What the BEGG-174 Solved Question Paper June 2026 covers
BEGG-174 Creative Writing is a Generic Elective course from IGNOU’s School of Humanities, studied in the Bachelor of Arts (General) programme (BAG) and listed by IGNOU for BA (Honours) English (BAEGH) learners.
The course teaches you to write, not only to write about writing. Its four blocks move from the craft of creative writing to features, short stories and poetry, then to radio, TV and new media scripts, and finally to editing and publishing. IGNOU hosts the official course booklets on eGyanKosh BEGG-174 Creative Writing.
The IGNOU BEGG-174 Question Paper we solved is the June 2026 term-end paper printed as A–1398/BEGG–174: 3 hours, 100 marks, ten questions in two sections. Section A tests theory such as online media, readability, writing about women and imagery in poetry.
Section B is where many students lose marks, because it asks for finished pieces: a feature on whether women labourers at a construction site face harsher conditions than men, a magazine travel article, a short story, a 12 to 14 line poem and a Public Service Announcement on keeping the environment clean.
One pattern is worth noticing before you revise. Of the ten questions, six draw on Block 2, three on Block 3 and only one on Block 1 — and Block 4, on preparing for publication, produced no question at all this session. The repeat-topics section below turns that into a shortlist for December 2026.
The file answers every one of the 10 questions, including all four short-note options in Question 1 and every Section B task written out in exam format with a title. Two answers appear below; the other 8 are in the full file only.
BEGG-174 Creative Writing answers you can read first (Q3 and Q5)
Two complete answers from the June 2026 paper are open below: Question 3 on readability and Question 5 on the role of imagery in a poem.
Both are Section A essays worth 20 marks each and written to the 500-word length printed in the paper. Read them to judge the structure, examples and language you will get in every answer of the full file.
Question 3 Section A Block 1, Unit 4 20 marks 500 words Readability set in 3 of 7 papers
3. Readability is a writer’s ultimate goal. How can a creative writer achieve this goal? (500 words)
Readability is the ease with which a reader can follow, understand and enjoy a piece of writing. A text may be original and full of ideas, yet if the reader has to struggle through every line, the writer has failed. That is why readability is called the writer’s ultimate goal: writing exists to be read. A creative writer reaches this goal through careful choices of words, sentences, structure and tone.
1. Know the reader. Every piece is written for someone. A story for children, a feature for a weekend supplement and a blog post for college students need different vocabulary and different levels of detail. Before writing, the writer should ask who will read the piece, what they already know and why they would keep reading.
2. Choose plain, concrete words. Short, familiar words are understood faster than long or abstract ones. “Use” works better than “utilise” and “begin” better than “commence”. Concrete words such as “a rain-soaked bus stop” create a picture, while vague words such as “an unpleasant situation” leave the reader with nothing to see. Jargon should be avoided unless the audience shares it.
3. Keep sentences varied and manageable. Long sentences crowded with clauses tire the reader. Most sentences should carry one main idea. Variety still matters: a short sentence after two longer ones gives emphasis and rhythm. Active voice (“The editor rejected the poem”) is clearer than passive voice (“The poem was rejected by the editor”).
4. Structure the material. Readability depends on order as much as on words. A strong opening catches attention, each paragraph develops one point, and linking words such as “however” or “as a result” guide the reader from one idea to the next. The piece should build steadily and end in a way that feels complete rather than abrupt.
5. Show, do not only tell. In creative writing, readers stay with a text when they can see and feel it. Instead of writing “She was nervous”, the writer can show her twisting the strap of her bag while she waits. Dialogue, sensory detail and specific incidents keep the reader involved far longer than general statements.
6. Revise and read aloud. Very few first drafts are readable. Cutting repetition, removing padding and replacing weak verbs make the text sharper. Reading the draft aloud reveals awkward rhythm and over-long sentences that the eye misses on the page. A second reader, such as a friend or an editor, can point out places where meaning is unclear.
7. Use readability tests with care. Formulas such as the Flesch Reading Ease score, developed by Rudolf Flesch, and Robert Gunning’s Fog Index measure sentence length and word length. They are useful checks, but they cannot judge interest, emotion or the clarity of an idea, so the writer’s own judgement must come first.
Conclusion. Readability does not mean making writing childish. It is a form of respect for the reader. When a creative writer knows the audience, chooses clear words, controls sentence length, organises ideas logically and revises patiently, the reader moves through the piece without effort and remembers it afterwards. That is the true test of successful creative writing.
Question 5 Section A Block 2, Units 3–4 20 marks 500 words Poetry craft and imagery set in 2 of 7 papers
5. What role does imagery play while writing a poem? Give examples to illustrate your answer. (500 words)
Imagery is the use of language that appeals to the senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and movement. In a poem, images turn abstract feelings and ideas into something the reader can see, hear or feel. Because a poem usually has very few lines, every image has to work hard, and imagery is often what separates a living poem from a flat statement.
1. It makes the abstract concrete. Feelings such as loneliness or joy are hard to describe directly, so imagery gives them a body. In “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” (1807), William Wordsworth shows his mood through a drifting cloud and then a crowd of golden daffodils dancing beside a lake. The reader feels the shift from solitude to delight without being told about it.
2. It appeals to several senses. Good imagery is not only visual. John Keats’s “To Autumn” (1819) is rich in touch and taste: the season will “fill all fruit with ripeness to the core”, and Autumn is pictured “sitting careless on a granary floor”. Sound arrives in the last stanza, where gnats mourn and swallows twitter. The season becomes something we live through.
3. It creates mood and atmosphere. Images set the emotional tone of a poem. In “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” (1915), T. S. Eliot compares the evening sky to “a patient etherised upon a table”. This startling image at once suggests numbness and unease, and prepares us for a speaker who cannot bring himself to act.
4. It compresses meaning. Imagery lets a poem say a great deal in very few words. Ezra Pound’s “In a Station of the Metro” (1913) has only two lines: faces in a crowd are seen as “petals on a wet, black bough”. The single image captures beauty, brevity and the press of a city crowd. This kind of precision was the aim of Imagism, the movement Pound helped to lead.
5. It grows into symbol. A strong or repeated image can carry a larger meaning. William Blake’s “The Tyger” (1794) opens with the tiger “burning bright, / In the forests of the night”. The fiery animal becomes a symbol of fierce energy and leads the speaker to ask what kind of creator could have made it.
6. It brings a place to life. Sarojini Naidu’s “In the Bazaars of Hyderabad” (1912) is built almost wholly from images of colour, scent and sound: crimson and silver turbans, citron and pomegranate, flowers and the music of the sarangi and drum. Through these sensory details the poet celebrates the crowded life of an Indian market.
Lessons for the writer. A creative writer should choose fresh, precise images instead of tired clichés such as “red as a rose”, draw on more than one sense, and keep images consistent with the mood of the poem. Too many images crowded together can confuse the reader, so each one must earn its place.
Conclusion. Imagery is the heart of poetic expression. It makes feelings visible, builds atmosphere, compresses meaning and can deepen into symbol. As Wordsworth, Keats, Eliot, Pound, Blake and Naidu show, a poem is remembered less for what it states than for what it makes the reader see and feel.

Block 2 does most of the work on this paper. Its four units supplied six of the ten June 2026 questions: the theory on writing about women and on imagery, and then the feature, the travel article, the short story and the poem in Section B. Block 3 gave three, Block 1 gave one, and Block 4 gave none at all. If you are reading the units alongside our BEGG-174 Study Material, give Block 2 the most practice time and write at least one sample of each kind.
BEGG-174 Question Paper pattern and marks split
The BEGG-174 Question Paper has ten questions of 20 marks each, and you attempt five, with at least two from each of its two sections.
| Section | Questions | What it asks | Length per answer | Marks each |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Section A | Q1 to Q5 | Theory. Q1 is four short notes, of which you write any two; Q2 to Q5 are essays | 2 × 200 words (Q1) or 500 words | 20 |
| Section B | Q6 to Q10 | Creative tasks: feature article, travel article, short story, poem of 12 to 14 lines, Public Service Announcement | 500 words for prose; 12–14 lines for the poem; script length for the PSA | 20 |
| Choice rule | 5 of 10 | Attempt five questions in all, with at least two from each section | — | 5 × 20 = 100 |
| Total | 10 printed | 3 hours | About 1,700 to 2,500 words, depending on your choices | 100 |
That last row is the most important number on this page, and it is the one thing no bare question paper tells you. Because every question is worth the same 20 marks but the lengths differ wildly, your choice of five questions decides whether you write about 1,700 words or about 2,500 — a difference of some 800 words, or roughly half an hour of writing time.
Work out the rates and the gap is obvious. A 500-word essay or prose piece pays about 0.04 marks per word. Question 1’s two short notes come to 400 words for the same 20 marks, so about 0.05. But the poem in Question 9 is only 12 to 14 lines, perhaps 120 words, for a full 20 marks — close to 0.17 marks per word, four times an essay. The Public Service Announcement in Question 10 is a short script, so it lands around 0.11.
The choice rule says at least two questions from Section B, and the poem and the PSA are both in Section B. So the lightest legal route through this paper is Question 1 plus two Section A essays, then the poem and the PSA — five answers, around 1,700 words, full 100 marks available. The heaviest route is three essays plus two of the feature, travel article or story, which is 2,500 words for the same 100 marks. Pick the poem and the PSA, write them carefully rather than quickly, and you buy yourself real time for the essays.
Small details change from session to session. The poem asked for 10 to 12 lines in December 2024 and June 2025 but 12 to 14 lines in June 2026, and the last question swings between a TV advertisement and a Public Service Announcement. Before the exam, read at least three papers in a row from our IGNOU Previous Year Question Paper collection so that the printed instructions and word limits feel familiar.
Topics that keep returning in BEGG-174, June 2022 to June 2026
In seven official BEGG-174 papers from June 2022 to June 2026, the short story, the poem, the travel article and a TV advertisement or PSA appeared in every single paper.

| Guidelines for writing for online media | Jun 22, Jun 24, Dec 24, Jun 26 | 4 | Yes, Q2 |
| Publishing and the manuscript | Jun 22, Jun 23, Dec 24, Jun 25 | 4 | Not asked |
| Radio, TV and children’s scripts (theory) | Jun 23, Jun 24, Dec 24, Dec 25 | 4 | Not asked |
| Editing and proofreading | Jun 24, Dec 24, Jun 25, Dec 25 | 4 | Not asked |
| Writing blogs (short note) | Jun 23, Jun 24, Jun 26 | 3 | Yes, Q1(d) |
| Old and new media (short note) | Jun 22, Jun 25, Dec 25 | 3 | Not asked |

| Poetry craft and imagery (theory) | Jun 23, Jun 26 | 2 | Yes, Q5 (shown on this page) |
| Importance of dialogues in drama | Not asked in the seven papers checked | 0 | Yes, Q1(a), first time |
Papers used: June 2022, June 2023, June 2024, December 2024, June 2025, December 2025 and June 2026, all taken from ignou.ac.in or webservices.ignou.ac.in. We could not find the December 2022 and December 2023 papers on IGNOU’s sites, so they are not counted.
Read the last column downwards and December 2026 writes its own shortlist. Five topics were skipped this session, and three of them sit at four appearances out of seven: publishing and the manuscript, the theory of radio, TV and children’s scripts, and editing and proofreading. Behind them come old and new media, and plagiarism, at three each.
Those gaps line up almost exactly with one block. Block 4, Preparing for Publication, produced no June 2026 question at all, yet three of its four units hold topics that have been asked in four, four and three of the seven papers. Block 3’s radio and TV theory was skipped too, even though the PSA task drew on the same units in practice. So the plainest advice for the next sitting is to read Block 4 end to end, then the radio and TV units of Block 3, while keeping Section B practice going. For the December 2026 sitting these repeat patterns are the backbone of our IGNOU Solved Guess Paper for this course, where the most frequent theory topics are paired with practice tasks for Section B.
How our BEGG-174 answers are drafted and checked
Every BEGG-174 answer is mapped to its unit, kept to the printed word length and reviewed before it goes into the file.
Theory answers open with a clear definition, move through numbered points with real examples from literature and the media, and close with a short conclusion. This is the shape the June 2026 samples above follow, and it suits the 500-word limit printed against each Section A question.
Section B answers are written as finished pieces rather than notes. The feature has a headline and a clear angle, the travel article mixes facts with experience, the story has a title and a turn, and the PSA is set out as a script with visuals and voice-over.
Answers are drafted by Prateek Talwar and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola. We compared them with the topics in our BAG Question Paper archive so that recurring themes are handled with extra care.

Programmes that offer BEGG-174 Creative Writing
BEGG-174 Creative Writing is a Generic Elective that IGNOU’s assignment booklets list for BAG and BAEGH learners, and its exam paper is printed under the BAG header.
Most learners meet this course through the IGNOU Bachelor of Arts (General) programme, where English is taken as a discipline and a Generic Elective adds practical writing skills to literature and language papers.
IGNOU’s 2024–25 and 2025–26 assignment booklets name both BA (General) and BA (Honours) English as the programmes for this course. Check your own programme guide if you are registered in another BA Honours stream, since generic elective baskets differ between programmes.
Whichever programme you are in, the term-end paper and its pattern are the same, so this solved file works for every learner registered for BEGG-174.

BEGG-174 Creative Writing FAQs
Quick answers about the BEGG-174 Creative Writing June 2026 solved paper, the exam pattern and how to get the full file.
What does the BEGG-174 June 2026 solved paper contain?
It contains complete answers to all 10 questions of the official IGNOU June 2026 BEGG-174 Creative Writing paper. Section A theory questions get 500-word essays and Question 1 is solved for all four short notes. Section B tasks are written out in full as a feature article, travel article, short story, poem and Public Service Announcement, each in the format examiners expect.
How do I get the full BEGG-174 file on WhatsApp?
Send a message to WhatsApp 9899436384 with the code BEGG 174 and the session June 2026. Our team replies with the price and shares the complete PDF after confirmation. The file answers all 10 questions in the paper: the 2 you can read on this page and the 8 that are listed here as question text only.
Which BEGG-174 answers can I read on this page?
Two complete answers are open on this page: Question 3, on how a creative writer achieves readability, and Question 5, on the role of imagery in a poem with examples from Wordsworth, Keats, Eliot, Pound, Blake and Naidu. They show the depth and length of every answer in the file, so you can judge the quality before you ask for the rest.
Is BEGG-174 Creative Writing a theory paper or a writing paper?
It is both. Section A asks theory questions on topics such as online media, readability, writing about women and poetic imagery. Section B asks you to actually write a feature, a travel article, a story, a poem and an announcement. You must attempt at least two questions from each section, so preparing only one type of answer is risky.
How many questions must I attempt in the BEGG-174 exam?
You attempt five questions out of ten, choosing at least two from Section A and at least two from Section B. Every question carries 20 marks, so the paper totals 100 marks in 3 hours. Question 1 is split into four short notes, of which you write any two in about 200 words each for 10 marks apiece.
Which BEGG-174 questions give the most marks for the least writing?
Question 9, the poem, and Question 10, the Public Service Announcement. Every question on this paper is worth 20 marks, but a 500-word essay or feature pays about 0.04 marks per word while a 12 to 14 line poem, perhaps 120 words, pays close to 0.17 and a short PSA script about 0.11. Both sit in Section B, where you must answer at least two questions anyway. Choosing the poem and the PSA brings your total writing down to roughly 1,700 words instead of the 2,500 a heavier set of choices demands, which is about half an hour of extra time for the answers you do write.
Which BEGG-174 topics repeat most often in past papers?
In the seven official papers we compared, from June 2022 to June 2026, the short story, the poem, the travel article and a TV advertisement or PSA appeared every time, along with story craft theory. Feature articles on women appeared five times, while online media guidelines, writing about women, publishing, editing and radio or TV theory appeared four times each. The full table is on this page.
Which BEGG-174 topics are most likely in December 2026?
Everything in Block 4, Preparing for Publication, because that block produced no question at all in June 2026. Publishing and the manuscript, and editing and proofreading, have each been asked in four of the seven papers we checked, and plagiarism in three, yet none of them appeared this session. The theory of radio, TV and children's scripts in Block 3, also four of seven, was skipped as well. Read Block 4 end to end and the radio and TV units of Block 3 before your next attempt.
Does BEGG-174 Creative Writing have a practical file?
No. IGNOU assesses BEGG-174 through one Tutor Marked Assignment of 100 marks based on Blocks 1 to 4 and the term-end examination, and there is no separate practical or record file. That is why this page gives a solved file index showing each June 2026 question, the unit it comes from and whether its answer is shown here.
Who wrote and checked the BEGG-174 answers?
The answers were drafted by Prateek Talwar, Academic Head at Unnati Educations, and reviewed by Sheetal Kirola. Each answer was matched to its BEGG-174 unit, kept to the word length printed in the paper and checked against topics from seven official past papers so that the content stays focused on what examiners actually ask.
