Assessment Guidelines and Assessment Weightage
Assessment Guidelines
1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council. Each
Element/ 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 Element/ PC.
2. The assessment for the theory part will be based on knowledge bank of questions created by the SSC.
3. Assessment will be conducted for all compulsory NOS, and where applicable, on the selected
elective/option NOS/set of NOS.
4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for theory part for each candidate at
each examination/training center (as per assessment criteria below).
5. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for every student at
each examination/ training center based on these criteria.
6. To pass the Qualification Pack assessment, every trainee should score the Recommended Pass %
aggregate for the QP.
7. In case of unsuccessful completion, the trainee may seek reassessment on the Qualification Pack.
Minimum Aggregate Passing % at QP Level : 75
(Please note: Every Trainee should score a minimum aggregate passing percentage as specified above, to
