IGNOU EPS-09 study material — SLM blocks (PDF)

This is the IGNOU EPS-09 study material view: self-learning material (SLM) organised as course blocks in English—the same structure IGNOU uses for printed and digital distance learning. Each block lists a unit title so you can line up readings, assignments, and revision with the syllabus.

8 blocks are listed for EPS-09. Scroll to a block, then open or save the PDF for that unit. This page is for study material only—past exam papers live on the question paper route for the same code.

Exam tip: use IGNOU EPS-09 question papers for TEE practice after you map topics to these blocks.

Questions about IGNOU EPS-09 study material

Short answers you can trust while planning revision—wording is generic to IGNOU distance programmes and updates when you change course or medium.

How is EPS-09 organised into blocks?: IGNOU typically splits each course into numbered blocks that follow the printed material sequence. The titles you see here (8 listed) map to those self-learning units so you can line up assignments and exam focus areas block by block.
Why switch between English and Hindi for the same course code?: Some programmes publish parallel material. Choosing English here filters the block list to the medium you need for reading and notes, similar to choosing a language track on other IGNOU resource sites.
Can I use this page as a revision checklist?: Yes—treat the outline as a syllabus checklist: tick off each block after you finish readings and practice questions. Pair it with previous-year papers for EPS-09 so you connect unit themes to how questions are framed.
