Career Oriented Add-on Programmes

St. Albert's College offer the following career oriented ad-on courses.

UGC Sponsored add-on Courses for Degree Students

The objective of the scheme is to introduce career and market-oriented, skill enhancing add-on courses that have utility for job, self-employment and empowerment of the students.

This program will run parallel to the conventional B.A., B.Com and B.Sc. degrees. At the end of three years, the students will be equipped with a Certificate/ Diploma/ Advanced Diploma in an add-on orientation course along with a conventional degree in Science/ Arts/ Commerce.

Evaluation and Certification

The certificate will be issued by the University or in the joint name of University and college. Credit system is followed in these courses. Since the contents of the proposed subjects being different from what is generally available in Universities and Colleges, experts from the respective fields will teach much of the content of new subjects. The most important aspect of the course is the practical training given to the students. Out of the 30 credits allotted for each course 10 credits are assigned for practical training alone - a clear distinction between career-oriented subjects and other academic subjects. The course is conducted outside the normal working hours of the college. Since UGC provides financial support for meeting initial expenditure such as books and equipments a moderate amount of fees will be collected from students who pursue these courses.
