Interviewer instructions
Column (7): general educational level (code): Information regarding the level of general education attained by the members of the household listed will be recorded in this column. For the purpose of making entries in this column, only the course successfully completed will be considered. For instance, for a person who has studied up to say, first year B.A., educational attainment will be considered as "higher secondary" (code 10). For a person who has studied up to 12th standard but has not appeared for the final examination or has failed, educational attainment will be considered under „secondary? (code 08).
A person who can both read and write a simple message with understanding in at least one language is to be considered literate. Those who are not able to do so are to be considered literate and will be assigned code 01. Those who achieve literacy without any schooling will be given code 02. Some persons achieve literacy by attending Non-formal Education Courses (NFEC) or Alternative Innovative Education Programme (AIEP). Such persons will be given code 03. Those who achieve literacy through Adult Education Centres (AEC) or Total Literacy Campaign (TLC) will be given code 04. Those who achieve literacy without any formal schooling and not through NFEC/AIEP/TLC/AEC will be given code 05. Those who are by definition literate through formal schooling but are yet to pass primary standard examination will be assigned code 06. Similarly codes 07, 08, and 10 to 14 will be assigned to those who have passed the appropriate levels. The criteria for deciding primary, middle, secondary, etc. levels will be that followed in the concerned States/Union Territories. Persons who have attained proficiency in Oriental languages (e.g., Sanskrit, Persian, etc.) through formal but not through the general type of education will be classified appropriately at the equivalent level of general education standard. To those who have completed some diploma or certificate course in general, technical education or vocational education which is equivalent to below graduation level, code 12 will be assigned. On the other hand, code 13 will be given to those who have obtained degree or diploma or certificate in general, technical education or vocational education, which is equivalent to graduation level. Similarly, code 14 will be assigned to those who have obtained degree or diploma or certificate in general or technical education, which is equivalent to post-graduation level and above.
