Food Processing & Engineering

Overview:

The UGC has launched a scheme on skill development based higher education as part of college / university education leading to Bachelor of vocation (B.Voc) degree with lateral entry & multiple exit option at diploma/Advance diploma level under the NSQF. The B.Voc program is focused on universities and colleges providing under graduate studies which would also incorporate specific job roles and their NOS’s along with board based general education .This could enable the graduates completing B.Voc to make meaning full participation in accelerating India’s economy by gaining appropriate employment , becoming entrepreneurs after acquiring appropriate knowledge.

Sticking to these great ideals, J.S.S College of Arts Commerce and Science, Ooty road Mysore, has started B.Voc (Food Processing & Engineering) programme from the academic year 2014-15 under the aegis of JSS Mahavidyapeetha, with the blessings of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswamiji. The starting of the programme is in tune with the objectives of JSS Mahavidyapeetha of providing an impetus to the study of basic sciences.

The B.Voc (Food Processing & Engineering) programme consists of 4 levels.

Level - 4 as Fruit pulp processing technician,
Level - 5 as Supervisor- fruits & Vegetables processing,
Level - 6 as Food regulatory affairs manager,
Level -7 as Production Manager.

Here level 4 & 5 are of semester type & Level 6,7 on annual basis with Continuous Assessment Grading Pattern (CAGP) methodology.

The course contents include hardcore processing & engineering concepts related to fruit & vegetable processing, Industrial visits, short term course training at CFTRI, Internships, market survey, Open Elective and Project work.
