SALIENT FEATURES OF DOEACC SCHEME 1. 1.1 PREAMBLE The rapid growth and transformation of Information Technology (IT), in the late eighties, generated tremendous career opportunities. To fill this escalating demand for computer professionals, a large number of private institutions mushroomed, with variegated shades of excellence. Though some of these institutes were good, many charged exorbitant fees without providing commensurate training to their students. This created widespread concern not only over the proliferation of such institutes, but their credibility. To remedy the situation, the Department of Electronics (DOE) now Department of Information Technology (DIT) formulated a comprehensive policy on Computer Software Export. Embodied therein, was Software Development and Training to generate quality manpower by harnessing the competence and expertise existing in the private sector computer training institutes, thereby widening the educational opportunities in the area of computers. The Department of Electronics Accreditation of Computer Courses (DOEACC) Scheme is the outcome of a joint effort of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the DIT based on this policy. The profile aims at presenting the features of DOEACC Scheme which is implemented by the DOEACC Society (hereinafter referred to as the Society). The Society is an autonomous organisation under the DIT. OVERVIEW OF THE DOEACC SCHEME The Scheme came into being in 1991, with the full support of a large number of institutes, in the private sector, that conduct computer training courses. The Scheme has a dual role -

2. 2.1

2.2

2.2.1 first: to set standards for the conduct of computer training, by institutes, at four Levels of `O' (Foundation), `A' (Advanced Diploma), `B' (MCA) and `C' (M.Tech.). 2.2.2 second: to open the non-formal sector, to develop IT manpower, to meet the shortage. 2.3 Functional areas of the Society -

2.3.1 Apart from administration of the Scheme, there are three functional areas of Accreditation, Registration and Examination. 2.3.2 Accreditation is the process of granting permission, to an institution applying for it, to conduct a DOEACC course.

2.3.3 Registration is the process through which a candidate gets into the DOEACC Scheme and is a mandatory requirement to appear in a DOEACC examination. 2.3.4 Examinations are held, under the Scheme, twice a year, at important cities and towns all over India and test not only the candidates, but also the institutes conducting accredited courses, the latter as determined by the number of candidates who take the examinations through respective institutes and the percentage of candidates who pass. 3. 3.1 SYLLABUS The syllabus for `O' Level has been revised. The revised syllabus consists of three compulsory module and one elective module. The compulsory modules are `IT Application and Tools', Business Systems & Internet & Web Page Designing. Each elective module is to be chosen from two subjects. The structure of the diversified `O' Level syllabus is indicated below: Code Subject

M1 IT Applications & Tools. M2 Business System. M3 Internet & Web Page Designing. M4 Elective:(One out of the following two subjects to be chosen) M4.1 Programming & Problem solving through C language. M4.2 Programming & Problem solving through VB.

The minimum number of contact hours for each of the above cited modules is indicated in the Table appended. A project is to be completed by the candidates taking the `O' Level examination. Details are given under the head PROJECT. Candidates are allowed a maximum of ten consecutive examinations, reckoned from the examination which a candidate is eligible to take as indicated in the letter of allotment of registration number to the candidate, for completing successfully the `O' Level examination. EXAMINATION PATTERN The examination for each subject would be for a duration of three hours and the total marks for each subject would be 100. Dates for the various activities connected with examinations will be announced through newspapers, well in advance of the examinations. Holding of laboratory work and its examination will be the responsibility of the institutions/organizations, which are running the course. The Society will

be responsible for holding the examination for theory papers. In the case of students- at-large, who are taking the examinations as direct candidates, undertaking laboratory work is not obligatory as they are expected to be at the appropriate working level. However, they are required to submit project reports, as in the case of other candidates from the institutes conducting accredited courses and for this purpose, the direct candidates have to make their own arrangements. 4.4 To qualify for a pass in a module, a candidate must obtain at least 50%. The marks will be translated into grades, while communicating results to the candidates. The gradation structure is as below:Percentage Grade

4.5

50% - 54% D 55% - 64% C 65% - 74% B 75% - 84% A 85% and over S Failed (<50) F Revaluation of answer papers of candidates in examinations is not permissible. However, for verification of totals of marks in answer papers, candidates may apply with the stipulated fees and within the stipulated period, if they so desire. Successful candidates in `O' Level would be eligible for a certificate which is recognised as equivalent to Foundation Course by the Government of India for the purpose of employment. DURATION Minimum duration of the O Level course is offered as a part time only and is Course Duration :- One Year.

STUDENT GUIDE The Guide enumerates the salient features of the DOEACC Scheme and information relevant to examination, eligibility, publishing material etc.

PROJECT
There is one project at `O' Level. No marks are assigned for the project. A candidate is expected to carry out a project successfully and submit a certificate in the format shown below from the institute (where the candidate has undergone the accredited `O' Level course) or employer (if the candidate has appeared as a direct candidate).

CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that the project work done at ___________________________________ by Mr./Ms. ____________________________________ (DOEACC Registration No. _______________) in partial fulfillment of the `O' Level Examination, has been found satisfactory. This project report has not been submitted for any other examination and does not form part of any other course undergone by the candidate. It is further certified that he/she has appeared in all the modules.

M1: IT Applications and Tools

Objectives of the Course This Course has been designed to provide an introduction to information technology and its applications. This is an entry level course and does not have any other IT course as its pre-requisite. The course has been organized into two parts. The first part is theoretical and provides an exposure to the field of information technology from the perspective of a first time user. It provides overview of computer organization, data communication and computer networks, software and programming languages. By the end of the first part, a student will become IT literate, and will understand the basic IT terminology. The student will be able to understand the role of information technology and more specifically computers, communication technology, and software in the present social and economic scenario. The second part is oriented towards providing a practical exposure to the student enabling the student to use the computer for some common tasks. B the end of the y second part the student will be able to interact with a computer using MS Windows, perform word processing, do data analysis using a spreadsheet tool, browse the Internet and send/receive emails. The course content has been kept conceptual; avoiding details wherever possible, and does not expect the student to become expert on any specific version of a package.

Mini Project: (Visual FoxPro Programming)

Scope: To be proficient in Visual FoxPro programming concepts, like Screens, reports and file handling can be handled. Exercise 1: Consider a Library of any computer Institute. Draw a Menu Driven project consisting of Master. Transaction, Daily reports. The Master must contain entry of books, staff, faculty. The transaction must contain Issue /Return of book. (staff/student). Reports must contain daily reports i.e. fine collection. Books issued, current books available in library etc.. State all your assumptions.
