    To provide judicious mix of skills relating to a profession and appropriate content of General Education.

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

    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.

    The approach adopted by TISS-SVE is called the Work Integrated Training programme (WITP). This Vocational Educational Programme is being implemented for the first time in India with a focus on job-specific skills rather than providing only a broad based education. The aim is to enable the students to learn the skill by engaging in on-the-job training at real shop floor of the industry/company along with classroom theoretical training. Through this “Earn while you Learn” approach model, the trainee may also earn a modest stipend during on-the-job duration of the course.

    Any student who has graduated from Class XII (Higher Secondary) or its equivalent from any recognized school board or university is eligible for admission. The medium of instruction will be English.

    EMPLOYABILITY

    Considering the work integrated approach adopted by TISS: SVE, the industry will be open to employ the students attached with them for the purpose of training as full time employees. We can assist 100% placements after completion of the course.

    CURRICULUM

    The curriculum in each of the years of the programme would be a suitable mix of general education and skill development components.

    SKILL DEVELOPMENT COMPONENTS

    The focus of skill development components shall be to equip students with appropriate knowledge, practice and attitude, so as to become work ready.

    The skill development components should be relevant to the industry as per its requirements.

    The curriculum will necessarily embed within itself, National Occupational Standards (NOSs) of specific job roles within the industry. This would enable the students to meet the learning outcomes specified in the NOSs.

    The overall design of the skill development component along with the job roles selected will be such that it leads to a comprehensive specialization in one or two domains. In case NOS is not available for a specific area / job role, TISS will get the curriculum for this developed in consultation with industry experts.

    The curriculum will focus on work-readiness skills in each of the three years.

    Adequate attention will be given in curriculum design to practical work, on the job training,development of student portfolios and project work.

    GENERAL EDUCATION COMPONENT

    The general education component will adhere to the normal university standards. It will emphasise and offer courses which provide holistic development. However, it will not exceed 40% of the total curriculum.

    Adequate emphasis will be given to language and communication skills.

    EXAMINATION AND ASSESSMENT

    The assessment for the general education component will be done by the TISS as per the prevailing standards and procedures. The assessment for the skill development components will necessarily focus on practical demonstrations of the skills acquired. TISS will consult the respective Sector Skill Council or COE for designing the examination and assessment pattern for the skill development components. TISS may also consider using the designated assessors of Sector Skill Councils/industry associations for the conduct of practical assessment or draw from the panel of examiners appointed by TISS-SVE. TISS will establish a credit based assessment and evaluation system for the B. Voc. Programme.
