SECTION 1

ASSESSMENT

21 Body/Bodies which will carry out assessment:


22 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 in relevant field can appear for NCVT theory and practical semester

examination directly.

2. The students who have passed SCVT examination in ‘Weaving Technician’ 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.

23 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.

Examinations are conducted in practical and Theory viz. Trade theory, Workshop

Calculation & Science, 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:

f) Internal assessment 100

TOTAL: 700

(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.

The manuscripts of the moderated question papers are sent to Government Printing

Presses for printing.

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


8

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, 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).
