Pre Assessment Test (PAT)
Pre-assessments are administered before students begin a lesson, unit, course, or academic program. Students are not necessarily expected to know most, or even any, of the material evaluated by pre-assessments—they are generally used to establish a baseline against which educators measure learning progress over the duration of a program, course, or instructional period, or determine general academic readiness for a course, program, grade level, or new academic program that student may be transferring into.
Pre Assessment Tool for RPL
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a platform to provide recognition to the informal learning or learning through work to get equal acceptance as the formal levels of education. It aims to appreciate prior learning irrespective of the medium of achieving it. In short, RPL is a process of assessment of an individual’s prior learning to give due importance to learning as an outcome rather than learning as process.
RPL is a three step process:
Mobilization & Counselling
The Training Partner (TP) or any other authority as prescribed by the Steering Committee will identify and counsel candidates eligible for RPL through mobilization camps & advertisements etc. The mobilized candidates can be counseled, oriented about the standardized NSQF framework and basis their existing competency will be mapped against the suitable level of the concerned Job role for assessments. Candidates may be mobilized with the help of SSC’s Industry (clusters) connect.
Assessment
The candidates enrolled will be assessed by the Assessment Agency affiliated with the Sector Skill Council on the basis of assessment criteria decided by Sector Skill Council (SSC). The candidate will need to pass in the minimum assessment criteria of a particular QP decided by the SSC.
Assessment is very critical for the success of whole RPL process. There are possibly three ways through which a candidate can undergo the assessment process:
- Stand alone assessment- Candidate approaches the assessment centre on her/his own and gets her/himself assessed
- Worksite assessment- Assessment of the existing employees is carried out at shop floor.
- Assessment at Training centre- Assessment is carried out at the Training Centre.
Certification & Reward Disbursement
Successfully assessed candidates with a valid Aadhaar or alternate ID (as per process) will be eligible for either “Full Qualification” or “Partial Qualification – NOS based Certification” as described above under Overall Approach of RPL. The reward in both cases will be the same (as per Sector, QP and NSQF Level) .
Certified candidates with valid bank details will be processed for reward money by NSDC.
Process of conducting rpl for training partnert
- Login – Id for all candidates will be generated and shared with the training partner prior to the pre – assessment date.
- Pre- assessment will be time bound.
- Total Duration : 30 minutes
- Number of questions : 10 (All mandatory)
- Job Role wise questions are attached. There are 15 Questions for each Job role. The questions while being downloaded by the candidate should be delivered duly randomized.
- Each question to carry 2 marks.
- Criteria for clearing the test will be 50%.
- When a candidate logs in , following activities is displayed
- Instruction Page
- Questions will appear one at a time
- Timer will be active during the assessment
Pre-screening of candidates
Pre-screening guidance, counseling and support will be provided to the candidates by the TP. SSCs will be required to establish a pre-screening criteria for their sector and make it available online. The Training Partners will be mandated to pre-screen the candidate basis of these criteria before the candidate undergoes assessment.
Assessment Platform
The term assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure, and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs of students.
While assessments are often equated with traditional tests—especially the standardized tests developed by testing companies and administered to large populations of students—educators use a diverse array of assessment tools and methods to measure everything from a four-year-old’s readiness for kindergarten to a twelfth-grade student’s comprehension of advanced physics.
Assessments also are used to identify individual student weaknesses and strengths so that educators can provide specialized academic support, educational programming, or social services. In addition, assessments are developed by a wide array of groups and individuals, including teachers, district administrators, universities, private companies, state departments of education, and groups that include a combination of these individuals and institutions.
Innovation Area
-Technology: Tracking of Assessment & Video Recording of Assessments.
-Process: PC and Tablet based Assessment.
Innovation Brief
Technology: OFFLINE /ONLINE TAB BASED ASSESSMENT
- Option of both Online & offline based assessment.
- Offline assessment application works even in absence of Internet.
- Ease of conducting assessment in remote areas where internet connectivity is rare.
- Video Recording will act as a deterrent against any unethical practice and assessment proof for certified candidates.
- Audio & Video recording begins as soon as the assesses /candidate logs in. This will allow remote testing by master assessor.
The purpose of an assessment generally drives the way it is designed, and there are many ways in which assessments can be used. Teacher-created assessments, which may also be created by teams of teachers, are commonly used in a single course or grade level in a school, and these assessments are almost never “high-stakes.” In short, assessments are usually created for highly specialized purposes.

QP/ Nos Creation (Qualification Pack & National Occupational Standards)
NOSs – National Occupational Standards (NOSs) is the standard of performance that needs to be achieved as part of working in a job in the work place in an individual. It also expects that the individual knowledge and understanding meet the standard consistently. A set of NOS, aligned to a job role, called Qualification Pack.
QPs – Qualification Pack(QP) is to drive the creation of curriculum, and assessments. By defining NOS for all the entry level positions, the industry wants to drive competency based training for every job role in industry. All the current vocational courses need to be aligned to job roles.
Aspire Assess Skill, Gurgaon is creating QP/NOS for various sector skill council as we have the expertise and knowledge for creating the QP for various job roles.
Objectives:
- To allow the development of a set of Qualifications for each level, based on outcomes which are accepted across the nation.
- Provide structure for development and maintenance of progression pathways which provides access to qualifications and assist people.
Occupational Mapping
- Identification of all the occupations & job roles across the Sector Councils.
- Profiling of job roles, including expected outcomes and competencies required to achieve the expected outcomes.
- Charting career paths / opportunity for progression, commencing from entry level to senior positions.
- Identification and elucidation of skill deficiencies / gaps - soft, generic and domain specific.
- Identification of employment opportunities for undergraduate level positions (job roles which could be offloaded to 10th / 12th standard students)
Functional Analysis
- Functional analysis is the main tool used to develop National Occupational Standards.
- It involves analyzing areas of work and identifying the outcomes that people should achieve.
- Functions are the activities a person is expected to do as part of the job.
- A function must have a clear purpose and outcomes that are valuable to the employer.
Team Players
A successful planning effort is driven by an interdisciplinary team of participants. The core team will be driven by two roles:

Research Analyst: Responsible for keeping the project on schedule and within the budget. Maintains communication between other team members – Dharmita Prasad.
Pre Assessment Test (PAT)
Recently, National Skill Development Council (NSDC) has made pre-assessment, a mandatory step for Training Providers to determine the capability of students to take the skill examination. This will separate the students who are ready to take the exam and who are not. The students who pass the pre-assessment will be approved and granted access to take the assessment and be certified in their fields. Whereas, students who fail the pre-assessment will be provided training and be given another shot.
