this: a downloaded PGDVS model-answer file is a reference to write from, and it is not a submission. A learner who wants the reading material and intends to do the writing should go to the store’s PGDVS solved-assignment shelf for the Vastushastra codes, which is where that product lives and where it is priced per code. This page does not sell one and does not pretend to.

MVS-011 to MVS-014: Thirty-Two Credits, Eight Credits a Paper

The structure here is unusually clean for IGNOU. There are no electives, no specialisation streams, no project course and no exit award to work around. Four courses at eight credits each, thirty-two credits, one year minimum and three years maximum, with intakes in January and July. Eligibility is a bachelor’s degree or a higher degree in any subject from a recognised university, which means the cohort on a Vastushastra record is mixed in a way a specialist diploma’s is not.

Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen. Titles in the middle column are the prospectus wording; the English column is the wording IGNOU prints on its own term-end papers.

The arithmetic checks. Four papers at eight credits is thirty-two, and the prospectus prints thirty-two as the total, so the extracted table is not suffering the column bleed that affects adjacent programme tables in the same document.

One thing the table does quietly. The prospectus for this diploma is printed in Hindi and gives Hindi titles only; the English titles in the right-hand column are not a translation made here, they are the titles IGNOU prints on its own term-end question papers for these codes. That is why MVS-012 appears as Grihapinda Vichar evam Griharambha rather than as an English rendering: that is what IGNOU itself puts on the cover. Where an English title could not be found on an IGNOU document it would not appear at all, and you should still read your exact codes off your admission record rather than off any table, here or elsewhere.

Twelve Live MVS Codes, Four of Them on a Vastushastra Record

This is the single most common way a Vastushastra order goes wrong, and it has nothing to do with the learner. IGNOU uses the MVS prefix for two entirely different School of Humanities programmes. MVS-011 to MVS-014 are Vastushastra. MVS-001 to MVS-008 are the master’s in Vedic Studies, sixty-four credits across two years, a different subject with a different syllabus. The Common Prospectus July 2026 names the same programme coordinator for both, which is presumably how the prefix came to be shared.

Scroll sideways on a narrow screen. None of these eight codes belongs on a Vastushastra diploma record.

Eight at eight credits is sixty-four, matching the figure the prospectus prints for that programme, so both tables on this page have been checked against their stated totals rather than trusted on sight. Twelve live MVS codes exist in total and four of them are yours.

The practical consequence: a search for an MVS handwritten set will find Vedic Studies material as readily as Vastushastra material, and the two are not interchangeable at any price. If your record carries eight codes rather than four, the Vedic Studies written set covering MVS-001 to MVS-008 is the page you want instead of this one. Decide from the programme code on your admission record, never from the course prefix.

Nineteen Points Where the PGDVS Paper Trail Will Not Line Up

Everything in this box was found by opening IGNOU’s own files and reading them against each other. It is listed in full because a learner who knows where the record disagrees with itself can ask their Regional Centre a precise question instead of a vague one. Two of the nineteen are this publisher’s own errors, and they are numbered alongside the rest rather than tucked away.

A July Intake Due in April and a January Intake Due in October

Deadlines on this diploma are printed on the booklet, they are specific to the School of Humanities, and they run in the opposite direction to the ones most IGNOU learners have heard quoted. On the July 2024 and January 2025 set, all four PGDVS booklets print 30 April 2025 against the July 2024 intake and 31 October 2025 against the January 2025 intake. The 2023-24 set before it printed the same pair shifted back a year: 30 April 2024 and 31 October 2024.

Compare that with the School of Management Studies, where 31 October belongs to the July session and 30 April to the January one. Same two calendar dates, opposite assignment. A Vastushastra learner who takes a management learner’s word for it, or an aggregator’s summary of the university-wide position, will plan around the wrong one.

The harder fact is the one in the conflict box. Both dates printed on the newest published PGDVS set are now behind us, and IGNOU has not put a 2025-26 or 2026-27 PGDVS file on its index. What IGNOU’s assignment booklets say across programmes is that the latest paper on the website is the one to answer, whatever year a learner registered in. On this diploma that paper is the 2024-25 one, and its printed dates have expired with it. The booklets also note that submission dates can be extended, and that the university website is where an extension would appear. So the only safe sequence is to download the current file for your code, write against it, and confirm the live cut-off with your Regional Centre rather than with any page, including this one. Papers on this programme expire and are replaced cycle by cycle, which is exactly why the question paper you send travels back with the set.

Copying MVS-012/2024-25 Off a Page Printed in a Broken Font

The assignment code is the string that tells the study centre which paper of which cycle a set answers, and PGDVS prints it in a shape many learners have never seen. There is no TMA token in it. A School of Management Studies cover reads MMPC-001/TMA/JULY/2026; a Vastushastra cover reads MVS-012/2024-25. Course code, separator, session span, and nothing else.

Then the font gets in the way. IGNOU typesets these booklets in a legacy Devanagari font, and the separator does not survive it consistently. The 2024-25 MVS-011 and MVS-012 files come through cleanly. MVS-013 and MVS-014 of the same set, and MVS-011 of the 2023-24 set, come through with substituted characters where the slash and the hyphen belong, which is why a learner who copies and pastes from the PDF ends up with a code string full of punctuation that is not in the printed document at all.

What to do with that is simple. Read the code off the page as it is printed and write it in the course-code, slash, session-span form on the front page. Do not reconstruct it from another learner’s cover sheet, do not add a TMA number that is not there, and do not treat the broken characters as part of the code. A set logged under a code string that does not exist is harder to trace on the status page later than one logged under a slightly old session.

One Photographed Page Fixes the Hand for All Four Papers

Send a photo of a page you have written yourself and the handwritten set is matched to your handwriting at no extra charge. On a four-code diploma that single photograph does more work than it would on a degree: the same writer takes all four papers, so the hand stays consistent across the whole submission rather than drifting between semesters.

Devanagari makes the match both harder and more visible. Matra placement, the headline stroke, how far conjuncts are compressed and whether numerals are written in Devanagari or roman are all individual, and all obvious on a page. That is why the sample comes before payment rather than after it. You see the hand your sheets will be written in before any money moves, which removes the risk a learner is usually asked to carry.

Which page to photograph when your notes carry Sanskrit quotations

Pick a page of ordinary running Hindi that you wrote in one sitting, in the pen you normally use, on ruled paper, photographed square-on in daylight with the whole sheet in frame. Half a page is enough. Avoid a page that is mostly Sanskrit verse quotations copied out carefully, because a quotation written slowly is not how the same person writes a paragraph of their own, and a set matched to the careful version will not look like the rest of your coursework.

A Diploma With One Medium and No English Option

The Common Prospectus July 2026 lists Hindi as the medium of instruction for this diploma and offers nothing beside it. That is not a preference, it is the programme’s only medium, and the assignment booklets follow it: all four are issued in Hindi.

Where the confusion comes from is the term-end question paper, which is printed bilingually. Open the December 2024 or June 2025 MVS-011 paper and the English version of each question sits above the Hindi version on the same sheet. A paper being bilingual is not the same thing as a programme being bilingual, and nothing on IGNOU’s PGDVS record authorises an English submission. If your Hindi reading is stronger than your Hindi writing, the right move is to ask your own study centre what it will accept before you plan anything, because the study centre is the authority on that and this page is not.

Session coverage is broader than medium coverage. Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. That matters here because a one-to-three-year diploma produces a steady trickle of learners finishing with one code outstanding from a cycle that closed two years ago, and because the 2022-23 PGDVS files sit in a different folder on IGNOU’s server from the 2024-25 ones. Send the booklet you actually downloaded and the question of which cycle it belongs to answers itself.

The Five Lines That Price a Vastushastra Order

A quote needs five things and nothing beyond them. Anything else slows the reply down rather than speeding it up.

• The MVS code numbers you want written, from MVS-011, MVS-012, MVS-013 and MVS-014.
• The session printed on the booklet you downloaded, or the booklet itself as a file.
• Your name exactly as it is spelled on your IGNOU record, and your enrolment number.
• Your study centre code and the full postal address with the pin code.
• One photograph of a page in your own handwriting.

What is not needed: your admission fee receipt, your grade card, your identity proof, or any payment before the handwriting sample has been seen and the quote agreed. Delivery depends on your pin code and is confirmed for your order before you pay. No figure is promised on this page.

Four Checks Worth Making Before the Bundle Leaves Your House

You sign the declaration on the assignment cover page, so you should read and review the content before submitting it, and satisfy yourself that it represents your own understanding of the course. That sentence is the reason for this section, and it is not a formality.

First, read the answers. Not to proofread the spelling, but to check that you could defend what is on the page if the counter clerk or a tutor asked you about it. Second, check that the code string and the session on the front page match the booklet in the packet and the record on your admission letter. Third, count the answers against what your own booklet asks for, because the pool differs between codes on this diploma and four of six on MVS-011 is not four of seven on MVS-014. Fourth, confirm the paper size against your own cover: foolscap where the booklet says foolscap, and matched to the other three where MVS-011 says nothing.

Then it goes to the study centre coordinator, in person or by the route your centre prescribes, and you keep the receipt. Keep a photocopy or a photograph of the sheets as well, which the booklets themselves ask for. The assignment status page updates on IGNOU’s own schedule afterwards, and it is slow in a way nobody warns you about. A receipt in your hand is worth more than a status line for the weeks in between.

The Other Three PGDVS Shelves, and the Gaps on Two of Them

This store carries four kinds of PGDVS material and it is more useful to say where the holes are than to pretend there are none. The Vastushastra study-material and guide-book shelf currently lists three titles against four codes, with no MVS-011 book on it. The PGDVS guess-paper listing shows four items, but two of them are both MVS-012 and none is MVS-011. Both gaps are in the correction queue for this build.

What is complete is the per-code reference material. All four codes have a model-answer file, so a learner who wants to write MVS-011 themselves can start from the MVS-011 model answers for the current Hindi-medium cycle, and the three published guide books cover the rest of the syllabus, beginning with the MVS-012 study guide on land evaluation and the start of construction. For revision close to the examination, the MVS-014 Hindi guess paper on temple, village and city Vastu targets the part of the syllabus that carries the heaviest twenty-mark questions.

Two neighbouring School of Humanities programmes come up often enough to name. MVS-011 asks directly about the relationship between Jyotisha and Vastu, so learners taking both subjects tend to look at the Jyotish master’s written sets across the eight MJY codes. Those working from the primary texts rather than the course material often pair the diploma with the Sanskrit master’s written sets. Learners carrying codes from several programmes at once, which the mixed eligibility on this diploma produces regularly, are better served by the open any-session written-set listing that takes code lists from more than one programme. The full catalogue of written sets by programme sits on the store’s handwritten-assignment index.

If you would rather write the sheets yourself from first principles, the editorial side of this publisher keeps a worked walkthrough of the whole process at ignouproject.com’s step-by-step handwritten assignment guide. There is no PGDVS-specific article there yet, which is also in the correction queue.

Sixteen Vastushastra Queries, Settled in Advance

Which MVS codes does a PGDVS handwritten order cover?

MVS-011, MVS-012, MVS-013 and MVS-014. Those four are the whole diploma at eight credits each, so a complete order is four subjects. Anything numbered MVS-001 to MVS-008 sits on the Vedic Studies master’s programme instead, and is quoted separately if your record genuinely carries it.

The newest PGDVS paper on IGNOU’s own index is the 2024-25 one and both its dates have gone. What gets written now?

The latest paper IGNOU has published for the code, which on this diploma is still the July 2024 and January 2025 booklet. IGNOU’s standing instruction across its assignment booklets is that the most recent paper on the website is the one to answer, whatever year a learner registered in. Send the booklet you downloaded along with the code so the set is written against that exact question list, and confirm the current cut-off with your Regional Centre before you submit.

Mera code MVS-011 hai, par MAVS wale bhi MVS likhte hain. Kaunsa programme mera hai?

Prefix dono ka ek hai, programme alag hai. Agar aapke record par MVS-011 se MVS-014 tak chaar code hain, aap PGDVS mein hain, jo ek saal ka battis credit ka diploma hai. Agar aath code hain, MVS-001 se MVS-008, to woh Vedic Studies ka master’s programme hai. Admission record par programme code likha hota hai, course code se mat decide kijiye.

Can a downloaded PGDVS solved assignment PDF be handed in at the study centre as it is?

No. A solved assignment is a soft-copy reference file of model answers for a course code and session; it is something to read and write from. The Vastushastra booklets direct the learner to hand in written answer sheets with the enrolment number, name, address and date on the first page, tied together, to the study centre coordinator. A printed file is not what that instruction describes.

Solved assignment aur handwritten assignment mein PGDVS ke liye kya farak hai?

Solved assignment ek PDF hai: model answers, jisse aap padh kar khud likhte hain. Handwritten assignment woh likha hua set hai jo counter par jama hota hai, aapki apni likhaai mein, Devanagari mein, foolscap par jahan booklet foolscap maangti hai. Pehla reference hai, doosra submission hai. Dono ek hi cheez ke do format nahin hain.

Is a typed or printed Vastushastra answer set accepted anywhere on this diploma?

Nothing in the four PGDVS booklets describes a typed submission. Each one asks for answer sheets written out with the learner’s particulars on the first page and a photocopy or photograph kept, and three of the four add a paper-size instruction, which only makes sense for written sheets. Your own study centre is the authority on what it will take, so ask there before printing anything.

My MVS-011 booklet prints no paper size but my MVS-013 booklet says foolscap. Which is written on what?

Each code is written to what its own cover says, because the four booklets of the same 2024-25 set do not agree. MVS-012, MVS-013 and MVS-014 all carry a foolscap-only instruction. MVS-011 carries no paper-size line at all, in the 2024-25 booklet and in the 2023-24 booklet before it. For MVS-011 the safe reading is to match the other three rather than invent a size.

Why does my MVS-011 paper ask for any four of six in Part 2 when my MVS-014 paper asks for any four of seven?

Because the pools genuinely differ. Part 1 is identical across all four codes: any four of six questions at fifteen marks, sixty marks in total. Part 2 is four answers at ten marks on every code, but the pool they are chosen from is six on MVS-011 and seven on MVS-012, MVS-013 and MVS-014. The number answered never changes; only the number offered does.

What goes in the assignment code box when the code on my booklet has no TMA in it?

Whatever the booklet prints, copied character for character. PGDVS does not use the TMA token that School of Management Studies papers carry. The string on these covers is the course code, a separator, and the session span, so MVS-012/2024-25 rather than MVS-012/TMA/JULY/2024. Inventing a TMA number to make it look like a friend’s cover sheet is how a set gets logged against the wrong course.

The code on my MVS-013 PDF reads MVS-013 @2024&25. Is that the real code?

No, that is IGNOU’s legacy Hindi font failing to render the separator. The same thing happens on MVS-014 and on the 2023-24 MVS-011 file, while the 2024-25 MVS-011 and MVS-012 files come through cleanly as MVS-011/2024-25. Read the code off the printed page rather than off a copy-paste, and write it in the course-code-slash-session form.

Is 30 April or 31 October my date, and why is it the opposite of what my MBA friend was told?

On the 2024-25 PGDVS set, 30 April 2025 is printed against the July 2024 intake and 31 October 2025 against the January 2025 intake. School of Management Studies papers print the same two dates the other way round, 31 October for a July intake and 30 April for a January one. Both are correct for their own school. Deadlines on this diploma are read off the Vastushastra booklet and nowhere else, and both dates on the newest published set have already passed.

Can the answers be written in English if my Hindi is weak?

The prospectus lists Hindi as the medium of instruction for this diploma and gives no English option, and the assignment booklets are issued in Hindi. The term-end question paper is printed in English and Hindi both, which is where the confusion usually starts, but the paper being bilingual does not make the programme bilingual. Ask your study centre before you plan an English submission, because nothing on IGNOU’s PGDVS record authorises one.

Why does the term-end paper ask three big questions when the assignment asks four?

They are two different instruments with two different shapes. The June 2025 term-end papers set any three of six at twenty marks plus any four of eight at ten marks. The assignment sets any four of six at fifteen marks plus any four of six or seven at ten marks. Both total a hundred. A learner who revises only from the assignment is practising the wrong mark weighting for the examination.

Can one paper be ordered rather than all four?

Yes. There is no minimum order: one subject or fourteen, same rate. A single pending MVS code is an ordinary order on this programme, which is common here because the diploma runs one to three years and learners often finish with one paper outstanding.

I am clearing MVS-012 from the 2022-23 cycle. Does an older Vastushastra paper cost more?

Any session is accepted, current cycle or older, including backlog courses, at the same ₹320 per subject. Send the booklet you are answering against, because the 2022-23 PGDVS files sit in a different folder on IGNOU’s server and the MVS-011 file name in that year carries a stray character that breaks a direct link.

Will you say what marks the set will get?

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 can honestly be described is what is in the packet: answers written against the questions on your own booklet, the IGNOU-format front page, and a copy of that paper.

Four Documents Were Read, and They Do Not Carry Equal Weight

Three kinds of source sit behind this page and mixing them would be the easiest way to mislead someone, so they are kept apart.

IGNOU’s Common Prospectus July 2026, section 8.52. Source for the four course codes, the Hindi course titles, the eight credits a paper, the thirty-two-credit total, the one-year minimum and three-year maximum duration, the January and July intakes, the bachelor’s-degree eligibility, Hindi as the sole medium, the Rs 6,700 annual fee, and the sixty-four-credit Vedic Studies table that shares the MVS prefix. Credit totals in both tables above were summed and checked against the figures the prospectus itself prints.

Live IGNOU files, read on 14 November 2026. Four assignment booklets of the July 2024 and January 2025 set and the MVS-011 booklet of the July 2023 and January 2024 set, fetched from IGNOU’s own assignment index at the PGDVS assignment index page, are the source for the two submission dates, the code-string shape, the paper-size instructions, the question pools and the mark splits. The December 2024 and June 2025 term-end question papers are the source for the English course titles and the examination structure. The current files for any code should be downloaded from IGNOU’s assignment download service rather than taken from this page.

This publisher’s own commercial terms. The ₹320 per subject rate, hard copy only, courier included, the free IGNOU-format front page, the copy of the question paper, the handwriting match from a sample photograph, the absence of a minimum order and the absence of any promised delivery figure are Shri Chakradhar Publication’s own terms and are not IGNOU policy. Published and reviewed 14 November 2026. Next review is tied to the appearance of a 2025-26 or 2026-27 PGDVS assignment file on IGNOU’s index, and in any case before the next pair of printed Vastushastra cut-off dates.
