The eligibility for these courses will require a candidate to have successfully passed 10+2 or equivalent examinations. The admissions will be based on the marks obtained by them.

Addressing the press, Javadekar said that the most of the students from B.A., B.Com, B.Sc background are unable to find a job as the general courses which they pursue do not train them for professional skills. With the addition of this, the employability of the graduates is expected to increase multifold.
