ASSESSMENT

21 Body/Bodies which will carry out assessment:

National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT)
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 can appear for NCVT theory and practical
semester examination directly.
2. The students who have passed SCVT examination in ‘Mechanic
Machine Tool Maintenance’ 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. Theory and practical examinations are conducted in
Trade theory, Workshop Calculation & Science, Engineering Drawing 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:

TOTAL:
(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.

NSQC Approved 9
NSQF QUALIFICATION FILE
(Approved in 20th NSQC dated 9th April 2018)
Mechanic Machine Tool Maintenance
 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.

NSQC Approved 10
 NSQF QUALIFICATION FILE
(Approved in 20th NSQC dated 9th April 2018)
Mechanic Machine Tool Maintenance
• 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 and language skills 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).
