Globalisation and the ongoing changes in information and communication technology have greatly influenced the demands of the employment sector. One of these has been the move to add a vocational component to general education at the degree level in order to enhance the employability of graduates entering the workforce which demands updated, marketable skills and multi-faceted capabilities. Vocationalisation of education is seen as an extended way to develop courses that will address the mismatch between what atypical graduate is capable of doing and what is needed in the employment scenario. Policy decisions were taken to initiate a change in perspective on the objectives of first Degree Education in India. The National Policy of Education, 1986 and Programme of Action, 1992 drawn up by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, India had emphasised the need to expose First degree students to the world of work by including practical oriented courses in the curriculum.
