D.Voc in Plastic and Polymer Science
Program Overview
The D.Voc (Diploma) in Plastic and Polymer Science is a one-year skill-based vocational program designed to develop practical knowledge and technical skills in polymers, plastics processing, material testing, manufacturing, and industrial production. Plastic and polymer materials are widely used across automotive, packaging, electronics, construction, healthcare, consumer products, and other industries because of their versatility, durability, and lightweight properties. As polymer-based manufacturing continues to adopt advanced processing and quality-control technologies, skilled professionals are required to support plastic production, processing, testing, and quality operations.
The program provides foundational learning across important areas such as polymer science fundamentals, plastic materials, polymer chemistry, plastic processing techniques, moulds and dies, injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, compression moulding, material testing, quality control, industrial safety, and plastic recycling. Students gain hands-on experience through laboratory sessions, processing demonstrations, material-testing activities, workshops, practical assignments, and industry-oriented projects. The curriculum helps learners understand polymer properties, plastic processing methods, machine operations, product quality, material selection, and basic recycling and waste-management practices.
Across two semesters, students develop technical, analytical, measurement, production, troubleshooting, and quality-control skills required for entry-level roles in the plastics and polymer industry. They learn to identify polymer materials, assist with plastic processing operations, operate basic processing equipment, perform material and product inspections, identify common processing defects, and follow industrial safety and quality procedures. Graduates can explore career opportunities as Plastic Processing Technicians, Polymer Laboratory Assistants, Injection Moulding Assistants, Production Technicians, Quality Control Assistants, Plastic Testing Assistants, and Recycling Process Assistants. The D.Voc in Plastic and Polymer Science is suitable for students seeking practical and industry-oriented technical education in polymer materials, plastics processing, and manufacturing.
Eligibility Criteria
The minimum eligibility to take admission in D.Voc is 10+2 (in any stream) or equivalent or 2 year ITI Diploma after Class 10th or 3 Year Polytechnic Diploma after Class 10th.
