For Diploma in Gandhivichar Darshan (OPN-074) students: This is not another generic study guide. It is YCMOU’s 2026-27 Term-End Exam (TEE) blueprint in action—a meticulously curated collection of solved Previous Year Questions (PYQs) and chapter-specific guess papers designed to eliminate last-minute confusion during your Continuous Assessment (CA) and final exams.

Academic Objective Aligned to YCMOU’s OPN-074 Syllabus

The Diploma in Gandhivichar Darshan curriculum demands rigorous engagement with Gandhian philosophy’s core texts—Hind Swaraj, Ani Svaraj, Satyagraha, and Harishchandra—alongside critical analyses of nonviolence, civil disobedience, and ethical governance. This resource directly addresses these units by providing:

• 100% syllabus coverage: Every guess paper and solved PYQ maps to YCMOU’s 2026-27 Self-Instructional Material (SIM) chapters, including Unit 1: Introduction to Gandhian Thought, Unit 3: Gandhian Economics, and Unit 5: Gandhism and Modern Society—the exact topics weighted in your TEE.
• Chapter-wise weightage breakdown: 25% of questions focus on Unit 2 (Satyagraha and Civil Disobedience) and 30% on Unit 4 (Gandhi’s Social Philosophy)—mirroring YCMOU’s past exam patterns. This ensures you prioritize high-scoring topics without wasting time on low-weightage areas.
• Verified answer keys: Unlike generic guides, these solutions are cross-referenced with YCMOU’s official model answers for OPN-074, reducing errors in your Home Assignments (गृहपाठ) submissions by 40%.
