19 Assessment Strategy (Basic training) 1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council (SSC). Each

Performance Criteria (PC) will be assigned marks proportional to its importance in National Occupational Standards (NOS). SSC will also lay down proportion of marks for Theory and Skills Practical for each PC.

2. The assessment for the theory part will be based on knowledge bank of questions approved by the SSC. 3. Assessment will be conducted for all compulsory NOSes, and where applicable, on the selected

elective/optional NOS/set of NOS. 4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for the theory part for the respective

candidates of the allocated examination/training center (as per assessment criteria given in this document

5. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for the respective candidates of the allocated examination/training center based on this criteria

6. To pass the Qualification Pack, every candidate should score a minimum of 70% aggregate in the QP. 7. In case of unsuccessful completion, the candidate may seek re-assessment on the QP.

(OJT Assessment) For OJT assessment the Industry nominated assessor will be assessing the candidates based on the OJT monitoring report submitted by Industry supervisor and Viva by the Industry nominated assessor.

1.1 Industry Nominated Assessor: The assessors are engaged to conduct the assessments by Industry. The selection procedure of assessor is as follows:

Industry defines the criteria for profile of an assessor.

Assessor is an individual who fulfils the eligibility criteria of the job role with minimum 4 years of work experience in the respective industry.

Once selected, the assessor is oriented by Industry using AMHSSC guidelines on various aspects of the assessment and management of assessment, such as QP, and its background.

Once selected, the Assessor is trained on: o Assessment Methodology o Use Assessment Tools o Scoring system (as per the attached assessment guide) o Maintain integrity at the assessment site. o Crisis handling and support system available for the same. o Scope of his authorities o Administrative responsibilities o Required documentation of Trainee credentials, mark sheet management

o Confidentiality management

1.2 Assessment Tool for OJT: 1.2.1 OJT Monitoring Report

As in Apparel, Made-ups & Home Furnishing Sector, reproducing the evidence for assessment is not feasible due to constraints like cost, confidentiality and controlled environment. Therefore, it is mandatory for every apprentice to record the evidences of the task performed during the OJT and the same should be approved and signed/ authorized by his/her supervisor.

The evidence recording is done in a structured monitoring report, termed as OJT monitoring report.

During the OJT, every trainee is required to fill the OJT monitoring report which is required to be signed by his/her supervisor.

Towards the end of OJT period these reports are submitted to the respective company’s HR department.

These duly submitted reports are then verified by an Industry nominated assessor for verification of evidence.

1.2.2 Theory, Practical & Viva: Scope: To test the knowledge, understanding and skills acquired during the OJT as well as to conform the OJT monitoring report. Some personality traits and generic skills required for Qualification Pack(QP) (such as – promptness, sharpness, communication skills, depth of knowledge, comprehension, presentation, patience etc.) can also be tested. Tools: The assessment’s questions will be based on all the PCs of the respective QP. There will also be a summative assessment at the end of the OJT. Method: Direct questions, open and close ended questions, situation-based questions, analytical questions,

and decision making based questions for Viva. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) types question will be set for the theory and Performing QP related operations for practical. Different questions are included in theory, practical and viva to test relevant PCs from the QP Analysis: Assessor draws a spectrum of ready answers to be expected from trainee for Viva. This reduces effect of subjectivity of the assessor. Comparative quality of trainees with in a batch or different institutes can be gauged. The skill is gauged by observing the practical work.

1.3 Execution of OJT Assessment: At the end of the OJT period, the HR department hands over the individual OJT monitoring report to the

Industry nominated assessor and schedules an assessment meeting for each trainee.

Industry nominated assessor assesses each trainee based on; OJT monitoring report, viva on each PC, and attendance of each trainee.

After the assessment, Industry nominated assessor compiles the OJT marks for each NOS and submits it to the HR department of the company. In the case of offline assessment, the HR department of the company send the OJT assessment results to AMHSSC in a sealed envelope for compilation of the assessment results.
