22 How will RPL assessment be managed and who will carry it out?
ASDC conducts QP-NOS based assessment for each and every candidate
applied for recognition of prior learning (vis. Certifying the un-certified but
skilled workforce who acquired skills through experience of years). Here, the
candidates may undergo short-term training of gaps identified. The
assessment is conducted via ASDC certified assessor.

23 Describe the overall assessment strategy and specific arrangements

which have been put in place to ensure that assessment is always
valid, reliable and fair and show that these are in line with the
requirements of the NSQF.

Quality Assurance - Assessment & Certification

ASDC Certificate is Auto industry’s own certificate and the certificate is

expected to carry an assurance of quality. Therefore, the certified candidate
should be able to demonstrate all round skills as expected by industry
standard ie ASDC NOS/QP.

In order to achieve this objective ASDC needed to have an approach that is

process driven whereby the outcomes meet the quality objectives and also
display consistency.

Certification is the outcome of Assessment Process. The Process in turn is

derived from an overall strategy.

ASDC Assessment Strategy

ASDC Assessment Strategy has two components:

1 Broad Guidelines provided by NSDC QRC (Qualifications Registration

Committee)
2 ASDC’s own sector specific overarching strategy, covering all job
roles.
- Any specific assessment approach relating to a particular job role.

1 Broad Guidelines provided by NSDC QRC (Qualifications Registration

Committee):
a. Assessment to be conducted by SSC as per competency
output defined in the NOS/QP and the assessment criteria
provided in the NOS/QP
b. Assessment to be carried out by a third-party Assessment
Body duly affiliated to the SSC.
c. Practical and face to face Viva evaluations, where applicable,
to be carried out only by the SSC approved assessor deployed
by the Assessing Body deputed by SSC for the given
assessment.
d. Cut off marks for certification could be in the vicinity of 70%
level but individual SSC to refine &modify this criterion to suit
the sectorial needs.
e. Assessing Body to declare results with due concurrence of the

NSQC APPROVED 9
NSQF QUALIFICATION FILE
Approved in 11th NCVET-NSQC dated: 31st August, 2021

SSC.

2 ASDC’s own sector specific strategy covering all job roles:

2.1 ASDC assessments will be comprehensive and cover all
aspects of acquired knowledge, practical skills and also basic
ability to communicate. Accordingly, evaluation process would
include:
i. Theory/Knowledge test
ii. Practical demonstration test
iii. Face to Face Viva
2.2 Theory/Knowledge assessment will be carried out on line
through a link provided for each assessment that generates a
random paper from a bank of questions available at the back
end.
- Exception to an online test in favour of Paper Test would
be subject to non-availability of requisite broad band
and/or hardware.
- On line test would be conducted in the presence of an
ASDC assessor till web enabled proctoring is deployed.
2.3 ASDC assessor would be conducting Practical and Viva as per
the criteria provided in the NOS/QP.
2.4 ASDC assessor would be carrying out Practical assessment for
job roles such as in sales by way of role-playing method.
2.5 ASDC cut offs for accepting a candidate for certification:
Automotive industry has already attained a level of globalization
and is on the way to becoming even more integrated into the
global supply chains with a big focus by OEMs on sourcing from
India. This translates to expectation of high-quality skills. In fact,
the global integration process would start putting demands on
skill quality standards to be in line with transnational standards.
2.6 Also, there is an ever-increasing quality demands placed by
domestic customers.
2.7 Further, the structuring of our industry is such that the different
organizations spread across the OEM,
Tier1,
2 manufacturing spectrums are expected to follow common
quality standards. Similarly, OEMs and their Dealerships and
Service Workshops also require to follow common quality
standards. This implies that employees need to follow technical
discipline, team work and quality processes.
2.8 ASDC aims to build a quality brand for its certification that
clearly meets our industry’s expectations.
NSQC APPROVED 9
NSQF QUALIFICATION FILE
Approved in 11th NCVET-NSQC dated: 31st August, 2021

2.9 The other important consideration is the Level notification by

NSQF (National Skills Qualifications Framework) which
provides a structure of skills ladder to be followed in the
country. This ladder describes the entire skills space to be
covered in 10 levels from Level 1 (for mostly menial jobs) and
upto Level 10(for mostly strategy level jobs)
2.10 Keeping above points in mind ASDC evolved an acceptance
criterion as follows:
- Broadly, overall cut offs to be :
Level 1 60%
Level 2 65%
Level 3 70%
Level 4-10 75%
- Specific Theory/Practical/Viva cut offs to be as per detailed
matrix for each QP.
2.11 In line with international practice there is a provision for
moderation of marks to account for borderline cases. This
process also covers differential moderation possibility across
Theory/ Practical/ Viva.
2.12 Moderation could also be necessitated owing to variation
between assessors and strictness in marking. This moderation
to be carried out by concerned Assessing Body in
consultation with ASDC.
2.13 In addition to recording markings of the candidate evaluation,
the Assessor will also be recording general observations for
every batch as per ASDC format. This record will be useful in
carrying out (2.11-2.12) above.

- Any specific assessment approach relating to a particular job role:

o ASDC could consider only online test for some job roles
such as in Design Engineering /Quality
- ASDC assessment process would also provision a suitable re-
evaluation mechanism which would offer a fair chance to the
TP/candidates for Obtaining an accurate outcome.
- ASDC assessment process would also provision re assessment of
a batch in case the TP has enough reason to opt for this on
payment of the due assessment fee.

Assessment Process

- ASDC Training Partner will intimate ASDC for readiness of a

batch for assessment preferably 15 days before the intended

NSQC APPROVED 9
NSQF QUALIFICATION FILE
Approved in 11th NCVET-NSQC dated: 31st August, 2021

assessment.

- Within 3 working days ASDC will finalize an Assessing Partner

for carrying out the assessment

- Assessing Partner will deploy one or more ASDC approved

assessor For carrying out the assessment.

- Theory/Knowledge test of the approximate duration of 30-60

minutes will be conducted online for which the online link will be
generated by the ASDC Technology Partner and shared with
Assessment Partner.

- Online test will be conducted in the presence of ASDC assessor.

(ASDC is encouraging development of technology enabled
proctoring and when this is ready, the online test could be
conducted without requiring human proctoring)

- Exception to an online test in favour of Paper Test would be

subject to non-availability of requisite broad band and/or
hardware device. Moreover, this could be allowed only after
ascertain genuinely of request.

- ASDC assessor would be conducting Practical and Viva as per

the criteria provided in the NOS/QP.
- ASDC Assessment Partner will ensure that the assessor to be
deployed has complete understanding of the ASDC Assessment
Process and the QP/NOS relevant to the assessment.
- Assessor would be reaching the venue well in time and review
and on the ground verify the batch information already provided
by TP.
- Assessor will then proceed to conduct the assessment as per
ASDC Format starting with the attendance.
- Assessor would be capturing Viva and Practical marks on a
device that has ASDC assessment link. Technology systems
deployed in ASDC assessment process have provision for
instantly capturing assessor evaluations in only the standard
NOS/QP aligned format.
- In addition to recording markings of the evaluation, the Assessor
will also be recording general observations for every batch as per
ASDC format as appended below. This record will be useful in
carrying out result review process.
Result Processing
- ASDC Assessment Partner responsible for Technology Platform
will convert the assessment data captured by Assessor on the
NSQC APPROVED 9
NSQF QUALIFICATION FILE
Approved in 11th NCVET-NSQC dated: 31st August, 2021

device into result matrix and share the same with ASDC
- ASDC Assessment cell will view the results for compliance to
process and / or need for moderation in consultation with the
Assessing Partner to arrive at final result for the batch as per
ASDC acceptance Criteria.
- Assessing Partner will publish finalized results on data base for
viewing of the Training Partner
- ASDC would issue a certificate after due verifications of candidate
authenticity by way of a unique identification number such as
Aadhaar.
- Certificates will be shared preferably in digital form with Training
Partners
- Training Partners would be authorized to distribute certificate to
candidates after printing them on a standard sheet as per ASDC
template.

Re-evaluation of batch result

- Results once published will be treated as final. However, as per

ASDC Assessment Strategy, there is need for provisioning a re-
evaluation of results if desired by a TP essentially to cover a
case where the TPs internal assessments are at large variance
with the results.
- Re-evaluation will be done batch wise.
- ASDC Assessment cell will carry out re-evaluation in two steps:
o Check for totalling error, if any
o Use statistical tools where required to establish a pattern
and extent of borderline cases.
o Refer to the Assessor feedback form for the given batch
o Use a weightage reference table to establish priority of type
of assessment eg Theory or Practical or Viva
o Where required, share the findings with Assessment
Partner for review and concurrence.
o Establish a modified range of acceptance based on above
o In case of need for moderation based on assessor level
variation, to consult the Assessing Partner/Assessor and
facilitate moderated values.
o Re do the results based on above process
o Share the revised results with TP

Quality Assurance & Audit

While the Assessment Process based on a well-defined strategy as

NSQC APPROVED 9
NSQF QUALIFICATION FILE
Approved in 11th NCVET-NSQC dated: 31st August, 2021

above, does have an in-built quality assurance, ASDC also has a

plan that augments assurance.
This entails a Quality Audit process as defined below:
There will be a 2 tier Audit of the assessment process:

Tier 1 Audit
1 ASDC Assessor will be required to submit a report for each
assessment carried out. This report will be as per ASDC format as
described in the Assessment Process. The format of the report aims
to capture details of the Training Delivery process, soft & hard
infrastructure, Training of Trainer, industry connect and overall
approach to training delivery vis a vis expectation of ASDC QP/NOS.
2 Each Assessment Partner is required to carry out and submit Tier 1
audit reports as per a plan and frequency agreed with ASDC.
3 ASDC will continuously review the Tier 1 audit reports for any
alarming observation or trend.
4 ASDC will develop and execute a suitable action plan to redress the
situation as deemed necessary for a given case.
Tier 2 Audit
1 ASDC to carry out a Tier 2 level Audit as per a plan being developed.
a. Tier 2 audit will be carried out by a third party contracted by
ASDC for the purpose.
b. Tier 2 audit will provide adequate coverage for variables such
as Assessing Partner, Assessor, TP and geographical
variations.
2 ASDC Assessment cell to review audit findings at least once every
month or on sos basis.
3 Based on review findings as in 2 above, ASDC to decide on a
suitable corrective action plan and execute the same.

ASDC to record directional needs for refinement of Assessment process

specially for incorporation of Technology that could enhance reliability and
speed of assessments.
