The courses will be in line with the new education policy and the degree for the B. Voc. program shall be awarded by the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). Girls who have passed their Class 12 from any stream and board will be eligible to apply for both the courses and the selection procedure will be based on first come first serve basis.

Radhika Ingle, director, SMART said, “The specialty of this course is that it is designed for girls. At present, girls are more involved in soft skills like proof reading or content writing but the participation of girls in technology-based areas like video technology, sound engineering or production should also be increased. Therefore, these courses have been designed with the objective of skill-based education. To enable students to receive better practical training we have also set up a state-of-the-art audio and a video studio.
