Vocational courses help students develop skills
B VOC Students can choose a degree or diploma in disciplines such as retail management, IT, health care management and software development
to take a break from studies and work,” said Nikhil Rajput, nodal officer for the courses at Ramanujan College.
Students from all streams can apply for the course. Applicants have to fill the central registration form and admission will be done based on cut-offs. The courses were introduced at DU last year but the admission happened in September as the approval had come late.
At Jesus and Mary College there are two courses available – Retail Management and IT, and Health Care Management. At Kalindi College students have two courses to opt for –Printing Technology, and Web Designing. Similarly at Ramanujan College there are two B.Voc courses –Banking Operations, and Software Development.
“The course has 40% general education components and 60% skill education components. So students get to know the academics of the subject as well as the industry requirements and practical applications,” said Sunita Narain, nodal officer for the courses at Jesus and Mary college.
Rajput said the course provides a judicious mix of skills relating to a profession and appropriate content of general education, so that students are work ready at each exit point of the programme.
“It also integrates NSQF within the undergraduate level of higher education in order to enhance employability of the graduates and meet industry requirement,” he said.
Students doing Software development can become junior software developers, web developers, data associates and software developers depending on when they exit the course, said Rajput.
Narain said students can become floor managers, duty managers, customer relation executive and work at non-clinical positions in hospitals after doing retail management and IT, and health care management courses.
These courses have been developed by the UGC as per National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) of Ministry of Skill Development emphasizing on skillbased education in consultation with National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC). 68 teAching& 40 non-teAching stAff. 2,358
