Assessment Guidelines and Assessment Weightage

Assessment Guidelines

1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council. EachPerformance Criteria (PC) will be assigned marks proportional to its importance in NOS. SSC will alsolay down the proportion of marks for Theory and Skills Practical for each PC.

2. The assessment for the theory part will be based on the knowledge bank of questions created bythe SSC.

3. Assessment will be conducted for all compulsory NOS, and where applicable, on the selectedelective/option NOS/set of NOS.

4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for the theory part for eachcandidate at each examination/training center (as per assessment criteria below).

5. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for every studentat each examination/ training center based on these criteria.

6. To pass the Qualification Pack assessment, every trainee should score a minimum of 70% of %aggregate marks to successfully clear the assessment.

7. In case of unsuccessful completion, the trainee may seek reassessment on the Qualification Pack.
