Course Title
Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc.) in Food Processing
Offered by: Rabindranath Tagore University (RNTU), Madhya Pradesh
[Approved by University Grant Commission (UGC) & All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)]

Programme Overview
The B.Voc in Food Processing is a UGC-approved, skill-integrated 3-year degree programme under the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF).
It is designed to prepare students for employment or entrepreneurship in the fast-growing food processing sector, combining academic learning with industry-relevant skills.

Certification Pathway
B.Voc. Degree Programme – Year-Wise Qualifications and Certification
In most undergraduate degree programmes, learners receive their degree certificate only after successfully completing the entire programme. However, the B.Voc. degree programme offers an additional advantage: learners can receive a recognised qualification at each stage of successful completion.
​After Completing Year 1 – Diploma Certificate
Upon successfully completing the first year, you will receive a Diploma Certificate along with your official university marksheet.
After Completing Year 2 – Advanced Diploma Certificate
Upon successfully completing the second year, you will receive an Advanced Diploma Certificate along with your official university marksheet.
​After Completing Year 3 – B.Voc. Degree Certificate
Upon successfully completing all three years of the programme, you will be awarded the full B.Voc. Degree Certificate along with your official university marksheets.
This is a key advantage of the B.Voc. programme: your academic achievement is recognised at each stage, with the corresponding qualification awarded upon successful completion of the relevant year, subject to the applicable university regulations and programme requirements.

Multi-Entry & Multi-Exit Flexibility

  • Students may exit the programme after the 1st or 2nd year with a valid university certificate.

  • They may also rejoin at a later stage to complete the next academic level.

  • This makes it ideal for learners balancing work, family, or financial responsibilities.

  • Maximum duration to complete the entire programme: 6 years from the date of enrollment.

After each year, students gain a specific skillset that makes them employment-ready.
