Introduction
• Assessment is one of the most important activities of the skills value chain.
• National Skills Policy of 2009, specifies ‘Quality Assured Assessment of
Learners’ to ensure that assessment is based on national standards
(competencies) and uses valid and reliable assessment methods.
• DDU-GKY mandates Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) to follow
Assessment and certification of National Council for Vocational Training
(NCVT)/ Sector Skill Councils or that of any agency notified by the Ministry of
Rural Development.*

National Skill Qualification Framework
(NSQF)
• The National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) is a competency-based,
quality assurance framework that organizes all qualifications according to a
series of levels of knowledge, skills and aptitude.
• The NSQF is anchored at the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) and
is being implemented through the National Skills Qualifications Committee
(NSQC) which comprises of all key stakeholders.
• The NSQC's functions amongst others include approving NOSs/QPs, approving
accreditation norms, prescribing guidelines to address the needs of
disadvantages sections, reviewing inter-agency disputes and alignment of NSQF
with international qualification frameworks.
• All other frameworks, including the NVEQF (National Vocational Educational
Qualification Framework) released by the Ministry of HRD, stand superseded by
the NSQF.

NSQF-The Levels*
• The framework is composed of 10 levels
• These levels, graded from one to ten, are defined in terms of learning outcomes which the learner
must possess regardless of whether they are obtained through formal, non-formal or informal
learning.
• Each represents a different level of complexity, knowledge and autonomy to demonstrate
competence commensurate with that level
• Level 1 Complexity increases Level 2, 3….10
• Levels are not directly related to the number of years of education or training
• They are based upon professional knowledge & skill, core skill and responsibility
• Level is defined in relation to curriculum, notional contact hours, subject, workload, trainer quality and
type of training institution
• Defined by a set of descriptors expressed as learning outcomes
*(Gazette_EO_NSQF.pdf)
• Under NSQF, the learner can acquire the certification for competency needed at any level
through formal, non-formal or informal learning.
