B.Voc

BVoc or Bachelor of Vocation has become one of the most popular courses in India as vocational or skill-based education is more significant in the current times. BVoc aims at providing adequate skills required for a particular trade. The course is different from traditional academic programmes as it deals more with application-based studies rather than focusing on only theoretical knowledge. BVoc is a three-year duration undergraduate course that can be pursued in a wide range of fields starting from healthcare, food technology and hospitality to creative fields like graphic designing and beauty & wellness. One of the biggest advantages of pursuing BVoc against common degree courses is that a candidate has multiple exit points during the programme and continued industry exposure. This means that if a candidate is unable to complete his/ her BVoc course, s/he is still awarded a diploma after successful completion of first year or advanced diploma after successful completion of second year. Apart from this, work experience gained by the candidate during the course increases their chances of getting a job.   

There are a number of colleges and universities in India that offer BVoc courses in tie-up with different industries. Know the complete requirements of a BVoc course in terms of eligibility criteria, course curriculum, job profiles and more below.
