4. ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION:
The trainee will be tested for his skill, knowledge and attitude during the period of course through formative assessment and at the end of the training programme through summative assessment as notified by the DGTfrom time to time.
a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal)during the period of training will be done by Formative Assessment Method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning outcomes.The training institute has to maintain an individual trainee portfolio as detailed in assessment guideline. The marks of internal assessment will be as per the formative assessment template provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in
b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment. The All India Trade Test for awarding NTCwill be conducted by Controller of examinations, DGT as per the guidelines. The pattern and marking structure is being notified by DGT from time to time. The learning outcome and assessment criteria will be the basis for setting question papers for final assessment. The examiner during final examination will also check the individual trainee’s profile as detailed in assessment guideline before giving marks for practical examination.
I. PASS REGULATION :
For the purposes of determining the overall result, weightage of 100% is applied for six months and one year duration courses and 50% weightage is applied to each examination for two years courses. The minimum pass percent for Trade Practical and Formative assessment is 60% & for all other subjects is 33%.
II. ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE :
Appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that there will be no artificial barriers to assessment. The nature of special needs should be taken into account while undertaking the assessment. Due consideration should be given while assessing for teamwork,
avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scrap/waste as per procedure, behavioral attitude, sensitivity to the environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity towards OSHE and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing competency.
Assessment will be avidence based comprising some of the following:- Job carried out in labs/workshop
- Record book/ daily diary
- Answer sheet of assessment
