Programme Structure and Modular Scheme

Let us first understand the difference between a course and a programme. The basic unit of curriculum is a course of study. One or more number of related courses makes a programme. For example, Office Computing is a programme with five courses. Remember that the term course is frequently used in a different sense by other educational organisations.

The computer programmes designed by YCMOU are modular in nature i.e. programmes are made up of modules(courses). In this scheme a programme may contain one or more number of courses. Some of the courses may even be common to two or more programmes. This helps students to study the common courses under one programme and take advantage while studying other programmes.
Credit Points and Credit Transfer

YCMOU has accepted a modular programme structure. Every programme consists of one or more courses. Every course is characterised by the number of credit points (CP). The credit point of a programme is the sum of credit points of all the courses included in it. One credit point indicates around 30 to 40 hours of study. Hence to complete a programme of 10 credit points, student has to do about 300 to 400 hours of study. Appendix B shows the credit points for various courses. Many students enrol for more than one programmes in due course of time. Modular scheme enables such students to get credit transfer for the courses done successfully earlier. Student who has completed computer courses of YCMOU should claim credit transfer at the time of admission.
Academic Year and Semester System


A semester system has been adopted by the YCMOU for computer programmes. In this scheme, an academic year consists of two semesters, each of 6 months duration. The academic year is divided into the two semesters as follows:

First Semester: August To January
Second semester: February To July

The semester scheme allows students to be enrolled in February as well as August of each academic year. Most of the certificate programmes have duration of 6 months and hence can be completed in one semester, whereas most of the diploma programmes have 12 months duration and therefore can be completed in two semesters.

Duration of Programmes

The certificate level programmes normally are of 6 months duration and the diploma level programmes normally are of 12 months duration. The details of duration are given in below.
Eligibility

The eligibility criteria (entry qualifications) depend on the requirements of computer programmes. The details of eligibility criteria for each programme duration given below
Language of Instruction

Textbooks and workbooks of computer programmes are written in English. Examination will also be conducted in English. However, your co-ordinator, instructor or counselor may use both English and Marathi language to help you understand the subject well.

Certificate in CAD


Drafting done on paper has many limitations. It is difficult to make additions and alterations in the paper-based drawing. Moreover, such paper documents occupy huge storage space in the offices. The drawing loses its accuracy in dimensions due to ageing over a period of time. On the contrary, drawing made on the electronic media offers number of advantages. Electronic documents can easily be transmitted over thousands of kilometres in seconds. Electronic drawing is easy to modify and its fresh copy can be obtained with a click of a mouse. Looking at the benefits many companies are turning to Computer Aided Drafting. The programme includes fundamentals of drawing concepts. It also provides skills related to drawing, editing, hatching, dimensioning, plotting , block making, scaling, rotations, assembling etc. The CAD is useful to architects, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers and draftsmen.
