The study's goal was to gauge the level of technical expertise students at Madhya Pradesh Vocational Higher Secondary Schools had attained in the two years following their tenth-grade year. VHS skill courses are designed to teach students the information, skills, and attitudes necessary to succeed in their chosen field of study. Students will also learn how to be successful business owners. This article focuses on CSIT, a course from Vocational Higher Secondary Education's Skill-based courses collection. Students from 12 Vocational Higher Secondary Schools were randomly chosen from 94 state syllabus schools where the CSIT course was available. The data was gathered using a structured survey. The computer labs at all the schools examined were determined to be adequately stocked. With a laptop, a projector and high-speed internet connection in most of the classes, it was easy for students to stay connected. For 24 days a year, students were required to attend On-the-Job Training at well-known organisations. Students were asked to rate their progress on a scale of one to ten as they learned new abilities throughout the course of the study. VHS Schools Skill Courses were found to be an excellent fit for the kids, and the pupils exhibited strong comprehension and a realistic reaction to most of the skills they were taught. Many students benefited from the CSIT Course's hardware, software, and other skills.
