IT-ITeS SSC NVEQF IT-Enablement Part A
Part A: Level 1 and Level 2
Scope
This curriculum guideline document details the learning outcomes with supporting information at NVEQF Level -1 and Level- 2
regarding ‘IT-Enablement’ in the context of employability applicable in multiple industry sectors.
This is to be launched as a project in schools to iron out the requisite processes before a full scale deployment under the aegis of
MHRD.
As anticipated the pilot would be deployed across schools in identified states, who will undertake the ‘Vocational’ track under the
NVQEF.
Acknowledgements NASSCOM would like to thank its IT-Enablement Council Members—Microsoft, HP, Oracle, Intel, Cisco, NASSCOM Foundation, NIOS, Shiv Nadar Foundation, and MIT - for coming together to develop NVEQF IT-Enablement Level 1 and Level 2 curriculum framework.

Mapping Certifications
Online certification for sections of the course curriculum is already available with companies.
These are globally accredited certifications. Post agreement, the available certifications can be declared and students may opt for
certain certifications at academic discounted cost.
Authorized partners of companies like Microsoft, Oracle, HP, Cisco, etc. can conduct the assessment if opted for by students. It is
assumed that there would be minimum 2000 exams conducted per school in the year.
The school is expected to nominate a lab coordinator to administer the exam execution within the school premises.
* Industry will not have the bandwidth to endorse or ascertain the quality and content of independent school board certifications, if
independent assessments are endorsed by the States concerned and designed, developed and conducted by their respective
School Boards.
5 | P a g e
Train the Trainer
It is advisable that a designated partner conduct Train the Trainer (TTT) Program for nominated teachers of the identified schools in
the Stated concerned.
There should be 3 TTT sessions conducted per state. Each of the identified schools should nominate min 2 teachers for this program
as per the selection program specified below. The duration of the TTT program could be 5 days a least depending on the prior
experience of the teachers selected. Cost of training as well as travel; boarding and lodging costs of the Trainers who conduct the
TTT should be funded by Government.
The TTT program should cover the following:
Learning Plan for the NVQEF program for each class (grades IX- XII)
Consistent teaching methodology which needs to be deployed for end students
The trainers would be provided with Instructor Guides for delivering the actual sessions for their students.
The nominated teachers should be conversant with IT and be proficient using Windows / Linux operating systems.
It is advisable that they be good at communication skills (oral and written in English), team work and problem solving skills.
They should be certified in any or multiple globally accredited certifications.
