The University Grants Commission (UGC) had launched a scheme for skills development based higher education as part of college/university education, leading to Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) degree with multiple entry and exit points. The B.Voc program is focused on providing undergraduate studies which would also incorporate specific job roles along with broad based general education. This would enable the graduates completing B.Voc to make a meaningful participation in accelerating India’s economy by gaining appropriate employment, becoming entrepreneurs and creating appropriate knowledge. The duration of the B. Voc courses will be six semesters in three Academic Sessions. At the end of each Semester, the candidates shall be required to present themselves for examination. The student who completes first semester successfully and is opting out from further education in B.Voc program, will be conferred Certificate in respective subject/trade. The student who completes first year i.e. first two semesters successfully and is opting out from further education in B.Voc program, will be conferred Diploma in respective subject/trade. Similarly, the student who completes first two years i.e. four semesters successfully and is opting out from further education will be conferred Advanced Diploma. The degree of B.Voc shall be conferred on the candidate who pursues the prescribed course of study for six semesters. The B. Voc degree is equivalent to BA/B.Sc degree for higher studies and employment.
