placetoensurethatassessmentisalwaysvalid,reliableandfairandshowthatthesearein

linewiththerequirementsoftheNSQF.

ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE:The assessment for the semester-based qualification is carried out by

conducting formative assessments, and end-of-semester examinations for all trainees aspiring for this

qualification, as per the guidelines given in the Curriculum.

The internal assessments for theory subjects and practical are conducted by the concerned instructors

for evaluating the knowledge and skill acquired by trainees and the behavioral transformation of the

trainees as per the learning outcomes specified the qualification.

This assessment is primarily carried out by collecting evidence of competence gained by the trainees by

observing them at work, asking questions and initiating formative discussions to assess understanding

and by evaluating records and reports, and sessional marks are awarded to them.

Theory examinations are conducted in Fundamentals for Mechatronics, Advance Metrology & Quality

Control, Electrical Circuits and paneling, Industrial Instrumentation and Sensors, Power Electronics &

Drives, Hydraulics & Pneumatics, Mechatronics System Design, Robotics.

The question papers for the theory Examinations contains a combination of subjective, short answer and

one line answer questions.

Practical examinations are conducted for Electrical CAD, Industrial Automation, Advance CAD,

Embedded systems, Project work.

The assessments are designed so as to assess maximum parts during the practical hands on work.

The technical limitations at the training centers are taken care in theory and viva.

Criteria such as use of lift to pick heavy objects or selection of fire extinguisher during a fire are also

assessed under theory/viva.

The assessment guides will be developed to ensure the maximum possible consistency in the

assessment by different assessors and based on the above five strategies (a to d) stated below.

a. Performance based assessment

b. Domain/perormance criteria, Knowledge and Skill based assessment

c. Paper pencil test, Skill test, Continuous assessment and Project work

d. Learning outcome based assessment croteria and assessment tool

ELIGIBILITY TO APPEAR IN THE EXAM: 90 % attendance is compulsory for students to appear for the

assessment.


ASSESSORS:The assessment papers are developed by Subject Matter Experts (SME) available with the

Examination cell of IGTR as per the performance and assessment criteria mentioned.

The assessors made to undergo training and introduction to IGTR Assessment Framework, competency

based assessments, assessors guide etc.

The assessments papers are also checked for the various outcome based parameters such as quality,

time taken, precision, tools & equipment requirement etc.

The assessors are provided with assessors guide developed by the Subject Matter Expert as per the

assessment framework.

The assessment sets are then reviewed by Examination cell for consistency.

To hire assessors with integrity, reliability and fairness. Each assessor shall sign a document with IGTR by

which they commit themselves to comply with the rules of confidentiality and conflict of interest,

independence from commercial and other interests that would compromise impartiality of the

assessments.

THE MARKING PATTERNand distribution of marks for the qualification are attached in a separate

“Annexure - named Evaluation pattern”
