Assessment Guidelines
1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council. Each
Performance Criteria (PC)/element 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/element.
2. The assessment for the knowledge part will be based on knowledge bank of questions created by
Assessment Bodies subject to approval by SSC
3. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for knowledge/theory part for
assessment of candidates as per assessment criteria given below
4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for every student at
each examination/training center based on assessment criteria.
5. The passing percentage for each QP will be 70%. To pass the Qualification Pack, every trainee should
score a minimum of 70% individually in each NOS.
6. The Assessor shall check the final outcome of the practices while evaluating the steps performed to
achieve the final outcome.
8. After the certain number of iteration as decided by SSC the trainee is marked as fail, scoring zero marks
for the procedure for the practical activity.
9. In case of successfully passing only certain number of NOS's, the trainee is eligible to take subsequent
assessment on the balance NOS's to pass the Qualification Pack within the specified timeframe set by SSC.
(Please note: Every Trainee should score a minimum aggregate passing percentage as specified above, to
