NIOS Class 10 Business Studies 215 Solved TMA for the October 2026 Session

Everything on this page is built around the current assignment for subject code 215 at the secondary level. Nothing generic, nothing recycled from an old session. Each answer is phrased the way an evaluator likes to read it, and pinned to the exact lesson its question is drawn from.

You get all six questions solved, the short 40 to 60 word ones and the longer 100 to 150 word ones, and the full project in Question 6. Take it typed or handwritten, in English. The aim is not to copy blindly. Read a clean model, get the shape of the answer in your head, then write it in your own words.

These marks are internal and count towards your final result. So a neat, complete submission is really just a quiet head start you give yourself before the theory paper even begins.

Sample Solved Answers from the Business Studies (215) TMA

Talk is cheap, so here are two answers in full, one short and one long. Read them the way an examiner would, then you will know exactly what lands in your file if you ask for the rest.

Sample 1 · Question 1(a): Advantages of road, rail and air transport

Road transport ensures door-to-door delivery and flexibility. Rail transport is economical and suitable for bulk goods over long distances. Air transport provides fastest movement, ideal for urgent and perishable deliveries. A mix of all three modes reduces delays, increases efficiency, covers wide geographic areas, balances cost with speed, and ensures timely customer satisfaction.

Sample 2 · Question 4(a): Qualities of a good salesman

To be a successful salesman, your brother should develop the following qualities:

1. Physical qualities: smart appearance, an impressive personality and sound health to make a positive impression.
2. Mental qualities: sharp memory, initiative, imagination, alertness and self-confidence for handling customers.
3. Integrity of character: honesty and loyalty towards both customers and employer to build trust.

How the Business Studies (215) Tutor Marked Assignment Is Structured

The assignment keeps a familiar shape every session, and once you spot it, the writing gets easier. The first three questions are short recall and application items of about 40 to 60 words, usually wrapped around a small case such as a delivery mix or a warehouse holding buffer stock. Read the situation slowly, then answer only what is actually asked.

Questions 4 and 5 open up to 100 to 150 words, and they reward a clean, numbered layout. The salesman answer above is a good picture of how that looks once it is on paper.

Question 6 is a project, the kind NIOS uses to check whether you can apply an idea, say an import procedure or a set of promotion techniques. New to all of this? Our short guide to the NIOS TMA explains where the assignment fits into your final result.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in the Business Studies (215) TMA

Most marks slip away on presentation, not knowledge, and that is oddly good news, because presentation is the easy part to fix.

Watch the word count first. A 40 to 60 word answer stretched over half a page rarely reads better, and padding is easy to spot. Next, stay with the case. When a question names Mohit, Amit or Logistics Ltd, speak to that person or firm directly instead of dropping in a textbook definition.

And please do not copy a solved file word for word. Learn the structure, then write it in your own hand, because identical sheets across a batch stand out immediately. If you want more worked examples to learn the pattern from, our wider NIOS Solved TMA library treats other subjects the very same way.
