Home / Policies and Guidelines
NCVET as the unified Skilling regulator of the nation is mandated to provide for standards and regulations in the skill ecosystem to ensure strong industry interfacing, for improving learning outcomes, set quality assurance mechanisms for Awarding Bodies and Assessment Agencies. NCVET is striving to integrate fragmented regulatory systems and infuse quality assurance across the entire vocational training value chain, leading to strengthened outcomes.

To operationalize the abovementioned quality assurance and progressive regulation, NCVET formulates multiple policies in the form of various guidelines, frameworks, orders etc., which are developed and notified across multiple areas of regulation. Some of the examples include Guidelines for Multi-skilling and Cross-sectoral skilling, Guidelines for Blended learning in VET & Skilling, Guidelines on development and approval of Micro Credentials and NOSs, Guidelines for Grievance Redressal Mechanism, etc.

One of the most important policy documents that NCVET has brought out along with the other national regulators and boards in education is a transformational framework termed as the National Credit Framework (NCrF). NCrF is one single credit framework to be used as a meta framework for operationalizing NEP 2020.
