Preamble

UGC Sponsored B.Voc Programmes

The University Grants Commission (UGC) had launched a scheme on 27 February,

2014 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. Considering the implementation modalities, the guidelines of the scheme have
been revised in the year 2015. The B.Voc. programme is focused on universities and
colleges providing undergraduate studies which would also incorporate specific job
roles and their NOSs 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.

1. Objectives

1. To provide judicious mix of skills relating to a profession and appropriate

content of general education.

2. To ensure that the students have adequate knowledge and skills, so that
they are work ready at each exit point of the programme.

3. To provide flexibility to students by means of pre-defined entry and

multiple exit points.

4. To integrate NSQF within the undergraduate level of higher education in

order to enhance employability of the graduates and meet industry
requirements. Such graduates apart from meeting the needs of local and
national industry are also expected to be equipped to become part of the
global workforce.

5. To provide vertical mobility to students coming out of

a) 10+2 with vocational subjects;
b) Community Colleges.

2. Governance and Coordination

An Advisory Committee will be set-up for effective governance and
coordination of the courses under the scheme. The Advisory Committee
will include the representative(s) of the affiliating university, relevant
industries, relevant Sector Skills Council(s), and Nodal Officer of B.Voc
Scheme. The Vice Chancellor of the university or his Nominee or Principal
of the college, as the case may be, will be the Chairman of the Advisory
Committee and the Nodal Officer will be the Member-Secretary. The
Committee will meet periodically to review the functioning of the courses,
as and when required, but at least once in six months. The Advisory
Committee will also ensure the timely submission information to UGC and
uploading of data in Skill Development Monitoring System (SDMS). Nodal
Officer will submit quarterly progress report to UGC and copy of the same
may also be endorsed to Head, Standards & Q.A., National Skill
Development Corporation, Block A, Clarion Collection, Shaheed Jeet
Singh Marg, New Delhi - 110016.

Figure 1 : Assessment of Skill Component under NSQF in Vocational Courses

Cumulative credits awarded to the learners in skill based vocational courses.

The curriculum in each of the years of the programme would be a suitable mix of
general education and skill development components. As is evident from Table 2
above, the General Education Component shall have 40 % of the total credits
and balance 60% credits will be of Skill Component. The Curriculum details
should be finalized before introduction of the courses.

 UGC B.Voc.Programmes St.Teresa’s College(Autonomous), Ernakulam

4. Assessment

a. The Skill component of the course will be assessed and certified by the
respective Sector kill Councils. In case, there is no Sector Skill Council for
a specific trade, the assessment may be done by an allied Sector Council
or the Industry partner. The certifying bodies may comply with and obtain
accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies
(NABCB) set up under Quality Council of India (QCI). Wherever the
university/college may deem fit, it may issue a joint certificate for the
course(s) with the respective Sector Skill Council(s).
b. The credits for the skill component will be awarded in terms of NSQF level
certification which will have 60% weightage of total credits of the course in
following manner.

c. The general education component will be assessed by the concerned

university as per the prevailing standards and procedures. The
following formula may be used for the credit calculation in general
education component of the courses:

i. General Education credit refers to a unit by which the course

work is measured. It determines the number of hours of
instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to
one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two hours of
practical work/field work per week. Accordingly, one Credit
would mean equivalent of 14-15 periods of 60 minutes each
or 28 – 30 hrs of workshops / labs.
ii. For internship / field work, the credit weightage for equivalent
hours shall be 50% of that for lectures / tutorials.
iii. For self-learning, based on e-content or otherwise, the credit
weightage for equivalent hours of study shall be 50% of that
for lectures / tutorials.

d. Letter Grades and Grade Points

Letter Grades and Grade Points: The UGC recommends a 10-point

grading ystem with the following Letter grades as given below:

A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and will berequired to

reappear in the examination.

 UGC B.Voc.Programmes St.Teresa’s College(Autonomous), Ernakulam

Computation of SGPA and CGPA:

Following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) may be adopted:

i. The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with
the grade points scored by a student in all the course components taken
by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the courses
undergone by a student in a semester,
i.e
SGPA (Si) = Σ(Ci x Gi) / ΣCi

where „Ci‟is the number of credits of the ith course component and „Gi‟ is
the grade point scored by the student in the ith course component.

ii. The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all
the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a
programme, i.e.

CGPA = Σ(Ci x Si) / Σ Ci

where „Si‟ is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of
credits in that semester.

iii. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and
reported in the transcripts.

 We use multiple integrals to calculate quantities that vary over two or more
dimensions such as total mass or angular momentum of an object of
varying density and the volumes of solids with general curved boundaries
 The integrals of ordinary differential equation are plane curves. Also we
should study the differential equation involving one dependant and more
than one independent variables that are partial differential equation. Such
integrals are space curves and surfaces. Partial differential equation can
arise in a variety of ways in Geometry, Physics, etc.
