About us

Established in 2018, the Centre for Vocational Studies was founded with the vision of promoting skill-based higher education and addressing the growing demand for trained professionals in the healthcare sector. The Centre initially introduced the Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc.) programme in Medical Laboratory and Molecular Diagnostic Technology with support from the University Grants Commission (UGC) under the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Kaushal Kendra (DDU-KK) Scheme. Building on this foundation, the Centre subsequently expanded its academic offerings to include programmes in Operation Theatre Technology and Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology. Following the establishment of the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) and the introduction of a unified national regulatory framework for Allied and Healthcare Professions, the academic programmes offered by the Centre have been aligned with the guidelines, standards, and competency-based curriculum framework prescribed by NCAHP, with effect from the academic session 2025 onwards. As part of this transition, the nomenclature of the programmes has also been revised in accordance with the professional designations prescribed under the national framework. Accordingly, the Centre now offers the following programmes:  Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science (BMLS)  Bachelor of Anaesthesia and Operation Theatre Technology (BAOTT)  Bachelor of Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology (BMRIT) The adoption of the NCAHP-aligned framework ensures that the academic structure, curriculum, clinical training, practical exposure, and professional competencies of these programmes conform to the prescribed national standards for Allied and Healthcare Professions. This transition further strengthens the quality, standardisation, and professional relevance of the programmes, enabling the Centre to contribute effectively to the development of skilled, competent, ethical, and professionally equipped healthcare professionals capable of meeting the evolving requirements of the healthcare sector.
