Guidelines for Assessment:
- Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council. Each Performance Criteria (PC) will
be assigned marks proportional to its importance in NOS. SSC will also lay down proportion of marks for Theory and Skills Practical
for each PC - The assessment for the theory part will be based on knowledge bank of questions created by the SSC.
- Assessment will be conducted for all compulsory NOS, as well as the selected elective NOS/set of NOS.
OR - Assessment will be conducted for all compulsory NOS, as well as the selected optional NOS/set of NOS.
- Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for theory part for each candidate at each
examination/training center (as per assessment criteria below) - Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaulations for skill practical for every student at each examination/training
center based on this criteria - To pass the Qualification Pack , every trainee should score a minimum of 70% of aggregate marks to successfully clear the
assessment. - In case of unsuccessful completion, the trainee may seek reassessment on the Qualification Pack
