We are empanelled as PAB with DGT, Govt of India,  Ministry of Labour& Employment and Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, to carry out assessment under Skill Development Initiative Scheme of  Government of India, in  following sectors of Modular Employable Skill (MES), pan – India :-

AIMS OF THE PROCESS

The assessment process aims to test and certify the competency of the persons through Assessing Bodies who seek certification of their skills acquired informally or the persons who have been trained at the registered VTPs.

The main objective of assessment and certification is to measure the competency of the trained youth to perform the tasks required in the work environment by gathering evidence of performance and evaluate against agreed criteria. The process for assessing the skills should be valid, authentic, current, and reliable with proper documentation to remove any subjectivity or ambiguity in the assessment. It is pertinent to mention that keeping in view our capabilities and competencies MSDE has given additional responsibilities of conducting assessment of additional 40 sectors. Now IKANN Security Consultants Pvt. Ltd have been authorized by MSDE to conduct assessment in all sectors of SDI,MES (71) throughout the Country.

METHODOLOGY

We do the certification on 2 counts i.e. theory and practical .Theory is of one hour and practical is of 4 hour. Theory paper consists of multiple choice questions, true false and questions having brief description . Practical paper consists of four themes and viva. We have developed the data bank of question on different sectors. The sources of questions are experts of the advisory board and empanelled assessors and question bank of National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI). We have developed at least 10 sets of each module .They are randomly used for conducting theory and practical assessments. The assessors have clear instruction to open the seal of papers only at the examination center in the presence of VTP administrator .

We endeavor to bring qualitative improvement in the skill development sectors ensuring high standards of assessment ,making the dream of our Honorable Prime Minister of “Making India” coming true.
