They have partnered with AICTE in their Leadership in Technical Excellence (LITE) Program that seeks to train 2.4 crore students and 100,000 teachers in emerging technologies such as Web Development

• Can I do just one of the Web Development courses?

Yes, you can but you will get a much better paying job if you do them all. Please be aware that you need to complete the intermediate course (WD 201) in order to be eligible to take the advanced course (WD 301)      

• What is the Academic Bank of Credits and should I sign up for credits for it.

The NEP 2020 had proposed the creation of the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) so that students can pursue their interests and earn credits from different institutions/ departments etc., wherever a course of their interest is available. Students can park these credits in the ABC and ask their home institutions to consume them towards the credit requirement for their degrees. So as a student if you have an interest in a broad range of topics, some of which are not available at the institutions you are studying at, then you must definitely sign up for the ABC, and take courses of your interest from other institutions. The ABC gives students freedom to take courses outside their home institutions and earn credits for it.

• How do I get an ABC ID?

The process for registering for the ABC ID is explained in detail, with videos, on the website https://www.abc.gov.in/

• I have an ABC ID but I forgot to submit it in the form. What happens now?

This is a problem because you could end up with a duplicate ID. NAD is automatically creating ABC IDs for students whose results universities upload. We are not sure if they check whether you have an ID already before they create a new one. You may email us at admissions.vep@tdu.edu.in with your ABC ID

• Can you explain the fee structure? Why is Pupilfirst offering subscription-based access and is it good for me?

Pupilfirst would like to make the course accessible to as many students as possible by reducing the cost to the maximum, which is why they are offering the subscription model. This way you can save money by completing the course as early as possible. Please note that the subscription fee is non-refundable.

• What is the format of the certificates and credits that I will receive from TDU?

TDU will be issuing e-certificates. They will be sent to your email address. The credits will be updated to your ABC account.

• When will I receive my certificates and credits?

You will send out e-certificates and update NAD within 6 weeks of the completion of each module.

• What if I have technical difficulties while working through the course?

Pupilfirst has put in multiple support mechanisms to help students. They have Teaching Assistants, and Pupilfirst Discord Server for engaging with the student community etc. Please visit this link for more information. 

• Whom can I contact if I have any further questions?

You can contact the Vocational Education Cell (VEC) at TDU on either email at admissions.vep@tdu.edu.in or on cell phone at +91 7019032148
