enhance employability of the students and meet industry requirements. Such student
apart from meeting the needs of local and national industry are also expected to be
equipped to become part of the global workforce.
 To provide vertical mobility to students admitted in such vocational courses.
 The certification levels will lead to Diploma/Advanced Diploma/B. Voc. Degree in
Interior Designing and will be offered by respective affiliating University/Board of
Technical Education.
 Students may be awarded Level Certificate/Diploma/Advance Diploma /Degree as
out-lined in the Table below:
Award Duration after class X Corresponding NSQF level
Level 3 Certificate 1 Year 3
Level 4 Certificate 2 Years 4
Diploma 3 Year 5

a. An analytical approach while working on a job.

b. An open mind while locating/rectifying faults.

c. Respect for working with his/her own hands.

d. Respect for honesty, punctuality and truthfulness

D. NSQF compliant skills in Qualification developed by sector skill council in this

sector

3. Course Structure:

The course will consist of combination of practice, theory and hands on skills in the Graphics &
Multimedia sector.

Curriculum

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

Skill Components:

 The focus of skill components shall be to equip students with appropriate knowledge,
practice and attitude, to become work ready. The skill components will 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 few domains.
 The curriculum will focus on work-readiness skills in each of the year of training.
 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 adheres to the normal senior secondary and
university standards. It will emphasize and offer courses which provide holistic
development. However, it will not exceed 40% of the total curriculum.
 Adequate emphasis is given to language and communication skills.

The curriculum is designed in a manner that at the end of each year after class Xth
students can meet below mentioned level descriptors of NSQF:
