Bachelor of Vocation

Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) is a three-year undergraduate degree introduced under University Grants Commission guidelines to combine general education with skill-based, industry-oriented training aligned to the National Skills Qualifications Framework. It is offered in specific vocational areas, such as banking operations or software development, with roughly equal weight given to skill components and general education papers across six semesters, along with on-the-job training or an internship. The programme allows multiple exit points, with a diploma after the first year and an advanced diploma after the second year for students who do not continue to the full degree. B.Voc suits students who want a job-ready, practical qualification in a specific trade alongside a formal bachelor's degree.
