After 10th / 12th
A practical diploma to do alongside college or before choosing your next step.
Loading…
A six-month diploma that covers the full set of computer skills an office job expects — Windows, MS Office, internet, Tally Prime basics, typing and basic Photoshop — taught hands-on in the techcadd Computer Institute Jalandhar lab and finished with a project of your own.
techcadd Computer Institute's Diploma in Computer Applications (DCA) in Jalandhar is a six-month foundation programme for students after 10th or 12th, graduates and job seekers who want more than a short course — a recognised diploma and a broad, practical skill set in one go.
It starts with the computer and operating system, then spends real time on MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint, followed by internet, email and online services. The second half adds Tally Prime basics for billing and simple accounts, and an introduction to Photoshop for photos and simple designs. English and Punjabi typing practice runs alongside every module, so your speed builds steadily over six months.
The diploma ends with a project that pulls the tools together — documents, sheets, a set of Tally vouchers and a small design — so you finish with a diploma certificate, a typing speed record and a portfolio of your own work.
Six months of hands-on practiceDCA is open to anyone who has passed 10th. It starts from the basics, so earlier computer experience is helpful but not required.
