1. BACKGROUND
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.
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.

The Apprentices Act, 1961 has been amended and brought into effect from 22 nd
December, 2014 to make it more responsive to industry and youth. Key amendments are
as given below:
Establishment can also engage apprentices in optional trades which are not designated,
with the discretion of entry level qualification and syllabus.

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 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.
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.
