Interviewer instructions

The class or the grade or the year, the member of the household, currently attending should be recorded
here. For a student studying in any class upto class X the entry should correspond to that class (to be
recorded in numeric). For example, for a student studying in class VI the entry will be 6. For further higher
level of study the no. of years of study after class 10 should be added to 10 without taking the repetition, if
any. For example a student in 2nd year of higher secondary course should get 10+2=12 irrespective of the
name by which the higher secondary course is known in the state. Again, a first year degree student will get
10+3=13. and one doing, say, M.A. second year will get 12+3+2=17. The no. of years in graduation level for
Engineering, Medical, etc. are more than 3 years. This fact should be appropriately kept in view while making
entries for such courses. For some courses like Chartered Accountancy etc. one may take more number of
years to complete than the minimum prescribed. In such cases, number of years to be counted as per the
minimum duration prescribed. To summarise, the working rule for entry for this item is

entry = class when class <=10
= 10 + (no. of completed academic years after 10) +1,

Illustrative example:
A household member in the age-group 5-29 is simultaneously doing two courses, namely, M.Com (2nd year)
and a graduation level computer course.(1st year).
Here, M.Com is his/her 'basic course' i.e. course 1.
Now, for course 1, Entry in item 9 = 10+(2+3+1)+1 = 17
And for course 2, Entry = 10+(2)+1 = 13
( . ) implies completed academic years
