One event per pool
Configure the AEC, SEC and VAC pools as separate events, each with its own approved course list, credit weight and seat matrix.
Ability, Skill & Value-Added
AEC, SEC and VAC allotment from university-approved course pools
NEP requires students to take Ability Enhancement, Skill Enhancement and Value-Added Courses from pools approved by the university. Each pool has finite seats and a queue of students. Allotix runs all three as controlled allocation events on the same engine that handles your MDC.
Three more pools, three more spreadsheets.
AEC, SEC and VAC are usually treated as an afterthought next to MDC — which means they get the least process and the most chaos. Coordinators end up running three parallel manual allotments a semester.
- Three separate pools, each with its own form and spreadsheet
- Practicum-bearing SEC courses have hard lab-capacity limits
- Mandatory VACs still need seat and section balancing
- No single view of which students are still missing a basket
- Reconciling all three against the student's Major by hand
How it works
How Allotix runs aec / sec / vac allotment
Respect practicum and lab capacity
SEC courses that carry a practicum component are capacity-bound by lab seats, not lecture seats. Set the real limit and the engine will not exceed it.
Track completion across every basket
See at a glance which students still have an unfilled basket, and send targeted reminders only to them.
What you get
Built for this allocation, not adapted to it
- Separate, parallel events for AEC, SEC and VAC pools
- Lab and practicum capacity limits on SEC courses
- Mandatory-course handling for VACs like Environmental Studies
- Per-student basket completion tracking
- Targeted reminder emails to students with an unfilled basket
- Credits shared with your MDC and elective events
FAQ
AEC / SEC / VAC allotment — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AEC, SEC and VAC?
Under NEP-2020, an Ability Enhancement Course (AEC) typically carries two credits, entirely lecture-based, and focuses on language and communication ability. A Skill Enhancement Course (SEC) typically carries three credits, split as two lecture credits and one practicum credit, and builds a practical skill. A Value-Added Course (VAC) develops broader competencies and often includes mandatory subjects such as Environmental Studies and Human Values and Ethics. All three are selected from pools approved by the university.
Can we run AEC, SEC, VAC and MDC allocation at the same time?
Yes. Each basket is configured as its own event with its own course pool and rules, and they can run in parallel or in sequence. Allocation credits are shared across all of them, so you are not buying a separate product per basket.
How do we handle SEC courses with limited lab seats?
Set the course's capacity to the real practicum limit rather than the lecture-hall limit. The allocation engine treats capacity as a hard constraint and will never over-allot a course, so a lab-bound SEC will fill exactly to its seat count and no further.
