Welcome to the Integrated Engineering Programs for Working Professionals (IPWP)—an innovative approach to professional education designed to bridge the gap between industry and academia. With a unique hybrid learning model, the B.Voc(Engg) (Bachelor of Vocation) + B.Tech program is tailored to meet the needs of working professionals seeking to upskill without disrupting their careers.
The Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc.) is a three-year undergraduate degree program available in various fields for students who have completed their 12th standard or equivalent. Introduced by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in 2013, the B.Voc. program is designed with multiple entry and exit points, enabling students to earn a diploma after one year, an advanced diploma after two years, or a full-fledged B.Voc. degree upon completion of three years. This structure aligns with the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) and now integrates with the National Credit Framework (NCRF) 2023, allowing students to accumulate and transfer credits seamlessly across academic and vocational streams.
The UGC's scheme for skills development through higher education aims to provide students with a combination of specific job roles, their National Occupational Standards (NOSs), and a broad-based general education. The NCRF 2023 ensures that credits earned in B.Voc. programs are recognized nationally, facilitating academic progression, employment opportunities, or entrepreneurial ventures.
B.Voc. programs emphasize practical training, industry practices, and job readiness. Carefully designed in consultation with industries and employers, the curriculum equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to handle real-world complexities effectively. Graduates are empowered to participate meaningfully in India's economic growth by securing appropriate employment, becoming entrepreneurs, or contributing to knowledge creation and innovation. This integration with NCRF further enhances the program's accessibility, flexibility, and relevance in today’s dynamic job market.
Provision for employed/working professionals to upgrade their academic qualification/skill sets at diploma/degree/postgraduate level through flexible mode (timings). - AICTE CHAIRMAN Message (APH 2025-26)
"AICTE decided to give approvals for Diploma/BE/BTech/ME/MTech/MBA, etc., programmes for working professionals. This move is definitely going to give huge opportunity to working professionals to upgrade their skills and education simultaneously. Now every technical working professional will have an opportunity to pursue education without quitting a job or taking long leave. More importantly, as we approach the dawn of a new era, it becomes increasingly imperative to realise the importance of technical education in shaping a better tomorrow. Through technical education, the country can continue to produce a steady stream of innovators and entrepreneurs who can drive technological progress and advance its standing in the global knowledge economy." - VC AICTE
The certification levels will lead to Diploma/Advanced Diploma/B. Voc/B.Tech.
B.Voc at Industrial Centres and B.Tech will be offered at the University.
