Degree, B.Voc, Diploma & Executive โ€” what Kalinga University offers

Kalinga University's programmes span various qualification formats. Here's what each one actually means, and which programmes fall under it.

B.Voc

69 Programmes

B.Voc (Bachelor of Vocation) is an undergraduate degree programme that combines academic learning with practical, industry-aligned skill development. Designed for students who want to build both a recognised bachelor's qualification and career-focused competencies, B.Voc programmes place greater emphasis on applied learning alongside theoretical education.

B.Voc programmes are available across a range of professional and emerging domains, including Software Development, Data Science, Computer Applications and Information Technology, Cloud & DevOps, Cybersecurity, UI/UX Design, Graphic & Digital Design, Digital Marketing, Retail Management and Financial Services, depending on the university and programme.

The typical duration of a B.Voc programme is three years, with Class 12 or equivalent qualification generally serving as the entry point.

At EasyShiksha, students can explore B.Voc programmes offered by partner universities across different domains and learning modes. Available programmes may be offered through Online or Hybrid modes, depending on the specific university and programme.

B.Voc is a suitable option for students seeking an undergraduate education that connects academic knowledge with practical skills and professional applications. Students can also explore further education, including M.Voc, for advanced specialisation after graduation.

D.Voc

138 Programmes

Diploma in Vocation (D.Voc) is a vocational education programme designed to provide students with practical knowledge, occupational skills and industry-oriented learning in a specific vocational field. The programme focuses on developing competencies that can support further education, professional skill development and entry into relevant occupational areas. The exact academic structure, curriculum, duration and qualification requirements depend on the university or institution offering the D.Voc programme.

D.Voc courses may be available across diverse domains such as information technology, healthcare, hospitality, tourism, retail, management, accounting, design, media, agriculture, engineering-related skills and other vocational areas. The available D.Voc specialisations vary by institution and programme.

D.Voc eligibility and D.Voc duration are not universal and should be checked for each programme. Depending on the course, admission may be based on school-level education or another recognised qualification, while specific programmes can have additional subject or academic requirements. Students should refer to the official admission criteria of the selected university.

D.Voc programmes are generally focused on applied and skill-based education and may include practical training, projects, workshops or other occupational learning components, depending on the curriculum. Learning modes also vary by institution.

At EasyShiksha, students can explore and compare D.Voc programmes by university, specialisation, eligibility, duration, learning mode, curriculum and career relevance to identify options aligned with their academic and professional goals.

Kalinga University online degrees: what you need to know

Kalinga University is a UGC-recognised private university, Established in 2013 and based in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. For students evaluating whether an online degree from Kalinga University is worth pursuing, three approvals matter most: UGC recognition under Section 12B (which makes the university's degrees valid at all), UGC-DEB approval for the specific programme's Online/ODL delivery (which makes the online format itself valid), and โ€” for technical programmes โ€” AICTE approval.

What a NAAC B+ grade means in practice

Kalinga University holds a NAAC B+ accreditation grade. NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) grades institutional quality on a letter scale, and B+ reflects a good standard across the criteria NAAC assesses โ€” infrastructure, teaching quality, governance, and student outcomes among them. It's worth noting this is a quality signal, not itself a requirement for degree validity; a university can be fully UGC-recognised without any NAAC grade at all, so Kalinga University having one is an additional trust marker rather than a bare minimum.

Choosing among Kalinga University programmes

Kalinga University's current online catalogue spans Engineering & Technology (B.Tech, B.Voc in Software Development, Advanced Diploma in Cloud Computing, Diploma in Cybersecurity, and Embedded Systems, VLSI & Robotics) and Business & Management (BBA, MBA, and Executive MBA). Students choosing between them should generally start from career goal and required qualification level โ€” a full Bachelor's or Master's Degree for long-term career or further-study eligibility, a shorter Diploma or Advanced Diploma for a faster, more focused credential, or B.Voc for direct, skills-oriented employability alongside recognised degree status.

Applying through EasyShiksha specifically

Applications submitted through EasyShiksha follow a tracked process โ€” personal information, document upload, application fee, and a visible status through to Under Review and Accepted โ€” rather than an opaque email-based enquiry. This doesn't change what Kalinga University itself approves or requires; it simply makes the application process transparent from the student's side, with a reference ID and dashboard visibility at every step.
