Interviewer instructions
The course indicates the broad subject for which the person is currently attending.
For school education upto class X for which generally no specialisation is available code 1 will be given. However, the concept of ‘general course’ here is a bit different from that used in paragraph 1.7.21. Here the term is restricted upto the education in class X. After class X the courses can be coded according to the broad classification as above. Arts and humanities i.e code 02 is applicable for broad subjects like History, Classical studies, Cultural and Media studies, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Popular Culture, Geography etc. Science i.e code ‘03’ is applicable for subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematical Sciences,
Biological Sciences, Geology, Economics etc. However, for subjects like Geography, Economics etc. it should be verified that whether that subject is treated as science or arts in the institute, where the member is studying. For subjects related to Commerce, code ‘04’ is applicable. Codes ‘05’ and ‘06’ are applicable to subjects related to Medical Sciences and Engineering, respectively. Subjects like Apicultures, Sericulture, Agricultural philosophy, Aquaculture, Agronomy and Horticulture, Soil science, etc. should be covered under Agriculture i.e Code ‘07’. Codes ‘08’ and ‘10’ are applicable to subjects related to Law and Management, respectively. Code ‘11’ is for Education, which covers subjects related to the profession of teaching. Code ‘12’ relates to subjects like Chartered Accountancy, Cost Accountancy, Company Secretariate, etc. Keeping in view the large number of persons participating in Information Technology (IT) courses, details about such courses will be collected appropriately in codes 14 to 17 on the basis of the eligibility criteria for admission in such courses. All the vocational courses excluding those relating to IT should be given code 18.
