After 10th / 12th
A full year of job-ready skills and a diploma before or alongside college.
Loading…
A one-year advanced diploma that takes you from computer basics to Advanced Excel, Tally Prime with GST, design in Photoshop and CorelDRAW, and simple web pages in HTML — practised daily in the techcadd Computer Institute Jalandhar lab and finished with an internship letter.
techcadd Computer Institute's Advanced Diploma in Computer Applications (ADCA) in Jalandhar is a twelve-month programme for students after 10th or 12th, graduates and job seekers who want one qualification that covers office work, accounts and design — and the time to get properly good at each.
The first months cover everything in DCA: computer fundamentals, Windows, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, internet and typing. The year then goes deeper — Advanced Excel with lookups, pivot tables and MIS reports; Tally Prime with GST including invoices, returns data and reports; Photoshop and CorelDRAW for print and social designs; and HTML basics to build a simple web page.
The diploma ends with a final project and an internship letter, so you leave with a verifiable diploma, a typing speed record and a portfolio that shows accounts, spreadsheet and design work — useful whether you apply for an accounts desk, a DTP job or a general office role.
Office, accounts and designADCA is open to anyone who has passed 10th. It starts from the basics and builds up over the year, so you do not need prior computer experience.
A full year of job-ready skills and a diploma before or alongside college.

ADCA students often study alongside college or part-time work, so batches run in the morning, afternoon, evening and on weekends. Students come from Model Town, Jawahar Nagar, Basti Bawa Khel, Rama Mandi and Urban Estate, with regulars from Phagwara, Kapurthala, Nakodar and Adampur. If you miss a class, your trainer helps you catch up in lab time.
Office and MIS, accounts with GST, and DTP/design — ADCA gives you the skills to apply in all three.
