Qualifications Framework for providing Skill Based Education , 2020-2021

Guidelines for providing Skill Based Education under National Skills Qualifications Framework

Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development for any country. Presently, the country faces a demand – supply mismatch, as the economy needs more ‘skilled’ workforce than that is available. In the higher education sphere, knowledge and skills are required for diverse forms of employment in the sectors of education, health care, manufacturing and other services

Type of Courses and Awards  Skill-based programmes can be offered at the level of certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, B.Voc, P.G. diploma, M.Voc and research as per details given below. 

These will be full-time credit-based modular programmes, wherein banking of credits for skill and general education components shall be permitted so as to enable multiple exit and entry. These should not be conducted as add on programmes.

 The multiple entry and exit enables the learner to seek employment after any level of award and join back as and when feasible to upgrade qualifications / skill competencies either to move higher in the job profile or in the higher educational system. This will also provide the learner an opportunity for vertical mobility to second year of B.Voc degree programme after one year diploma and to third year of B.Voc degree programme after a two year advanced diploma. The students may further move to Masters and Research degree programmes mapped at NSQF Level 8 –10.
