Vocational Subjects: These are career-oriented subjects included in school curriculums to provide hands-on training and knowledge in fields like agriculture, healthcare, hospitality, IT, retail, or mechanical work.
NSQF Subjects: NSQF is a competency-based framework that aligns skills training with industry requirements. It categorizes courses and qualifications based on levels (1-10) to ensure standardization and promotes learning that meets occupational needs.
