The PG Diploma in Vocational Education and Training is back for a fresh batch, and the application window is now open. Students who want to build a career teaching vocational skills can apply online through a Google Form. Fill it before 9 October 2026, because late forms won’t be accepted.
The course is run by the Pandit Sunderlal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education (PSSCIVE), Bhopal, a constituent unit of NCERT under the Ministry of Education. It runs in Distance-Cum-Contact Mode, which means part of the learning happens remotely and part through in-person contact sessions.
How to apply for PSSCIVE PGDVET 2026-27
There is one step to start: fill the Applicant Information Form (PGDVET 2026-27) online. Submit it through the Google Form here: https://forms.gle/6cxst2EobtGmXguFA.
Along with the form, candidates pay an application fee of ₹1,000. It is non-refundable and must be paid online through any nationalized bank.
Fee structure
The full programme costs ₹25,000, paid online from any nationalized bank. Here is the break-up:
| Fee Component | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Admission Fee | 1,000 |
| Tuition Fee (Exempted for SC/ST candidates) | 4,000 |
| Semester I: Delivery of the Programme | 10,000 |
| Semester II: Delivery of the Programme | 10,000 |
| Total Programme Fee | ₹25,000 |
SC and ST candidates get a break here. Their tuition fee of ₹4,000 is waived.
There’s also a useful exit route. A candidate who leaves after Semester I can walk out with a Certificate in Vocational Pedagogy instead of the full diploma.
