Assessment Strategy
This section includes the processes involved in identifying, gathering, and interpreting information to
evaluate the learner on the required competencies of the program.

Assessment System Overview

A uniform assessment of job candidates as per industry standards facilitates progress of the industry
by filtering employable individuals while simultaneously providing candidates with an analysis of
personal strengths and weaknesses.

Assessment Criteria

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 the proportion of marks for Theory and Skills Practical for each PC.

The assessment for the theory part will be based on a knowledge bank of questions created by the
SSC. Assessment will be conducted for all compulsory NOS, and where applicable, on the selected
elective/option NOS/set of NOS.

Guidelines for Assessment

20 | J u n i o r S o f t w a r e D e v e l o p e r
Assessment Quality Assurance framework

NASSCOM provides two assessment frameworks NAC and NAC-Tech.

NAC (NASSCOM Assessment of Competence)

NAC follows a test matrix to assess Speaking & Listening, Analytical, Quantitative, Writing, and
Keyboard skills of candidates appearing for assessment.

NAC-Tech

NAC-Tech test matrix includes assessment of Communication, Reading, Analytical, Logical Reasoning,
Work Management, Computer Fundamentals, Operating Systems, RDBMS, SDLC, Algorithms &
Programming Fundamentals, and System Architecture skills.

Methods of Validation

To pass a QP, a trainee should score an average of 70% across generic NOS’ and a minimum of 70%
for each technical NOS. In case of unsuccessful completion, the trainee may seek reassessment on
the Qualification Pack.

Method of assessment documentation and access

The assessment agency will upload the result of assessment in the portal. The data will not be
accessible for change by the assessment agency after the upload. The assessment data will be
validated by SSC assessment team. After upload, only SSC can access this data.
