Dear Learner,
As we have informed you in the Programme Guide, evaluation at IGNOU consists of two
parts: i) continuous evaluation through assignments, and ii) term-end examination. In the
final result, assignments of a Course will carry 30% weightage (total 100 marks) while 70%
weightage is given for term-end examination.
BPCS 188 is a 4 credits course. You will have to do the Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA)
for the 4 credits theory component of the Course BPCS 188.
Assignment One has Descriptive Category Questions (DCQs). These are meant for writing
essay type answers, with an introduction and a conclusion. These are intended to test your
ability to describe your understanding/knowledge about the topic in a systematic, to-the-point
and coherent manner
Assignment Two has Short Category Questions (SCQs). These questions are meant to
improve your skill of recall in brief the relevant/precise information about persons, writing,
events, or clear understanding of concepts and processes.
Before you attempt the assignments, please read the instructions carefully provided in
the Programme Guide. It is important that you write the answers to all the TMA questions
in your own words. Your answers should be according to the word-limit set for a particular
section. Remember, writing answers to assignment questions will improve your writing skill
and sharpen your understanding of the concepts. It will also help you prepare for the term-end
examination.

suggested word limit.
2. UseA4 size ruled paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Allow a 4 cm
margin on the left and leave some space between each answer. This will facilitate the
evaluator to write useful comments in the margin at appropriate places.

your answers from the study material sent to you by the University or from other
