Career Options
The Certificate Programme in Textile Designing and Printing is to be offered under the umbrella of the Distance Education Cell (DEC) of the Dayalbagh Educational Institute. The programme is presently run by the Women’s Polytechnic. The mode and sequence of presentation of the course material for the certificate programme presently offered on-campus and the one offered in distance mode will be the same.
Broad Mode of Execution
Keeping in view the objectives of Distance Education, the Certificate programmein Textile Designing and Printing will be offered at several locations within the country.
In the planned mode of execution, DEI provides academic guidelines; supervision and vetting of all course material, and maintains academic and administrative control over the course. All course material are developed, reviewed and vetted by a team headed by the Course Coordinator of the Certificate programme presently running at DEI Women’s Polytechnic. It would be desirable that the Mentor for the programme spends 7-10 days on the DEI Campus to observe the day to day running of the programme before the commencement of the programme.
The primary content of the Certificate programmein Textile Designing and Printing in video DVD/CD (VCD) format has been prepared at DEI. Other course material including Reading Material, Question Banks, have also been prepared by the DEI team. This course will initially run in asynchronous mode as specified below.
In particular, students successfully completing the programme should be able to:
The Certificate holder will acquire the required skills over a period of two semesters. The teaching will be divided into a 80% practical component and 20% theory lecture component. Mentors should note that the Certificate programme is to lay full stress on practical aspects as reflected in the ratio mentioned above. The primary purpose of the programmeis to enable the students to focus on a particular set of working skills which should lead to a vocation or employment. The evaluation will be done by external as well as internal experts.
Continuous Evaluation:
Theory Course (i) Class Tests (ii) Quiz Tests (iii) Assignments (iv) Seminars & Group Discussions (v) Attendance (vi) End-semester Examination |
