About the Council

राष्ट्रीय कौशल योग्यता संरेखण एवं स्वायत्त मूल्यांकन परिषद

An autonomous quality mapping registry aligning vocational programs, evaluating candidate competencies, and facilitating outcome-based certifications for affiliated institutions.

Core Mission हमारा संकल्प

The NSQF Council operates autonomously as an independent skill assessment authority, registration registry, and certification council. Our primary objective is to standardize vocational learning by mapping local training curricula to globally acceptable 13-level descriptor benchmarks.

Outcome-Based Evaluation Paradigm

Rather than focusing strictly on conventional class duration or rigid instructional criteria, the Council certifies candidates based on learning outcomes. This guarantees that every certificate holder possesses the practical skill, digital core competence, and diagnostic knowledge corresponding to their designated level.

This council operates independently of direct government ministries, functioning as a quality benchmark for affiliated training providers and private industry employers.
