Diploma in Health Care Assistance ,St. Teresa’s Community College Curriculum

PREAMBLE

UGC SPONSORED COMMUNITY COLLEGE

The Community College model, as envisaged, will be accessible to a large

number of individuals of the community, offer low cost and high quality education

locally, that encompasses both skills development as well as traditional

coursework, thereby providing opportunities to the learners to move directly to the

employment sector or move into higher education. It provides a flexible and open

education system which also caters to community-based life-long learning needs. It

has a synergistic relationship between the community, learner and the job market.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) had launched a scheme on 27

February, 2014 for skills development based higher education. Considering the

implementation modalities, the guidelines of the scheme have been revised in the

year 2015. It is a nationally integrated education and competency-based skill

framework which provides for multiple pathways, both within vocational

education and between general and vocational education, to link one level of

learning to another higher level and enables learners to progress to higher levels

from any starting point in the education and / or skill system. It permits individuals

to accumulate their knowledge and skills and convert them, through testing and

certification by the competent authorities, into higher level of certification which

could be a certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, a degree or a PG diploma in

common parlance. The community college programme is focused on universities

and colleges providing undergraduate studies which would also incorporate

specific job roles and their NOSs along with broad based general education. This

would enable the graduates to make a meaningful participation in accelerating

India‟s economy by gaining appropriate employment, becoming entrepreneurs and

creating appropriate knowledge.


Objectives

The main objectives of the scheme are:

i. To make higher education relevant to the learner and the

community;

ii. To integrate relevant skills into the higher education system;

iii. To provide skill based education to students currently pursuing

higher education but actually interested in entering the workforce

at the earliest opportunity;

iv. To provide employable and certifiable skills based on National

Occupational Standards (NOSs) with necessary general education

to Senior Secondary School pass-outs, with general education and

/or vocational education background.

v. To provide for up-gradation and certification of traditional /

acquired skills of the learners irrespective of their age;

vi. To provide opportunities for community–based life-long learning

by offering courses of general interest to the community for

personal development and interest;

vii. To provide opportunity for vertical mobility to move to higher

education in future; and

viii. To offer bridge courses to certificate holders of general /

vocational education, so as to bring them at par with appropriate

NSQF level.

ix. To provide entrepreneurial orientation along with required skill

training for self-employment and entrepreneurship development.


2. Governance and Coordination

Each CC will constitute a separate Board of Management (BoM) for its

effective governance which will include representative(s) of the

affiliating university, relevant industries, relevant Sector Skills

Council(s), and Nodal Officer(s) of CC. For the purpose of brevity,

henceforth the word “industry” will be used to signify all the sectors of

the economy including manufacturing, mining, services, agriculture and

allied sectors. The Vice Chancellor of the university or Chairman/

President of the Managing Committee of the college will be the

Chairman of the BoM and the Principal of the College shall be its

Member-Secretary, and representatives from the partner industry and

SSC as its Co-Chairpersons. BoM will meet periodically to review the

functioning of the CC and, thereafter, as and when required, but at least

once in six months.

The Board of Studies (BoS) would have representatives from the college,

university to which the college is affiliated, partner industries and

relevant Sector Skill Council(s). The Principal of the CC shall be the

Chairperson, while the local head of one of the partner industries shall be

the co Chairperson. The BoS shall decide the programmes to be offered

by the CC, depending upon the industry needs, skill gap studies done by

NSDC or such other credible sources, and finalize the curriculum in

modular form in consultation with the partner industry and relevant SSC.


3. Curricular Aspects and Level of Awards

As the CBSE and many other school boards are initiating skill based

vocational courses with certification at NSQF Level 4 for students completing

10+2, there may be three types of learners getting admission to first semester of

CC courses:

Category – 1 : students already acquired NSQF certification Level 4 in a particular

industry sector and opted admission in the courses under CC in same trade with job

role for which he / she previously certified at school level.

Category – 2 : students who have acquired NSQF certification Level 4 but may

like to change their trade and may enter into CC in a different industry sector.

Category – 3 : students passed 10+2 examination with conventional schooling

without any background of vocational training.

The community college will develop curriculum and arrange for skill

intensive training / teaching for the learners belonging to the category-2 and 3 as

above during the first six months who will be assessed and certified for NSQF

Level 4 of skill competency by concerned SSC at the end of first semester.

However, learners belonging to category-1 will not require such certification as

they already have NSQF level 4 certificates in same industry sector / job role

required for specified skill credits.

All the learners continuing to Diploma courses or further will be treated at

par from second semester onwards. Students may exit after six months with a CC

Certificate (NSQF Level 4) or may continue for diploma or advanced diploma

level courses. An academic progression for the students in vocational stream is

illustrated below:


Cumulative credits awarded to the learners in skill based vocational courses.

The curriculum in each of the years of the programme would be a suitable mix

of general education and skill development components. As is evident from Table

2 above, the General Education Component shall have 40 % of the total credits and

balance 60% credits will be of Skill Component. The Curriculum details should be

finalized before introduction of the courses.

4. Assessment

a. The Skill component of the course will be assessed and certified by

the respective Sector kill Councils. In case, there is no Sector Skill

Council for a specific trade, the assessment may be done by an allied

Sector Council or the Industry partner. The certifying bodies may

comply with and obtain accreditation from the National Accreditation

Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) set up under Quality

Council of India (QCI). Wherever the university/college may deem

fit, it may issue a joint certificate for the course(s) with the respective

Sector Skill Council(s).


b. The credits for the skill component will be awarded in terms of NSQF

level certification which will have 60% weightage of total credits of

the course in following manner.

c. The general education component will be assessed by the concerned

university as per the prevailing standards and procedures. The following

formula may be used for the credit calculation in general education

component of the courses:

i. General Education credit refers to a unit by which the course

work is measured. It determines the number of hours of

instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one

hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two hours of practical

work/field work per week. Accordingly, one Credit would

mean equivalent of 14-15 periods of 60 minutes each or 28 – 30

hrs of workshops / labs.

ii. For internship / field work, the credit weightage for equivalent

hours shall be 50% of that for lectures / tutorials.

iii. For self-learning, based on e-content or otherwise, the credit

weightage for equivalent hours of study shall be 50% of that for

lectures / tutorials.

d. Letter Grades and Grade Points

Letter Grades and Grade Points: The UGC recommends a 10-point grading

System with the following Letter grades as given below:


A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and will be required

to reappear in the examination.

Computation of SGPA and CGPA:

Following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) may be adopted:

i. The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits

with the grade points scored by a student in all the course components

taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the

courses undergone by a student in a semester, i.e

SGPA (Si) = Σ(Ci x Gi) / ΣCi

where „Ci‟is the number of credits of the ith course component and

„Gi‟ is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course

component.

ii. The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account

all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a

programme, i.e.

CGPA = Σ(Ci x Si) / Σ Ci

where „Si‟ is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number

of credits in that semester.


iii. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and

reported in the transcripts.

DIPLOMA IN HEALTH CARE ASSISTANCE
