SECTION 1

ASSESSMENT

Body/Bodies which will carry out assessment:


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 ‘Dental Laboratory

Equipment 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.

Describe the overall assessment strategy and specific arrangements which

have been put in place to ensure that assessment is always valid, reliable and

fairand 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 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:

Marking Pattern

Subject for the trade test Maximum marks for the each subject

a) Practical 100

b) Trade Theory 80

NSQC Approved

c) Employability Skills Objective type Written test of 80 marks

(Trade Theory 30 marks &

Employability Skills 50 marks)

d) Internal assessment 20

TOTAL: 200

(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

19th NSQC 05.02.2018

NSQC Approved

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 evaluatestrainees 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 and Employability

Skills.

• While Trade Theory and Trade Practical are used for assessing Trade-related

jobs, 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).

Please attach any documents giving further information about assessment and/or
