* नियुक्ति (niyukti): This is the most common and general translation, referring to the act of assigning something or someone.
* कार्य सौंपना (kaarya saupna): This literally means "to assign work" and is used when referring to assigning tasks or responsibilities.
* असाइनमेंट (asainment): This is the direct transliteration of the English word, and is often used in educational contexts.
The best translation will depend on the specific context of the assignment. For example, if you are talking about assigning a student a homework assignment, "कार्य सौंपना" would be the most appropriate. If you are talking about assigning someone to a job, "नियुक्ति" would be more suitable.
