Introduction

The National Vocational Education Qualification Framework (NVEQF) developed by the Ministry of Human Resource

Development (MHRD), Government of India is a descriptive framework that provides a common reference for linking various

qualifications. It is used for setting common principles and guidelines for a nationally recognized qualification system

covering Schools, Vocational Education and Training Institutions, Technical Education Institutions, and

Universities/Colleges.

The NVEQF organizes qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge and skills. These levels are defined in

terms of learning outcomes i.e., the competencies (knowledge, skills and attitude) which the learners must possess

regardless of whether they were acquired through formal, non-formal or informal education and training system.

Qualifications are made up of occupational standards for specific areas of learning units or unit of competency. Units of

competency are the specification of knowledge and skill and the application of that knowledge and skill to the standard of

performance expected in the workplace. The Unit of competency or National Occupation Standards comprising generic and

technical competencies an employee should possess are laid down by the Sector Skill Council of the respective economic or

social sector.

Competency is defined in terms of what a person is required to do (performance), under what conditions it is done

(conditions) and how well it is to be done (standards). It can be broadly categorized into foundational, practical and

reflexive competencies. Generic competencies are considered essential for a person to participate effectively in the

workforce, whereas technical competencies are an individual's knowledge and expertise in the specific group task and its

procedures and rules and regulations. An executive order F.No.1-4/2011-VE dated 3 Sept., 2012 on the various aspects of

NVEQF has been issued by the MHRD. For more details on the NVEQF, please visit the website of MHRD at www:

mhrd.gov.in.



The term “curriculum” (plural: curricula or curriculums) is derived from the Latin word for “race course”, referring to the

course of deeds and experiences through which children grow to become mature adults. A competency based curriculum

describes what learners must “know” and “be able to do” by the end of a program or study. It identifies the competencies

and sub-competencies each learner is expected to master. It states clearly the criteria and conditions by which

performance will be assessed. It also defines the learning activities that will lead to the learner to mastery of the targeted

learning outcome.

The competency based curriculum is broken down into coherent parts known as Units. Each unit is further broken down

into knowledge and skills on the basis of which evidence is to be provided by the learner and the evaluation is to be done

by the teacher or trainer.



About the Sector

Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology-enabled Services (ITeS) are one of the most significant growth

stimulator of the Indian economy. IT industry has not only influenced the employment prospects of the people but also

affected the social lives of the people by connecting them through networking and social websites. The major segments of

the Industry are IT Services, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), engineering services, research and development and

products. IT Products being manufactured in India include personal computers, servers, workstations, supercomputers,

data processing equipment, printers, digitizers, networking products, etc. Much of the IT related activities are centred on

services in Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), Telecommunication, Manufacturing, and Retail.

Indian IT Industry has been contributing substantially to India's Gross Domestic Products (GDP), exports and employment.

The sector is responsible for enabling employment to an additional 8.9 million people in various associated sectors, such as

security, transportation, housekeeping, catering etc., many of whom belong to rural areas/small towns in India. It has

grown tremendously over the last 15 years. The industry had about 1,50,000 employees in 1993, and around 5,00,000

employees in 1999 but today, the industry employs around 2.2 million people.

Internet has made revolutionary changes with possibilities of booking tickets online, filing Income Tax returns, applying for

passports online, online banking and transactions, etc. With an internet user-base of over 125 million, which is likely to

grow to about half-a-billion over the next few years, and also an established base of 950 million mobile users, India will be

a key player in the cyber-world. It is expected that with the launch of the ultra low-cost Aakaash tablets exclusively for

students, use of information technology will increase.

Total 115

Successful completion of 115 hours of theory sessions and 85 hrs of practical activities and on-the-job learning is to be done for full qualification.



Classroom Activities: Classroom activities are an integral part of this programme and interactive lecture sessions, followed by discussions should be conducted by trained teachers. Teachers should make effective use of a variety of instructional aids, such as Videos, Colour Slides, Charts, Diagrams, Models, Exhibits, Handouts, Recorded Compact Discs, etc. to transmit knowledge in projective and interactive mode. Practical Activities: Activities that provide practical experience through case based problems, role play, games, etc.

and practical exercises using props, tools and equipment should be regularly organized off-the-job and on-the-job.

Equipment and supplies should be provided to enhance hands-on experiences to students in the chosen occupation.

Trained personnel should teach specialized techniques such as dismantling and assembling of computer parts, servicing

of computers, operating softwares, programming, etc.

On-the-Job Training: On-the-job training (OJT) occurs whenever more experienced employee or supervisor teaches

less experienced person on how to do one or more tasks of a job. The training utilizes actual equipment and materials.

OJT should be undertaken in a structured manner with a training plan under the supervision of an experienced trainer

or supervisor. A training plan that reflects tasks to be performed and competencies to be imparted should be

prepared and signed by the student, teacher, and supervisor at the workplace for training of the students in the

organization/industry. The trainer should break down all the steps of the job and train the students as per the training

plan. In a structured OJT, the following steps should be followed:

Step 1: The Instructor or the trainer tell, show, demonstrate, and explain. The trainer gives an overview of the task

while explaining the constructional details and use of the tools, equipment, materials, etc. in performing

the tasks.

Step 2: The Instructor or the trainer demonstrates each step in detail, actually doing the steps of the task and

explaining each step, one at a time, while the trainee watches. The steps may not necessarily be

demonstrated in the sequence of actual operation, as sometimes it is better that simple tasks are



demonstrated first to build confidence. Showing finished products at each appropriate step will help the

leaner understand what is required as outcome. While demonstrating, the trainer explains why each step is

done in the way it is done.

Step 3: It involves direct trainee participation. The trainer monitors the progress on a checklist of competencies

and offers feedback and pointers where and when needed.

Step 4: The trainee practices with clearly defined targets for performance standards.

Certification: Upon successful completion of this course, the State Education Board and the IT-ITeS Sector Skill

Council will provide a certificate to the student verifying the competencies acquired by the student. For more details

Assessment Guide

Assessment is a procedure used for determining an individual's progress or level of mastery/competence in an occupational

area. It may be formative (continuous) and/or summative (final). It is a procedure of collecting evidence and making

judgement about the extent to which a person demonstrates the knowledge and skills set out in the standards or learning

outcomes of a unit of competency. Assessment should be done on the basis of information or evidence about the

individual‟s ability against clearly stated objectives or standards. A diversity of assessment methods is required to achieve

the multiple purposes and to satisfy the requirements of competency based assessment. Appropriate evidence is to be

collected from activities that can be clearly related to the Units of Competency. It should cover all the elements and

performance criteria/indicators in the competency standards. Student‟s achievements should be assessed by using the following methods of assessment.

1. Written test: It allows candidates to demonstrate that they have the knowledge and understanding of a given topic.

2. Practical test: It allows candidates to demonstrate application of skills in simulated or real work conditions against

competency standards (skill and academic standards).

3. Oral test/viva voce: It allows candidates to demonstrate communication skills and content knowledge. Audio or video

recording can be done at the time of oral test or viva voce.

4. Portfolio: It is a compilation of documents that supports the candidate‟s claim of competence that was acquired from prior learning and experience. Documents (including photo‟s, newspaper articles, reports, etc.) of practical experience

in the workplace or the community and photographs of the products prepared by the candidates related to the units of

competency should be included in the portfolio.

5. Project: Projects (individual or group projects) are a great way to assess the practice skills on a deadline, but these

should be given on the basis of the capability of the individual to perform the tasks or activities involved in the project.

Projects should be discussed in the class and the teacher should periodically monitor the progress of the project and

provide feedback for improvement and innovation.
