Objective of the Scheme |
|
The
objective of the Scheme is to develop quality
manpower in IT by utilizing the expertise available
with the non-formal computer training institutes.
Computer training institutes/organizations in the
non-formal sector, subject to meeting well-defined
norms and criteria, are granted accreditation for
conducting specified Levels of courses ranging from:
|
|
The
courses are to be conducted according to prescribed
syllabus for each Level. Students from accredited
institutes as well as working professionals are
eligible to appear for the examinations at these
Levels conducted by the DOEACC Society, if they
fulfill the prescribed eligibility criteria. |

Accreditation |
|
The
prospectus for each Level of courses, namely, 'O'/
'A' /'B'/ 'C', specifies the norms and criteria,
governing accreditation for that Level. Institutes
Screening Committee is constituted by the Society,
consisting of a Convener and two members,
specifically in each case to make an on the spot
inspection of the institutes and make
recommendations on grant of accreditation. The
Convener and members are chosen from a database of
experts. Based on the recommendations, accreditation
is granted. As on 1st January 2004 about 839
institutes have been approved in the country to
conduct 1133 courses ('O' Level 739, 'A' Level 303,
'B' Level 81 and 'C' Level 10) to conduct DOEACC
accredited courses.

Examinations
|
|
Examinations are conducted twice a year in January
and July for all the level of courses, namely
`O'/`A'/`B'/`C' on All India basis in about 106
centres. The total number of papers, for all the
Levels, to be set for the examination is 148. The
number of paper/module candidates for the last
examination (July 2003) was about 1,94,275. The
examinations are managed by a Board of Examinations
consisting of academia and professionals. As on 1st
January 2004, a total of 42,080 candidates have been
issued certificates so far out of the 69,055
candidates who have qualified all the theory papers
at the respective levels.
|
Flexibility
|
-
Vertical
integration at 'O', 'A' and 'B' Level courses
exists. Three subjects at 'O' Level are common
with 'A' Level and 10 subjects of 'A' Level are
common with 'B' Level. Eligible students get
exemption in such subjects.
-
The
Scheme is highly flexible. Students can join the
Scheme from diverse academic background and
lateral entry is also permitted. For example, a
student after qualifying 'O' Level can move to 'A'
Level, then to 'B' Level and finally to 'C' Level.
A graduate can directly join 'B' level and also a
student undergoing graduation can concurrently opt
for 'A' level. However, the certificate is given
to the student only after completion of the
degree.
-
Keeping
in view the industry's need and with the fast
changing technology in IT field; DOEACC Courses
are regularly upgraded and revised. Necessary
feedback and inputs are obtained from industry,
academia and training institutes through national
and regional workshops, which are held regularly.

Recognition
|
|
DOEACC 'O'
and 'A' level qualifications are recognized for the
purpose of employment by the Government of India,
vide notification Nos. F.18-23/92-TD. V/TS-IV dated
the 1st March 1995 and 10th April 1996 respectively.
Recognition of 'B' Level qualification as equivalent
to MCA, as announced by AICTE. Recognition to DOEACC
'C' Level qualification is expected shortly. Leading
computer software organizations in the private
sector have recognized DOEACC Qualifications. DOEACC
'A' level is considered equivalent to CAITs 'FE-SS'
(Fundamental Information Technology Engineers
Examination of Skill Standards) under the
fundamental IT examination scheme of Japan as per
the MoU signed between DOEACC and CAIT of Japan. |

Syllabus |
|
Syllabus
for different levels are designed and finalized by a
Syllabus Committee for each Level, consisting of
academicians and professionals in the computer field
including representatives from the IT industry.
Syllabi are
updated at reasonable intervals to meet the
requirements of industry. Teaching for Third Revised
syllabus in respect of DOEACC 'O' and 'A' level
courses has commenced from January 2003 and the
first examination was conducted in July, 2003 and in
respect of 'B' and 'C' Level courses has commenced
from July 2003 and first examination held in
January 2004. The revised syllabi have been designed
to facilitate students in the development of
concept-based approach for problem solving using IT
as a tool. The self-learning approach is built into
the syllabus, thereby training the candidates to
update themselves on the changing technologies in
their area of work. Salient features of the revised
version include:
(a) Introduction of practical examinations for the
first time.
(b) Introduction of credit scheme to facilitate
other academic organizations/ universities in India
and abroad for determining the academic professional
equivalence and Inclusion of Free domain.
(c) Software in the curricula.
