1. About The Revised Syllabus

The fourth revised version of DOEACC ‘O’ Level (IT) syllabus came into effect in January 2010
examinations. Since then, much advancement has been observed in the area of Information
Technology. The need of industry has also changed with the availability of new and advanced
technologies and tools. With the advancement in technologies, the software development
practices have also changed. This also has led to change in job profile. Different job roles require
different skills. Moreover, the digital initiatives taken by Government have also changed the way
the business is taking place these days. These factors have led to bringing the revision in syllabus
of DOEACC ‘O’ Level (IT) course.

This document presents the fifth revised version of ‘O’ Level syllabus under DOEACC Scheme
which becomes effective for teaching with immediate effect. The syllabus of ‘O’ Level course
is designed to enhance the skills of students so as to enable them to solve problems using

5.3. Duration of the Course

The duration of ‘O’ level (IT) course is 540 learning hours and the minimum period to cover
contents is one year for candidates undergoing ‘O’ Level after 10+2 and six months for
candidates undergoing ‘O’ Level after Graduation.

6. Practical
The students have to devote 60%of the total time allotted to each module of the course for the
practical sessions. Practical assignments have been worked out for each theory module. The
Practical examinations will be based on the syllabi M1-R5.1, M2-R5.1, M3-R5.1 and M4-R5.1

paper.
8. Project
‘O’ Level (IT) courses has a project as an important component. The project is carried out by the
student under guidance and support of faculty and management of Institute / Organization where
the student is undergoing training. It is felt that such a project provides an opportunity to the
student to apply his / her knowledge and skills to real life problems (including oral and written
communication skills). The project should be given utmost importance and priority both by the
students as well as institution faculty / management in respect of its identification, planning and

A Read only Memory is a memory unit that performs the read operation only, it does not
have a write capability. This implies that binary information stored in a ROM is made
permanent during the hardware production of the unit and cannot be altered by writing
different words into it. Whereas a RAM is a general-purpose device whose contents can be
altered during the computational process, a ROM is restricted to reading words that are
permanently stored within the unit. The binary information to be stored specified by the
designer, is then embedded in the unit to form the required interconnection pattern.
Do the following
a. Count the occurrences of the word “ROM” in the above document.
