Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational PDFM (RMPDFM) study plan
Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational PDFM (RMPDFM) · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Re-derive the key applied-science relationships used in the trade (unit conversion, area/volume, force, pressure, speed and feed ratios) and solve 20 numerical problems with at least 90% accuracy
Build a personal glossary of 60 trade terms with one-line definitions and SI units where applicable
List five open questions from your notes and flag them for resolution in week 2
Your checkpoint
A handwritten or typed 6-page trade fundamentals summary containing the process flow diagrams, the 20 solved numericals, and the 60-term glossary
Trade Theory and Fundamentals of the Vocational Trade (PDFM/RMPDFM) & Materials, Tools, Equipment and Safety Practices
Explain the working principle, main parts, and typical applications of each major machine or tool group in the trade, one paragraph each
Match 30 common tools and equipment to their correct use, and identify five common misuse cases and their consequences
Classify trade materials by composition, properties, and typical application, producing a comparison table of at least 12 materials
Draft a tool-room inventory checklist covering hand tools, measuring instruments, and consumables with expected condition standards
State the correct procedure for pre-use inspection of at least eight tools or equipment items
Your checkpoint
A 10-row material comparison table plus a one-page pre-use inspection checklist covering eight tools, self-checked against your week 1 glossary
Trade Practical Skills and Workshop/Lab Procedures & Materials, Tools, Equipment and Safety Practices
Sequence the steps of the four most common practical jobs in the trade and write each as a numbered work procedure with hold points
Identify the safety hazards in each of those four procedures and state the control measure for each hazard
Demonstrate correct donning, use, and removal of PPE for at least three job scenarios and record the sequence
Describe first-response actions for five trade-specific accident types (cuts, burns, electric shock, chemical contact, fire)
List the housekeeping and waste-segregation steps required at the end of a shift
Your checkpoint
Four written job procedure sheets, each with a hazard-control column and an end-of-shift housekeeping section, reviewed for completeness
Measurement, Inspection, Quality Control and Standards & Engineering Drawing, Schematics and Technical Documentation
Select the correct measuring instrument for 15 given measurement tasks and justify each choice by least count and range
Read and record measurements from instrument descriptions (vernier, micrometer, dial gauge, steel rule) with 10 practice readings each and zero reading errors
Interpret a dimensioned drawing by extracting all dimensions, tolerances, and surface-finish callouts into a flat list
Produce a neat freehand or instrument-drawn sketch of one trade component with correct dimensioning, title block, and projection
Explain the purpose of tolerance, allowance, and fit, and classify five given fits as clearance, interference, or transition
Your checkpoint
A measurement log of 40 practice readings with instrument justification, plus one fully dimensioned component drawing with title block
Measurement, Inspection, Quality Control and Standards & Engineering Drawing, Schematics and Technical Documentation
Apply a sampling inspection routine to a batch of 50 practice parts and record accept/reject decisions against stated limits
Calculate basic quality metrics (defect rate, percentage rejected, simple control-chart limits) from your inspection data
Read and explain the symbols and callouts on two schematic or layout drawings relevant to the trade
Write a short inspection report that states method, instrument, standard referenced, results, and conclusion
Identify which national or international standard applies to three given product characteristics and state why
Your checkpoint
A completed inspection report on 50 practice parts including the defect-rate calculation and a labelled sketch of one nonconforming feature
Trade Practical Skills and Workshop/Lab Procedures & Applied Science and Mathematics relevant to the Trade
Complete two integrated practice jobs end to end, timing each stage and noting where your procedure deviated from the written sheet
Recalculate the process parameters (speed, feed, depth, mixture ratio, or load as applicable) for those jobs from first principles and compare with your actual values
Solve 25 applied mathematics problems drawn from trade situations, showing every step
Diagnose three common faults in the trade, stating symptom, probable cause, check, and remedy
Update your week 3 procedure sheets with corrections found during practice
Your checkpoint
Two completed practice jobs with a stage-timing sheet, a parameter calculation sheet, and revised procedure documents
Entrepreneurship, Employability Skills and Communication & Computer/IT Applications and Digital Skills in the Trade & Environmental Awareness, Occupational Health and Workplace Ethics
Draft a one-page business concept for a small enterprise in this trade covering service offered, customer, pricing basis, and startup needs
Prepare a simple cost sheet for one job, separating material, labour, overhead, and margin, and compute break-even output
Produce a typed technical document (report or quotation) using a word processor with a table, headings, and correct file naming
Build a spreadsheet that records inspection or job data and returns summary statistics using formulas
Write a workplace-conduct and environmental-responsibility checklist of 12 items covering waste, energy, emissions, and ethics
Your checkpoint
A digital portfolio folder containing the business concept, cost sheet with break-even figure, one formatted document, and one working spreadsheet
Trade Theory and Fundamentals of the Vocational Trade (PDFM/RMPDFM) & Trade Practical Skills and Workshop/Lab Procedures & Measurement, Inspection, Quality Control and Standards
Consolidate all prior deliverables into an indexed revision file organized by the nine exam domains
Answer 100 mixed practice questions across the heaviest domains under timed conditions and log every wrong answer with the correct reasoning
Re-teach the five weakest topics aloud or in writing from memory, then verify against your notes
Re-perform one measurement and one inspection task cold, without notes, to confirm retention
Finalize a one-page exam-day strategy covering time allocation per domain and question-attempt order
Your checkpoint
An indexed revision file plus a 100-question error log showing at least 85% final accuracy on re-attempted items
