About IGNOU MAFCS – Master of Arts (Folklore and Culture Studies)

IGNOU MAFCS Assignments Overview

In this Master of Arts (Folklore and Culture Studies) course, assignments play a massive role in your final score. Each assignment carries a 30% weightage toward your final grade, while the remaining 70% comes from the Term End Examination (TEE). You must submit all required Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs) before the TEE to be eligible to sit for the exams. Usually, there is one assignment for every course code in the MAFCS curriculum, and students need to secure at least the minimum passing marks in each to be declared successful.

The IGNOU academic cycle operates in two sessions: January and July. Depending on when you enrolled, you must download the specific assignment question paper valid for your session. For 2026, ensure you are looking at the papers marked for the current academic cycle. If you happen to miss a deadline or fail an assignment, you will have to download the fresh set of questions and resubmit them during the next available session to maintain your eligibility for the degree.

Your work must be entirely handwritten and original to ensure the best results. IGNOU takes plagiarism very seriously; copying answers directly from textbooks or other students’ work can lead to rejection or very low marks. These assignments are evaluated by your Study Centre coordinator, who looks for a clear understanding of the subject matter and a sincere effort in research. Marks obtained here are directly updated in your official grade card after the evaluation process is complete.

How to Submit IGNOU MAFCS Assignments

To submit your work, you must first write down all your answers clearly by hand on A4 size paper. On the very first page, which is the cover page, clearly write your enrollment number, name, full address, programme code (MAFCS), course code, and your study centre name and code. Once you have finished writing, arrange all your answer sheets in the correct sequence as per the question paper. It is a good practice to keep a photocopy of your completed work for your personal records before you submit the original set.

Depending on the instructions from your specific Regional Centre, you may need to submit your work physically at your assigned Study Centre or upload it digitally via an online portal. If you are submitting in person, always make sure to collect the submission receipt from the office as proof of delivery. This receipt is vital if there are any discrepancies in your marks later on. You can monitor the status of your marks on the IGNOU student portal once the evaluation period has passed.

For students appearing in the June TEE 2026, the submission deadline is typically in the months of March or April. For those appearing in the December TEE 2026, the deadline usually falls around September or October. However, these dates are often extended by the university. It is always best to finish your work early to avoid the last-minute rush and potential technical or logistical issues at the Study Centre.
