1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Apprenticeship Training Scheme under Apprentice Act 1961

The Apprentices Act, 1961 was enacted with the objective of regulating the
programme of training of apprentices in the industry by utilizing the facilities
available therein for imparting on-the-job training. The Act makes it obligatory for
employers in specified industries to engage apprentices in designated trades to
impart Apprenticeship Training on the job in industry to school leavers and person
having National Trade Certificate(ITI pass-outs) issued by National Council for
Vocational Training (NCVT) to develop skilled manpower for the industry. There are
four categories of apprentices namely; trade apprentice, graduate, technician and
technician (vocational) apprentices.
Qualifications and period of apprenticeship training of trade apprentices vary from
trade to trade. The apprenticeship training for trade apprentices consists of basic
training followed by practical training. At the end of the training, the apprentices are
required to appear in a trade test conducted by NCVT and those successful in the
trade tests are awarded the National Apprenticeship Certificate.

The period of apprenticeship training for graduate (engineers), technician (diploma

holders and technician (vocational) apprentices is one year. Certificates are awarded
on completion of training by the Department of Education, Ministry of Human
Resource Development.

1.2 Changes in Industrial Scenario

Recently we have seen huge changes in the Indian industry. The Indian Industry
registered an impressive growth during the last decade and half. The number of
industries in India have increased manifold in the last fifteen years especially in
services and manufacturing sectors. It has been realized that India would become a
prosperous and a modern state by raising skill levels, including by engaging a larger
proportion of apprentices, will be critical to success; as will stronger collaboration
between industry and the trainees to ensure the supply of skilled workforce and
drive development through employment. Various initiatives to build up an adequate
infrastructure for rapid industrialization and improve the industrial scenario in India
have been taken.

1.3 Reformation

The Apprentices Act, 1961 has been amended and brought into effect from 22nd
December, 2014 to make it more responsive to industry and youth. Key
amendments are as given below:

 Prescription of number of apprentices to be engaged at establishment level

instead of trade-wise.

 Establishment can also engage apprentices in optional trades which are not
designated, with the discretion of entry level qualification and syllabus.

 Scope has been extended also to non-engineering occupations.

 Establishments have been permitted to outsource basic training in an institute of

their choice.

 The burden of compliance on industry has been reduced significantly.

2. TRAINING SYSTEM

2.1 GENERAL

Directorate General of Training (DGT) under Ministry of Skill Development &

Entrepreneurship offers range of vocational training courses catering to the need of different
sectors of economy/ Labour market. The vocational training programmes are delivered under
aegis of National Council of Vocational Training (NCVT). Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) and
Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are two pioneer programmes of NCVT for propagating
vocational training.

Lineman trade under ATS is one of the most popular courses delivered nationwide
through Electricity Boards. The course is of two years (02 Blocks) duration. It mainly consists of
Domain area and Core area. In the Domain area Trade Theory & Practical impart professional -
skills and knowledge, while Core area - Workshop Calculation and science, Engineering
Drawing and Employability Skills imparts requisite core skills & knowledge and life skills. After
passing out the training programme, the trainee is being awarded National Apprenticeship
Certificate (NAC) by NCVT having worldwide recognition.

Broadly candidates need to demonstrate that they are able to:

 Read & interpret technical parameters/document, plan and organize work processes,
identify necessary materials and tools;
 Perform task with due consideration to safety rules, accident prevention regulations and
environmental protection stipulations;
 Apply professional skill, knowledge, core skills & employability skills while performing
jobs and solve problem during execution.
 Document the technical parameters related to the task undertaken.

2.4 ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION:

The trainee will be tested for his skill, knowledge and attitude during the period of course
and at the end of the training programme as notified by Govt of India from time to time. The
Employability skills will be tested in first two semesters only.

a) The Internal assessment during the period of training will be done by Formative assessment
method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning outcomes. The training

5
Lineman
institute have to maintain individual trainee portfolio as detailed in assessment guideline
(section-2.4.2). The marks of internal assessment will be as per the template (Annexure – II).

b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment method. The All India
Trade Test for awarding NAC will be conducted by NCVT on completion of course as per
guideline of Govt of India. The pattern and marking structure is being notified by govt of India
from time to time. The learning outcome and assessment criteria will be basis for setting
question papers for final assessment. The examiner during final examination will also check
individual trainee’s profile as detailed in assessment guideline (section-2.4.2) before giving
marks for practical examination.

2.4.1 PASS REGULATION

The minimum pass percent for Practical is 60% & minimum pass percent for Theory
subjects 40%. The candidate pass in each subject conducted under all India trade test.

2.4.2 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 assessment. Due consideration should be given while assessing for team work,
avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scarp/wastage as per procedure,
behavioral attitude, sensitivity to environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity towards
OSHE and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing competency.

Assessment will be evidence based comprising the following:

 Job carried out in labs/workshop

 Record book/ daily diary
 Answer sheet of assessment
 Viva-voce
 Progress chart
 Attendance and punctuality
 Assignment
 Project work
Evidences of internal assessments are to be preserved until forthcoming semester
examination for audit and verification by examination body. The following marking pattern to
be adopted while assessing:
