Sector Skill Council Agriculture Skill Council of India Guidelines for Assessment 1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council. Each Performance Criteria (PC) will be assigned marks proportional to its importance in 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 created by the SSC 3. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for theory part for each candidate at each examination/training center (as per assessment criteria below) 4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for every student at each examination/training center based on this criteria 5. To pass the Qualification Pack, every trainee should score a minimum of 70% in aggregate 6. In case of successfully passing only certain number of NOS's, the trainee is eligible to take subsequent assessment on the balance NOS's to pass the Qualification Pack

1. AGR/Q6614: Carry out execution of watershed treatments

PC1. undertake a reconnaissance survey of

the area planned for treatment to

10 3 7

find out availability of the land and

drains for immediate work

estimate the availability of material

like soil, stones, etc. required for work

on the land to be treated

in case of the need of bringing

material from outside then determine

the location, distance and possible

expenses to transport the same

watershed committee to discuss the

following:
