The qualification, Diploma in Plastics Mold Technology (DPMT) is there from

1979 and CIPET has trained more than 10,500 trainees in the last 10 years. All
trainees are placed in Industries through campus placement.

What is the estimated uptake of this qualification and what is the basis of this estimate?
Skills Gap analysis Reports for industry demand and secondary research data, though these do not
lend to accurate demand projection. The link to NSDC Human Resource & Skills Requirement in
Capital Goods Sector is http://cgsc.in/Humanresource_skill_requirement.pdf
What steps were taken to ensure that the qualification(s) does (do) not duplicate
already existing or planned qualifications in the NSQF?
 The qualification is originally designed by curriculum committee comprising the
training head, industrial expert, academic professional experts.
 The work group under the guidance of curriculum development committee already
conducted desk search as well as refers the qualification packs for as a supporting
document for the mapping of curriculum.
 As per the search it is found that, the Diploma in Plastics Mold Technology for the skill
development of the candidates in Capital Goods Sector Skill Council.
The qualification, Diploma in Plastics Mold Technology (DPMT ) is in existence since 2008 and
CIPET has trained more than 10500 trainees in the last 10 years . 80% of the trainees are placed
in Industries through campus placement.

What arrangements are in place to monitor and review the qualification(s)? What data
will be used and at what point will the qualification(s) be revised or updated?
 The curriculum committee meeting for review will be in the month of Jan 2018 which
comprising industrial expert, university professors with subject specialization.
 The data used for revision or update will be impact analysis (student and industries) and new
subject area opportunities, multiple entry and exits incorporated or RPL strategy
implementations.
 The curriculum review and updates, in consultation with industries and expert of respective
domain, NOS approved by NSDA will also be referred to from time to time.

SECTION 4
EVIDENCE OF PROGRESSION

What steps have been taken in the design of this or other qualifications to ensure that
there is a clear path to other qualifications in this sector?

Excellent job opportunities in manufacturing industries, especially outside India in Countries like
Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, US, etc. A qualified tool and die maker can
easily get an immediate job after his Diploma in India or Abroad. Once a tool and die maker gains
good experience, he can increase his rank and get into senior positions like inspector, supervisor,
technical advisor, designer, programmer.

Qualifying trainee will obtain a CIPET Diploma in Plastics Mold Technology (DPMT). After
completion of course and after 3 years of field experience the trainee can work as a Senior Mold
maker or supervisor and after that 5 years of experience, the person can work as a Manager
(Tool room). Also he/she can become an entrepreneur in this sector.
