SECTION 1

ASSESSMENT

Body/Bodies which will carry out assessment:


How will RPL assessment be managed and who will carry it out?

1. At present the students who have passed 10th class with minimum 3 years’ experience can

appear for NCVT theory and practical semester examination directly.

2. The students who have passed SCVT examination in ‘COPA’ trade can also appear for the

NCVT Examination in the relevant semester and Trade directly. NCVT will carry out the assessment

and State Directorates advertise in newspapers for informing the prospective candidates.

Describe the overall assessment strategy and specific arrangements which have been put in

place to ensure that assessment is always valid, reliable and fair and show that these are in

line with the requirements of the NSQF.

(1) Assessment process:

The assessment for the semester-based qualification is carried out by conducting formative

assessments, and end-of-semester examinations. The internal assessments for theory subjects and

practical are conducted by the concerned instructors for evaluating the knowledge and skill acquired

by trainees and the behavioural transformation of the trainees. This internal assessment is primarily

carried out by collecting evidence of competence gained by the trainees by evaluating them at work

based on assessment criteria, asking questions and initiating formative discussions to assess

understanding and by evaluating records and reports, and sessional marks are awarded to them.

Theory and practical examinations are conducted in Trade theory and Employability Skills. The

question papers for the theory Examinations contain objective type questions. Trade practical

examinations are conducted by the respective State Governments. However, the question papers for

the Trade practical are prepared by NCVT.

The marking pattern and distribution of marks for the qualification are as under:

MARKING PATTERN S. No. Subject for the trade test Maximum marks for the each subject 1 Trade Practical 100

2 Trade Theory 80

Objective type Written Test of 80 marks (Trade Theory 30 Marks & Employability Skills 50 marks)

3 Employability Skills

4 Internal Assessment 20

TOTAL: 200

(2) Minimum pass marks:

40% for each Theory Examination and 25% for each part/section of the Examination separately, and

60% marks for each Trade practical Examination.

(3) Testing and certifications for the course:

OMR sheet based question paper.

A panel of expert paper setters, who are graduates in the concerned field with minimum 5-7 years

experience, is prepared for setting question papers for the Trade. The panel is vetted by the

Member Secretary, NCVT.

Paper setters are appointed from the panel after the approval of the competent authority for

setting the question paper.

The question papers are then moderated by the Board of Moderation to see if the paper is set as

per the requirement and syllabus.

Printed question papers, packed in sealed covers, are despatched to Banks/Police Stations for

keeping in safe custody.

The question papers are handed over to the Chairman/Principal of the Testing Centre two hours

before the commencement of the Examination.

An Examination Board consisting of representatives of industry/Employer/State Government are

set up to supervise and monitor the conduct of Examinations at every Centre.

Theory and practical Examinations are carried out with invigilators/examiners with the overall

supervision of the Examination Board.

Examiners called for evaluation of practical should have minimum technical qualification of a

Diploma in the respective engineering field. However, when diploma holders not available, the

qualification is suitably relaxed.

Examiners for practical Examinations are appointed preferably from Polytechnics/Engineering

colleges/Industry of repute. Government Departments or from amongst retired qualified personnel

possessing requisite qualifications and sufficient experience in the trade/discipline.

Each State Directorate prepares a panel of Examiners according to the norms as mentioned

above and the Examiners are appointed from the panel.

Flying squads from State Governments as well as the Central Government are constituted to

check malpractices during the conduct of Examinations.

OMR based answer sheets are evaluated by the third party evaluator only. Third party evaluator

is selected for three years by open bidding process.

Evaluation of every practical examination is carried out by the concerned examiner (from industry/

polytechnics) with the overall supervision of the Examination Board in a free and fair manner as

per the assessment criteria.

Till 2014, the marks were compiled by the State Governments as per NCVT guidelines and the

results were declared by the State Governments. At present, the marks are compiled by NCVT on

its portal www.ncvtmis.gov.in and the results are declared by the State Governments.

The successful trainees are awarded National Trade Certificates.

Overall assessment strategy:

Assessment of the qualification evaluates trainees to show that they can integrate knowledge, skills

and values for carrying out relevant tasks as per the defined assessable outcomes and assessment

criteria. The trainees may choose the preferred language for assessment. The underlying principle of

assessment is fairness and transparency. While assessing the trainee, assessor is directed to assess

as per the defined assessment criteria against the assessable outcomes. The evidence of the

competence acquired by the trainees can be obtained by conducting theory and practical

examinations, observing the trainees at work, asking questions and initiating formative discussions to

assess understanding and evaluating records and reports. The ultimate objective of the assessment

is to assess the candidates as per the defined assessment criteria for the assessable/ learning

outcomes.

Specific Arrangements for assessment:

• Assessment is outcome-based.

• There are formative and summative assessments in Theory and Practical.

• Assessment is carried out in Trade theory, Trade Practical, Workshop Calculation and

Science, Engineering Drawing and Employability Skills.

• While Trade Theory and Trade Practical are used for assessing Trade-related jobs, Workshop

Calculation and Science is used to test trainee’s numerical skills, Drawing is used to test the ability of

the trainee to draw and read sketches and Employability skills is used to test the communication,

professional language, leadership, entrepreneurship and team-work abilities of the trainee.

• In addition to demonstration of theory and practical knowledge, trainees get a chance to

present total personality.

Quality assurance activities:

• Question papers are set by external paper setters

• Evaluation of Theory Examinations is done by third-part agency. Third party evaluator is

selected for three years by open bidding process.

• Trade Practical is examined by External Examiner (as explained above).

Please attach any documents giving further information about assessment and/or RPL.
