CHM O Level is NIELIT's foundation-level programme in Computer Hardware Maintenance. It trains learners to understand, assemble, install, maintain and repair computers, laptops, printers and small networks, skills that every office, school, bank and computer shop depends on.
This one-year course prepares you for the NIELIT CHM O Level programme. It starts with basic electronics and digital electronics, then moves to PC architecture, motherboards, processors, memory, storage and power supplies. You assemble and dismantle computers, set up BIOS and UEFI, install Windows and Linux with drivers, service printers and laptops, crimp and test network cables, configure routers and diagnose faults step by step. Most of the time is spent on hands-on practicals in the hardware lab at CADD centres, supported by live online classes for theory and revision.
The course leads to work as a hardware technician, desktop support engineer or networking assistant, or to your own repair and service business. The counsellor will guide you on NIELIT registration and exams.

CHM O Level is NIELIT's foundation-level course in Computer Hardware Maintenance. It covers electronics, PC hardware, assembly, OS installation, printers, laptops, networking and troubleshooting.
Students after Class 10 or 12, ITI and diploma students and working technicians can join, subject to current NIELIT eligibility rules. Interest in electronics and tools is more important than earlier knowledge.
The CHM O Level course runs for one year, with most of the time spent on hardware practicals. The counsellor will share the schedule.
Theory and revision can be done in live online classes, but hardware practicals such as assembly, repair and cabling need attendance at the CADD centre lab, so a mix of both works best.
You receive a CADD Training Centre course certificate that can be verified online. The NIELIT CHM O Level certificate is issued by NIELIT after you pass its exams.
