ECTION 3

EVIDENCE OF NEED

What evidence is there that the qualification is needed?

POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN VLSI AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS has been started in the year 2004 and

from then to 2015 total 467 students have been trained and 70% of the placement have been

happened. Hence from this It is evident that POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN VLSI AND EMBEDDED

SYSTEMS (PGDVES) is needed.

What is the estimated uptake of this qualification and what is the basis of this estimate?

The electronics industry has recorded very high growth in subsequent years. By 1991, private

investments both foreign and domestic were encouraged. The easing of foreign investment norms,

allowance of 100 percent foreign equity, reduction in custom tariffs, and delicensing of several

consumer electronic products attracted remarkable amount of foreign collaboration and investment.

The domestic industry also responded favorably to the politic policies of the government. The opening

of the electronics field to private sector enabled entrepreneurs to establish industries to meet hitherto

suppressed demand.

Improvements in the electronics industry have not been limited to a particular segment, but

encompass all its sectors. Strides have been made in the areas of commercial electronics, software,

telecommunications, instrumentation, positioning and networking systems, and defense. The result

has been a significant trade growth that began in the late 1990s.

Despite commendable achievements in the sphere of electronics, considerable infrastructural improvements remain a priority. Water, power, telecommunications, and transportation sectors must still be augmented so that high economic growth can be sustained.

The total electronic growth over a ten year period is given below

What steps were taken to ensure that the qualification(s) does/do not duplicate already

existing or planned qualifications in the NSQF?

The qualification is originally designed by curriculum committee comprising the training head,

industrial expert, academic professional experts.

The work group under the guidance of curriculum development committee already conducted desk

search as well as refers the qualification packs for as a supporting document for the mapping of

curriculum.

As per the search it is found that, the certificate course is not available for the skill development of the

candidates in Animation Sector under the Electronics Sector Skill Council of India.

What arrangements are in place to monitor and review the qualification(s)? What data will be

used and at what point will the qualification(s) be revised or updated?
