Qualification Pack CON/Q0204

Sector Skill Council Construction

Guidelines for Assessment

1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council. Each

Performance Criteria (PC) will be assigned marks proportional to its importance in NOS. SSC will

also lay down proportion of marks for Theory and Skills Practical for each PC.

2. The assessment for the knowledge part will be based on knowledge bank of questions created by

Assessment Bodies subject to approval by SSC

3. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for knowledge/theory part for

assessment of candidates as per assessment criteria given below

4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for every student

at each examination/training centre based on assessment criteria.

5. The passing percentage for each QP will be 70%. To pass the Qualification Pack, every trainee

should score a minimum of 70% individually in each NOS.

6. The Assessor shall check the final outcome of the practices while evaluating the steps performed

to achieve the final outcome.

7. The trainee shall be provided with a chance to repeat the test to correct his procedures in case of

improper performance, with a deduction of marks for each iteration.

8. After the certain number of iteration as decided by SSC the trainee is marked as fail, scoring zero

marks for the procedure for the practical activity.

9. In case of successfully passing only certain number of NOS's, the trainee is eligible to take

subsequent assessment on the balance NOS's to pass the Qualification Pack within the specified

timeframe set by SSC.

10. Minimum duration of Assessment of each QP shall be of 4hrs/trainee.
