Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
Skill-based Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc.) programmes under the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) are organised as a ladder of NSQF levels, each with a fixed total credit requirement built from a skill component and a general-education component. A full undergraduate B.Voc. degree corresponds to the top rung of this ladder (NSQF Level 7), and its credit requirement is the cumulative credit count for completing the whole programme.
Applying it here
The B.Voc. degree spans six semesters (three years) and sits at NSQF Level 7. The framework fixes the cumulative course-work requirement at each level as follows:
NSQF Level | Award | Total credits | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Level 5 | Diploma | 60 | 2 semesters |
Level 6 | Advanced Diploma | 120 | 4 semesters |
Level 7 | B.Voc. Degree | 180 | 6 semesters |
Reading off the Level 7 row, the full undergraduate B.Voc. degree requires 180 credits of course work.
Cross-check
The credit total rises by 60 credits for every additional academic year (60 -> 120 -> 180), matching the standard load of about 30 credits per semester.
Within the 180 credits, the skill component carries 60% and general education the remaining 40%, so the two parts add back to the same 180-credit total expected for the complete degree.
