The Delhi University launched seven vocational courses in four of its colleges in subjects such as printing technology, software development and healthcare management, from the upcoming academic session.
The University’s Academic Council (AC) had last year given a go-ahead to Maharaja Agrasen College, Kalindi College, Jesus and Mary College and Ramanujan College to introduce these courses. However, they could not be introduced in the last academic session as various modalities were being worked out.
The course being offered at Maharaja Agrasen College is a two-year Advanced Diploma Course while others are three-year courses.
There are 50 seats in each course. The registration have been started from September 1 and the admissions will go on till 23 Spetember 2016.
While Maharaja Agrasen College will offer advanced diploma courses in TV programming and news production, Jesus and Mary college will offer Bachelors in Vocational Studies (BVoc) courses in healthcare management and retail management and IT. Kalindi College will be offering BVoc courses in printing technology and web designing while Ramanujan College will have BVoc courses in banking and financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector (banking operations) and software development.
Breaking away from the regular arts, commerce and science streams, and recognizing the need for vocational studies, UGC had in 2014 approved a three-year BVoc course.
Financial assistance of upto Rs 1.85 crore is also provided by UGC to each of the colleges, which are approved to offer the BVoc programme as under the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF).
