Assessment Strategy
1. Assessment System Overview:
• Batches assigned to the assessment agencies for conducting the assessment on SDMS/SIP
or email
• Assessment agencies send the assessment confirmation to VTP/TC looping SSC
• The assessment agency deploys the ToA certified Assessor for executing the assessment
• SSC monitors the assessment process & records
2. Testing Environment
To ensure a conducive environment for conducting a test, the trainer will:
• Confirm that the centre is available at the same address as mentioned on SDMS or SIP
• Check the duration of the training.
• Check the Assessment Start and End time to be 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. respectively
• Ensure there are 2 Assessors if the batch size is more than 30.
• Check that the allotted time to the candidates to complete Theory & Practical Assessment
is correct.
• Check the mode of assessment—Online (TAB/Computer) or Offline (OMR/PP).
• Confirm the number of TABs on the ground are correct to execute the Assessment
smoothly.
• Check the availability of the Lab Equipment for the particular Job Role.
3. Assessment Quality Assurance levels / Framework:
• Question papers created by the Subject Matter Experts (SME)
• Question papers created by the SME verified by the other subject Matter Experts
• Questions are mapped with NOS and PC
• Question papers are prepared considering that levels 1 to 3 are for the unskilled & semi-
skilled individuals, and levels 4 and above are for the skilled, supervisor & higher
management
• The assessor must be ToA certified and the trainer must be ToT Certified
• The assessment agency must follow the assessment guidelines to conduct the assessment
4. Types of evidence or evidence-gathering protocol:
• Time-stamped & geotagged reporting of the assessor from assessment location
• Centre photographs with signboards and scheme-specific branding
• Biometric or manual attendance sheet (stamped by TP) of the trainees during the training
period
• Time-stamped & geotagged assessment (Theory + Viva + Practical) photographs & videos
5. Method of verification or validation:
To verify the details submitted by the training centre, the assessor will undertake:
• A surprise visit to the assessment location
• A random audit of the batch
• A random audit of any candidate
6. Method for assessment documentation, archiving, and access
To protect the assessment papers and information, the assessor will ensure:
• Hard copies of the documents are stored
• Soft copies of the documents & photographs of the assessment are uploaded/accessed
from Cloud Storage
