About the NIOS Class 10 Social Science 213 Solved TMA (October 2026)
Think of Social Science 213 as four subjects wearing one coat. History, geography, economics and political science all sit inside this single secondary paper, which is exactly why students find the assignment a bit of a handful. It mixes short questions, longer descriptive answers and one project, with questions spread right across the twenty-seven lessons. You cannot really wing it here, because the examiner is quietly checking your answer came from the NIOS book and not thin air.
Not quite sure where the assignment fits into your marks yet? Here is the short version. The NIOS TMA goes to your study centre, gets marked internally, and that score is folded into your final result. So a neat, correct assignment is honestly one of the easiest marks to tuck away early, long before you ever sit the theory paper.
Why the Social Science 213 TMA Carries Real Weight in Your Result
Here is the part students tend to underrate. The internal assessment for Social Science 213 is worth 20 marks, and this assignment is where you actually earn them. For a paper this heavy on facts and dates, that is a lovely cushion to have. Do well here and the theory exam has less to prove, which takes a real weight off your shoulders come exam morning.
This page is part of our wider NIOS Class 10 Solved TMA library, so if you are sitting a few subjects this session, you can keep the whole set in the same handwriting and format. Evaluators can spot an assignment that has had care poured into it, and a patchy submission cobbled from three different sources rarely gives that impression.
One more reason to give this assignment your attention: the questions push you to apply ideas rather than just parrot them back. That turns out to be a gift at exam time, because the same thinking you do here is precisely what the theory paper rewards.
Complete List of Social Science 213 TMA Questions (October 2026)
Here is the whole assignment, laid out exactly as it is set for this session. You only attempt one option from each question, so do not panic at the length. We have kept the wording word for word as it appears on the paper, so you can hold this up against your own sheet and check nothing has changed before you submit.

Two Sample Solved Answers from Our Social Science 213 TMA
We would rather show you than tell you, so here are two answers lifted straight from the full file. Read how each one gets to the point in the first line, stays inside its word limit, and leans on actual textbook examples instead of waffle. That is the bar every single answer in the pack has to clear before it reaches you.
Sample Answer · Q1 (a)
The archaeologist and the geography of an ancient site
Understanding the geography of an area helps an archaeologist read why people settled there, what they traded, and how their culture took shape. The physical setting leaves clues in the ruins themselves.
| Geographical Feature | Example | Historical & Cultural Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Rivers & Plains | Indus Valley (Harappa, Mohenjodaro) | Fertile land supported agriculture, trade, and advanced urban planning. |
| Coastal Areas | Lothal (Gujarat) | Presence of dockyard shows maritime trade, bead-making, and cultural exchange. |
| Hills & Mountains | Rajgir Hills, Nalanda region | Natural defense; rise of forts and Buddhist monasteries, religious significance. |
| Fertile Basin | Ganga Basin | Encouraged dense settlements; river rituals shaped cultural traditions. |
| Mineral-rich Areas | Rajasthan (Copper, Zinc) | Mining and metallurgy advanced technology and crafts. |
Sample Answer · Q3 (b)
Directive Principles of State Policy and the welfare state
• Social Justice: Equal wages for equal work, enacted through the Minimum Wages Act.
• Education: Free and compulsory education, ensured by the Right to Education Act, 2009.
• Employment & Welfare: MGNREGA provides rural jobs, reflecting the right to work.
• Women & Children: Laws against child labour and maternity relief for women.
• Environment: Projects like Save the Tiger and afforestation follow the directive for environmental protection.These measures bring India closer to welfare state ideals.
The rest of the answers, including both project options with survey tables you can copy straight across, come with the complete pack. The two above should give you a fair feel for how the others read.

How Our Social Science 213 TMA Answers Are Prepared
Every answer starts the same way, with the actual lesson open in front of us. We work out what the question is really after, pull the exact facts, dates and examples an examiner wants to see, and then write to the word limit instead of padding it out. Take the archaeology answer above. It names Lothal and Harappa on purpose, because a woolly answer about "rivers and hills" would quietly drop the applied mark.

Handwritten Social Science 213 TMA, Practical Files and Extra Support
Plenty of study centres would rather have a neatly handwritten assignment, so we will prepare the Social Science 213 TMA in clean handwriting whenever you ask, ready to hand in as it is. It saves you a whole evening of copying, and the tidy, consistent look does quietly nudge your marks in the right direction.
The assignment is not all we do, either. We also help with solved previous years' papers, chapter notes and short crash-course sessions for anyone racing the clock before the exam. If you are juggling a handful of subjects this session, it is worth a quick ask about what we can bundle together so you are not chasing five different sources at once.
Common Mistakes Students Make in the Social Science 213 TMA
The slip we see most often is treating the word limit as a suggestion. A 40 to 60 word question answered in a single line looks half-hearted, and a 100 to 150 word answer stretched across a full page rarely earns anything extra, it just loses the thread. Our NIOS Solved TMA answers are written to sit comfortably inside each band, no more and no less.
The next one is copying generic material that never actually names an example. Social Science 213 questions love to say "explain with examples" or "give two examples", so an answer with no Lothal, no MGNREGA, no Right to Education Act is quietly handing marks back. And the third? Skipping the project altogether, which is a shame, because a filled-in survey table is one of the easiest parts of the whole assignment to nail.
Frequently Asked Questions on the Social Science 213 TMA

Is the Social Science 213 TMA updated for the October 2026 session?
Yes, the answers on offer are matched to the current October 2026 assignment.

How many marks does the Social Science 213 TMA carry?
The Tutor Marked Assignment feeds into the internal assessment for Social Science 213, which counts towards your final result alongside the theory paper. Because it is marked at your study centre and you can prepare it calmly at home, it is one of the more reliable ways to bank marks early. A careful, complete submission genuinely eases the pressure on exam day.
Can I get handwritten Social Science 213 TMA answers?
Yes, we prepare a neatly handwritten version of the Social Science 213 assignment on request, formatted the way study centres expect it. This is useful if your centre asks for handwritten submissions or if you simply want to save the time of copying it out. Mention that you need the handwritten option when you message us, and we will arrange it for you.
How do I receive the Social Science 213 Solved TMA after ordering?
Delivery is over WhatsApp. You send a message on the number listed on this page, tell us it is for the Social Science 213 paper and the October 2026 session, and we share the complete file with you. It is a quick exchange, and you can ask any follow-up questions about specific answers in the same chat before you submit.
Are the Social Science 213 TMA answers based on the NIOS textbook?
Every answer is written from the NIOS Class 10 Social Science book, not from unrelated notes floating around online. We map each question to its lesson, pull the facts and examples the examiner is looking for, and keep the language clear enough to learn from. That way the assignment doubles as revision, rather than being something you copy without understanding.
