An Evaluation of Vocational Education Scheme of UGC

Abstract

The Study on Evaluation of Vocational Education at the graduate level was undertaken by the IAMR at the instance of the Planning Commission during the year 2000. The study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the students and point out the shortcomings of the courses at the vocational education level. The study was conducted at the graduate level in 16 colleges from four different universities in four States. The main objective of the study is to review the existing courses based on the employability of the graduates and to examine the process of implementation of the Vocational Stream vis-à-vis the UGC guide lines. The Study suggests ways and means to increase the employability of girl students, and to make the courses more suitable to local needs and conditions.
