1. COURSE INFORMATION

During the one year duration a candidate is trained on subjects Professional Skill,
Professional Knowledge and Employability Skills related to job role. In addition to this a
candidate is entrusted to undertake project work and extracurricular activities to build up
confidence. The broad components covered under Professional Skill subject are as below:

The practical skills are imparted in simple to complex manner & simultaneously theory
subject is taught in the same fashion to apply cognitive knowledge while executing task. The
safety aspects covers components like OSH&E, PPE, Fire extinguisher, First Aid and in addition
5S being taught. The practical part starts with edge preparation by hacksawing, filing and fitting
followed by Oxy Acetylene Welding & Brazing, Oxy Acetylene Cutting, Shielded Metal Arc
Welding, Gas Metal Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding and Spot Welding, Plasma Cutting
and Arc Gouging. These processes are widely used in Industries.

During the practice on Welding / Brazing process, the trainees will learn to read the job
drawing, select the required base metal and filler metals, cut the metals by appropriate
process, carry out edge preparation, setup the plant and do welding/Brazing on M.S, SS,
Aluminium and Copper in different positions. On completion of each job the trainees will also
evaluate their jobs by visual inspection, and identify the defects for further
correction/improvement. They learn to adapt precautionary measures such as preheating;
maintaining inter-pass temperature and post weld heat treatment for Welding Alloy steel, Cast
Iron etc. The Work Shop calculation taught will help them to plan and cut the required jobs
economically without wasting the material and also used in estimating the Electrodes, filler
metals etc. The Workshop Science taught will help them to understand the materials and
properties, effect of alloying elements etc. Engineering Drawing taught will be applied while
reading the job drawings and will be useful in understanding the location, type and size of weld
to be carried out.

The professional knowledge taught will be useful in understanding the principles of Welding,
Brazing, induction and Cutting process, use of jigs and Fixtures, distortion and methods of
control, selection of consumables and to take precautionary measures for storage and handling
and apply the same for executing the Cutting, induction Welding, welding and Brazing.

The knowledge and practice imparted on Destructive and Non-destructive testing will be use in
understanding the standard quality of welds and to carry out shop floor Inspection and test in
laboratories.

Trainees of one-year or two-year trade can also opt for optional courses of up to 240
hours in each year for 10th/ 12th class certificate along with ITI certification, or, add on short
term courses

2.4 ASSESSMENT &CERTIFICATION

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 DGT from 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 have 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. The
pattern and marking structure is being notified by DGTfrom time to time. The learning outcome
and assessment criteria will be basis for setting question papers for final assessment. The

4
WELDER

examiner during final examination will also check individual trainee’s profile as detailed in
assessment guideline before giving marks for practical examination.

2.4.1 PASS REGULATION

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%.

2.4.2 ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE

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 team work,
avoidance/reduction of scrap/wastage and disposal of scarp/wastage as per procedure,
behavioral attitude, sensitivity to environment and regularity in training. The sensitivity towards
OSHE and self-learning attitude are to be considered while assessing competency.

Assessment will be evidence based comprising some of the following:

• Job carried out in labs/workshop

• Record book/ daily diary
• Answer sheet of assessment
• Viva-voce
• Progress chart
• Attendance and punctuality
• Assignment
• Project work
• Computer based multiple choice question examination
• Practical Examination

Evidences and records of internal (Formative) assessments are to be preserved until

forthcoming examination for audit and verification by examination body. The following marking
pattern to be adopted for formative assessment:
