DRESS DESIGNING AND TAILORING
1
1. Brief Outline
The Certificate Programme in Dress Designing and Tailoring is to be offered under the umbrella of
the Distance Education Cell (DEC) of the Dayalbagh Educational Institute. The programme is
presently run by the Women’s Polytechnic. The mode and sequence of presentation of the course
material for the certificate programme presently offered on-campus and the one offered in
distance mode will be the same.
Keeping in view the objectives of Distance Education, the Certificate programme in Dress
Designing and Tailoring will be offered at several locations within the country.
In the planned mode of execution, DEI provides academic guidelines, supervision and vetting of all
course material, and maintains academic and administrative control over the course. All course
material will be developed, reviewed and vetted by a team headed by the Course Coordinator of
the Certificate programme presently running at DEI Women’s Polytechnic. It would be desirable
that the Mentor for the programme spends 7-10 days on the DEI Campus to observe the day to
day running of the programme before the commencement of the programme.
The primary content of the Certificate programme in Dress Designing and Tailoring in video
DVD/CD (VCD) format has been prepared at DEI. Other course material including Reading
Material, Question Banks, have also been prepared by the DEI team. This course will initially run in
asynchronous mode as specified below.
VCD’s of lessons along with the requisite course material will be provided to the study centre,
to be viewed on a large screen television.
Theory and practical work will go together (pl. see the proposed schedule on p.3).
The course will run at the study centers under the supervision of one to two qualified, trained
and competent Mentors.
The Mentors will be responsible for:
o Course administration, conduct of examinations, and continuous evaluation.
o Conduct of daily practicals, and clearing of all doubts of the students.
o Operating the electronic systems necessary to display the audio-visual material for
lectures.
o Arranging and supervising project work and reading assignments.
o Setting of quiz and class tests.
o Performing the role of a facilitator/liaison between the students and the Course
Coordinator at D.E.I.
The Certificate holder will acquire the required skills over a period of two semesters. The teaching
will be divided into a 80% practical component and 20% theory lecture component. Mentors
should note that the Certificate programme is to lay full stress on practical aspects as reflected in
the ratio mentioned above. The primary purpose of the programme is to enable the students to
focus on a particular set of working skills which should lead to a vocation or employment. The
evaluation will be done by external as well as internal experts.

The following employment opportunities are visualized for Certificate holders in Dress Designing
and Tailoring.
The maximum number of students to be admitted will be 10. Students who have passed Class 10
will be eligible for the course, irrespective of age.
A student admitted to the course will have to pay Rs.1500/- per semester for the course material
which includes lesson handouts.
1st Semester *
3
2nd Semester *
*The courses of second semester will be offered during Jan- May, 2008
**Institute Core courses
# One credit is equivalent to 30 hrs. of study and/or doing practical work per semester which includes attending the academic
counseling sessions, studying the lesson notes with comprehension, going through other course related documents, listening
to/ viewing the audio- visual programmes, working on class and home assignments, self learning etc. Thus, a 3 credit
course will mean a minimum of 90 hrs. study / practical work time per semester.
Notes:
Weightage for attendance in each theory course will be as per D.E.I. system ( >95% 10 marks, 90-95% 8 marks, 85-89% 6
marks, 75-84% 4 marks, 65-74% 2 marks, < 65% 0 mark.)
Weightage for attendance in each practical course will be as per D.E.I. system ( >95% 20 marks, 90-95% 16 marks, 85-89%
12 marks, 75-84% 8 marks, 65-74% 4 marks, < 65% 0 mark.)
P.T./Games will be compulsory in both the semesters, regularity & performance of the student shall be evaluated under Co-
curricular activities.
There are five proffesionsl courses and two institute core courses per semester.
Each theory course is divided into five units.
Each unit of each course will be taught through:
o three video sessions (30 mts each)
o three theory / practical sessions (2 hours each)
The practical sessions are based on a set of exercises to be carried out by the students in
the class, or at home if they are unable to complete the work, or on Saturdays during
extra optional working hours.
For each course, in each week, there will, therefore, be one contact session of 2.5 hours
duration which will have two parts: a 30 minute video session covering salient aspects of
the exercises planned for the day, followed by a practical session of two hours.
Every unit of a paper thus gets covered in 3 weeks, and every course in 15 weeks.
The video module will be screened and explained, and doubts cleared by the Mentor. Video
re-screening in parts may be done during the practical session if felt necessary by the
mentor.
The lesson content of each module will be provided on a separate VCD along with
o A detailed script of the lecture
o Quiz with key (for the Instructor)
Assuming a Semester of 18 weeks, 15 x 2.5 hours contact sessions per course are planned
as outlined above. Three additional contact weeks are for two Series tests and one End
Semester Examinations. Continuous evaluation quizzes as per the DEI pattern will be
scheduled only on Saturdays.
In addition, any optional videos not part of the syllabus may be screened on Saturdays.
4
A suggested weekly screening schedule is given below. The actual schedule may be adjusted
according to local holidays. Quiz and test weeks can be planned, as is done in DEI. A schedule for
these will be worked out on a Semester-wise basis and notified in advance to the students.
5.4.2 Course:
Each course is identified by a course number which contains three letters and three integers. The
syllabus of each subject is divided into a convenient number of courses spread over the various
semesters.
This is the soul of our innovative programme and radically alters the learning process to the
benefit of the students. The result of a single examination does not determine the fate of the
students. Examination and evaluation is a continuous and an unburdensome exercise. Seventy five
per cent weightage is assigned to continuous evaluation while 25% weightage is assigned to
external end semester examination in each course.
(1) The syllabus is distributed over two semesters. Grasp and knowledge of the subject is
evaluated in bits continuously and periodically thereby putting lesser burden on the student as
compared to evaluation by one examination at the end of the session. The End Semester
examination papers will be set by D.E.I. & evaluated by the examiners appointed by D.E.I.
(2) The courses allotted for a particular semester are completed by the end of the semester and
also examined and evaluated simultaneously, thereby reducing the amount of material to be
studied at one time.
(3) The mode of evaluation is also varied, depending upon the nature of the subjects and topics.
In general, the following components of evaluation are adopted:
(4) The student's performance is assessed throughout the semester by continuous evaluation
followed by an end-semester examination which covers the entire syllabus.
(5) The number of credits allotted to each course depends on the relative time a student is
expected to devote for the respective course,
(6) Each component of evaluation is assigned a certain weightage towards the computation of
over-all performance in each course.
5
(7) A Progress Report is issued after each odd semester (first semester of an academic session)
and the declaration of the result of each academic session is based on student's performance over
both the semesters of the session.
(8) The student's performance for a session is indicated through a result card issued to the student
after each even end-semester examination of a session which shows his achievements in each of
the courses registered for.
(9) The Institute follows the credit-system of education and as such the marks obtained by the
students and the maximum marks assigned for the different courses, in a semester or in all the
semesters of a programme of study, are not mentioned in the result cards of the students in
absolute terms. Instead, the students in all the courses are evaluated out of a uniform value of
200 and credits are assigned to all the courses in accordance with their relative weightages, and
based thereon weighted percentage (%) in the progress (result) card of the odd (even) semester
is mentioned.
Thus, the obtained marks and the maximum marks for the different courses of a semester or all
the semesters of a programme of the institute are not mentioned in absolute terms in the result
cards of students as these do not serve any purpose, as the students are graded in absolute
percentage terms which are mentioned in their result cards. However, the person desirous to know
the absolute value of the obtained marks and the maximum marks in the different courses of a
student can calculate these from his result cards by simple arithmetic process.
(10) In evaluating performance, weightage will be given to: (a) the marks obtained in a course,
and (b) course credits. The percent marks obtained overall at the end of the second semesters will
be taken to be equivalent to:
Σ (course credits x percent marks)
2semesters
___________________________________
Σ (course credits)
2semesters
Where the marks are obtained out of 200 in the nth course and are the credits assigned to the nth
course.
In the final semester result card, the cumulative %, showing the overall performance of a student
in a programme is also shown. The cumulative % is calculated by simple averaging of the
weighted % of all the semesters.
(11) The final result card issued to a student on completion of all the semesters is computed from
the progress/result cards of the two semesters and his/her overall performance is indicated as
under:
Percentage of Marks obtained Division
75% & above First with distinction
60% & above but below 75% First
45% & above but below 60% Second
35% & above but below 45% Pass
Below 35% Unsatisfactory
(12) Minimum percentage of marks for a- pass is 35% in each individual course. Securing less
than 35% marks in any course will be treated as having failed in that course. If a candidate fails in
three or less than three courses in one academic session, he may opt for Summer Remedial
Course(s).
(13) Failure in a course due to non-appearance in studies and/or examination(s) on medical or any
other ground, whatsoever, will he treated as failure in that course.
(14) If a candidate fails in more than three courses in one academic session or if he fails to pass
all the courses after the summer remedial courses or if he misses one/both the semesters of an
academic session in part or whole, he will get only one more chance to repeat all the courses of
the said session in the next succeeding session as per rules framed on the subject, but he shall not
be enrolled as a regular student.
6
(ii) Fails in more than three courses or fails to pass all the courses after the summer remedial
courses or if he misses one/both semesters, he will be required to leave the Institute and he will
not be re-admitted.
(16) A student will be allowed to remain on the rolls of the Institute for Certificate course for a
period up to Two years only.
The following Table shows various courses that support the competence profile outlined in Section.4.
