EVIDENCE OF NEED

What evidence is there that the qualification is needed?

What is the estimated uptake of this qualification and what is the basis of this estimate?

The Indian machine tools sector offers several opportunities for investment. Given the current gap between
demand and supply, there is a clear need for adding capacities in this sector. The industry is moving towards
increasingly sophisticated CNC machines, driven by demand from key user segments, such as, automobiles
and consumer durables, Aerospace etc. Machine tool manufacturers need to develop capabilities to cater to
this demand and investments in this area could yield long term benefits. Industries are more focused on
meeting the market demands focusing on manufacturing in their plants. However, this boom will generate
new business where technological skill man power is required.

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

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?

Qualifying trainee will receive a Certificate in ‘Certificate Course in CNC Turning & Milling’. After
completion of course and after 3 years of field experience the trainee can work as a CNC Machine
programmer in CNC machine shop and after 5 years of experience, the person can work as a supervisor in
CNC machine shop. Also he/she can become an entrepreneur in this sector.
