National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF)

The National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) is a competency-based framework that organizes all qualifications according to a series of Level of knowledge, skills and aptitude. These levels, graded from one to ten, are defined in terms of learning outcomes which the learner must possess regardless of whether they are obtained through formal, non-formal or informal learning. NSQF in India was notified on 27th December 2013. All other frameworks, including the NVEQF (National Vocational Educational Qualification Framework) released by the Ministry of HRD, stand super ceded by the NSQF.

Under NSQF, the learner can acquire the certification for competency needed at any L through formal, non-formal or informal learning. In that sense, the NSQF is a quality assurance framework. Presently, more than 100 countries have, or are in the process of developing national qualification frameworks.

The NSQF is anchored at the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA) and is being implemented through the National Skills Qualifications Committee (NSQC) which comprises of all key stakeholders. The NSQC's functions amongst others include approving NOSs/QPs, approving accreditation norms, prescribing guidelines to address the needs of disadvantages sections, reviewing inter-agency disputes and alignment of NSQF with international qualification frameworks.

Specific outcomes expected from implementation of NSQF are:

i. Mobility between vocational and general education by alignment of degrees with NSQF

ii. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), allowing transition from non-formal to organized job market

iii. Standardized, consistent, nationally acceptable outcomes of training across the country through a national quality assurance framework

iv. Global mobility of skilled workforce from India, through international equivalence of NSQF

v. Mapping of progression pathways within sectors and cross-sectional

vi. Approval of NOS/QPs as national standards for skill training

Note: All Engineering Trades running in ITI Shahdara are under NSQF level 5.

          Only Sewing Technology is running under NSQF level 4.
