1. COURSE INFORMATION

During the one-year duration of “Welder (Pipe)” trade, a candidate is trained on

Professional Skill, Professional Knowledge, Engineering Drawing, Workshop Calculation &
Science and Employability Skill related to job role. In addition to this, a candidate is
entrusted to undertake project work, extracurricular activities and on-the-job training to
build up confidence. The broad components covered under Professional Skill subject are as
below:-

In the one-year duration, trainee learns about elementary first aid, firefighting,
environment regulation and housekeeping etc. The practical part starts with basic pipe work
viz. cutting of pipes, threading, joining, etc. Cutting Pipes in different angles, joining of pipes
of different diameter and angles by gas welding, thread cutting on different types of pipes &
fittings accessories. On completion of each job the trainees will also evaluate their jobs by
visual inspection, and identify the defects for further correction/improvement. They learn to
adapt precautionary measures such as preheating; maintaining inter-pass temperature and
post weld heat treatment for Welding Alloy steel, Cast Iron etc. The Work Shop calculation
taught will help them to plan and cut the required jobs economically without wasting the
material and also used in estimating the Electrodes, filler metals etc. The Workshop Science
taught will help them to understand the materials and properties, effect of alloying
elements etc. Engineering Drawing taught will be applied while reading the job drawings
and will be useful in understanding the location, type and size of weld to be carried out.

Professional Knowledge subject is simultaneously taught in the same fashion to

apply cognitive knowledge while executing task. In addition, components like Physical
properties of engineering materials, different types of iron, properties and uses,
introduction to GTAW & GMAW, Heat & Temperature are also covered under theory part.In
addition to above components the core skills components viz., Workshop calculation &
science, Engineering drawing, employability skills are also covered. These core skills are
essential skills which are necessary to perform the job in any given situation.

2.4 ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION

The trainee will be tested for his skill, knowledge and attitude during the period of
course through formative assessment and at the end of the training programme through
summative assessment as notified by the DGT from time to time.

a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal) during the period of training will be done by
Formative assessment method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning
outcomes. The training institute have to maintain individual trainee portfolio as detailed in
assessment guideline. The marks of internal assessment will be as per the formative
assessment template provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in

b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment. The All India Trade
Test for awarding NTC will be conducted by Controller of examinations, DGT as per the
guidelines. The pattern and marking structure is being notified by DGT from time to time.
The learning outcome and assessment criteria will be the basis for setting question papers
for final assessment. The examiner during final examination will also check the individual
trainee’s profile as detailed in assessment guideline before giving marks for practical
examination.

2.4.1 PASS REGULATION

For the purposes of determining the overall result, weightage of 100% is applied for
six months and one-year duration courses and 50% weightage is applied to each
examination for two years courses. The minimum pass percent for Trade Practical and
Formative assessment is 60% & for all other subjects is 33%. There will be no Grace marks.

2.4.2 ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE

Appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that there will be no artificial

barriers to assessment. The nature of special needs should be taken into account while
undertaking the assessment. Due consideration should be given while assessing for
teamwork, avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scrap/waste as per
procedure, behavioral attitude, sensitivity to the environment and regularity in training. The
sensitivity towards OSHE and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing
competency.

Assessment will be evidence based comprising the following:

 Job carried out in labs/workshop

 Record book/ daily diary
 Answer sheet of assessment
 Viva-voce
 Progress chart
 Attendance and punctuality
 Assignment
 Project work

Evidences and records of internal (Formative) assessments are to be preserved until

forthcoming examination for audit and verification by examining body. The following
marking pattern to be adopted while assessing:
