2. TRAINING SYSTEM
2.1 GENERAL
The Directorate General of Training (DGT) under Ministry of Skill Development &
Entrepreneurship offers a range of vocational training courses catering to the need of different
sectors of Labour market. The vocational training programmes are running under aegis of
Directorate General of Training (DGT). Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) with variants and
Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are two pioneer programmes under DGT for
strengthening vocational training.
The Instrument Mechanic trade under CTS is one of the popular coursesdelivered
nationwide through a network of ITIs. The course is of two years duration. It mainly consists of
Domain area and Core area. The Domain area (Trade Theory & Practical) imparts professional
skills and knowledge, while Core area (Workshop Calculation science, Engineering Drawing and
Employability Skills) imparts requisite core skill & knowledge and life skills. After passing out of
the training programme, the trainee is awarded National Trade Certificate (NTC) by DGT which
is recognized worldwide.
· Can join industry as Technician and will progress further as Senior Technician, Supervisor
and can rise to the level of Manager.
· Can become Entrepreneur in the related field.
· Can appear in 10+2 examination through National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) for
acquiring higher secondary certificate and can go further for General/ Technical
education.

Instrument Mechanic
· Can take admission in the diploma course in notified branches of Engineering by lateral
entry.
· Can join Apprenticeship programs in different types of industries leading to a National
Apprenticeship certificate (NAC).
· Can join Crafts Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) in the trade for becoming an instructor
in ITIs.
· Can join Advanced Diploma (Vocational) courses under DGT as applicable.
Table below depicts the distribution of training hours across various course elements
during a period of two years: -
The trainee will be tested for his skill, knowledge and attitude during the period of course
through formative assessment and at the end of the training programme through summative
assessment as notified by the DGTfrom time to time.
a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal)during the period of training will be done by Formative
Assessment Method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning outcomes. The
training institute has to maintain individual trainee portfolio as detailed in assessment
guideline. The marks of internal assessment will be as per the formative assessment template
provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in
b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment. The All India Trade Test
for awarding NTC will be conducted by Controller of examinations, DGT as per the guidelines.

Instrument Mechanic
The pattern and marking structure are being notified by DGTfrom time to time. The learning
outcome and assessment criteria will be basis for setting question papers for final
assessment. The examiner during final examination will also check individual trainee’s profile
as detailed in assessment guideline before giving marks for practical examination.
For the purposes of determining the overall result, weightage of 100% is applied for six months
and one-year duration courses and 50% weightage is applied to each examination for two years
courses. The minimum pass percent for Trade Practical and Formative assessment is 60% & for
all other subjects is 33%. There will be no Grace marks.
Appropriate arrangements should be made to ensure that there will be no artificial barriers to
assessment. The nature of special needs should be taken into account while undertaking
assessment. Due consideration should be given while assessing for teamwork,
avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scrap/wastage as per procedure,
behavioral attitude, sensitivity to environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity towards
OSHE (Occupational Safety & Health Environment) and self-learning attitude are to be
considered while assessing competencies.
Assessment will be evidence based, comprising the following:
