Preamble

The B.Voc in Software Development is a three-year undergraduate programme. It has been formulated with the guidelines of the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) 2023 as well as those laid down by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) 2023, which has been implemented as per the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The programme is designed to fulfil the growing need for educational programs that provide an opportunity to combine general education with vocational training for a broad-based development of theoretical knowledge and practical skills through its 60:40 skill/lab courses and general subjects in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

Programme Outcomes (POs)

As per the National Higher Education Qualifications Framework (NHEQF) 2023, graduates of the Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) in Software Development will demonstrate several key attributes, beginning with the ability to apply foundational knowledge in mathematics, computer science, and programming to develop effective software solutions. They will be equipped to identify, research, and analyze complex computing problems to reach substantiated conclusions, supported by strong critical thinking skills for evaluating evidence and making reasoned judgments. Graduates will approach challenges with creativity, innovation, and lateral thinking, while effectively communicating complex ideas across varied audiences. Furthermore, they will apply ethical methodologies in research and data analysis, functioning effectively both as individuals and as leaders within diverse, multidisciplinary teams. Their readiness to lead and inspire will be complemented by their proficiency in selecting and utilizing modern software tools to tackle complex computing tasks. This hands-on approach to current industry practices will significantly enhance their employability and competitive edge. Finally, graduates will act as responsible computing professionals by applying contextual reasoning to societal, ethical, legal, and cultural issues, while demonstrating empathy and emotional intelligence through an ability to understand and respect others.
