Candidate Upload

Along with the conventional way of uploading the candidate information on SDMS and updating

the assessment and certification related details (Ex Passing Out Date etc.) , the NSDC partners

are now being given an option on SDMS to route the candidate information to respective Sector

Skill Councils (SSC) for conducting assessment and certification of candidates.

Thus, the Training Partner has two options-

1) Uploading and Updating candidate information of candidates, which have been

assessed internally by partner and certified by them, and not through Sector Skill

Councils

2) Uploading and routing information of candidates, who are supposed to be assessed and

certified by Sector Skill Councils.

Uploading Candidates to be Assessed and Certified by Sector Skill Councils.

Please follow these steps for uploading candidate data to be routed to SSC-

1) Login to SDMS

2) Go to tab “SSC Candidate Upload”

3) Download the latest excel template

4) Fill in the details of all the candidates, along with proper batch details.

5) Upload the file.

Dividing Candidates into Multiple Batches (SDMS Batch Creation Logic)

SDMS would group the candidates into batches as per the “BatchGroupNumber” along with other existing criteria of Assessment Date, Training Centre ID and Job Role Working Scenario-

1) Partner is uploading 100 candidates in a single sheet.

2) All candidates have the same Course, assessment date and all candidates belong to the same training centre (thus having the same Centre ID)

3) Partner wants these candidates to be grouped into 4 different batches.

4) Partner needs to give different BatchGroupNumber to different set of candidates.

16

5) If partner wants to create 4 batches of 25 candidates each, he can put BatchGroupNumber as 1 for first 25 candidates in excel sheet, BatchGroupNumber as 2 for next 25 candidates and so on.

6) SDMS will automatically create different batches based on the BatchGroupNumber. Please note that, the final batch creation logic which will be followed on SDMS is-

a) Training Partner

b) Training Centre ID

c) Course

d) Assessment Date

e) Batch Start Date

f) Batch End Date

g) Batch Group Number This means that, if ‘n’ number of candidates have the same fields mentioned above, they

shall be grouped into one batch in SDMS. If any one of these fields differs, a new batch

shall be created.

*Please note- Only the batches uploaded for QP-NOS Aligned courses shall be routed to

SSC’s.

If the course is not an approved course, SDMS shall not allow the partner to send the

data to SSC.

Partner needs to use the template available in the tab “SSC Candidate Upload” for

uploading candidates (which are routed to SSC’s) and for updating the information of

such candidates.

Uploading Candidates which are not Supposed to be Routed to SSC for Assessment & Certification

Please follow these steps for uploading candidate data which is not supposed to be routed to

SSC-

1) Login to SDMS

2) Go to tab “Candidate Upload”

3) Download the latest excel template

4) Fill in the details of all the candidates, along with proper batch details.

5) Upload the file.
