SECTION 3
EVIDENCE OF NEED

What evidence is there that the qualification is needed?

The Automobile Industry in India has witnessed a sharp rise in market demand during the last two decades.
This is true for both four and 2/3 Wheelers. Never the less, with the growing per capita income in the urban
& semi-urban population, the need for 2/3 wheelers have been increasing at a rate not less than 20%.
Besides Indian manufacturers like Bajaj, TVS, Hero, Atul Motors there are MNCs like Piaggio, Honda, Suzuki
who are manufacturing 2/3 wheelers in India using high end technology. On an average, a 2/3 wheelers
becomes serviceable after 2000-5000 KM run and this calls for a huge pool of trained technicians at various
lavels (Semi-skilled & Skilled) in India. Thus this course is relevent to fullfil the demand of the Industry.
What is the estimated uptake of this qualification and what is the basis of this estimate?

Three Wheelers are becoming a popular mode of conveyance and at present 45000 to 50000 of such
commercial vehicle are running in the state of West Bengal. Two Wheelers, on the other hand, are being
possessed by almost 60% household in urban and semi-urban areas. But there are very less number of
servicing centres for these vehicles to cater the need of the users. A requirement of around 80000-100000
skilled technicians in each year is apprehended from a nationwide perspective.
What steps were taken to ensure that the qualification does not duplicate already existing or planned
qualifications in the NSQF?

This qualification is being conducted under the West Bengal State Council of Technical & Vocational
Education & Skill Development under Department of Technical Education, Training and Skill Development
since the academic year 2005 in Vocational Training Centres spread all over West Bengal for class- VIII+
pass dropout youths. In the state of West Bengal the Council is affiliating and awarding body for this
qualification. Thus there is no other existing or planned qualification (Short term courses) in the state aligned
with NSQF.

What arrangements are in place to monitor and review the qualification(s)? What data will be used
and at what point will the qualification(s) be revised or updated?

The council has three well defined sub-committees namely Board of Studies and Skilling, Board of
Examination and Recognition Committee. These committees monitor and review the progress of all
qualifications under its purview on a regular basis.
This qualification will be reviewed and revised at an interval of three years on the basis of the outcome of the
trainees, placement and self employment data and feedback from concerned industries/employers.

Give the titles and other relevant details of the document(s) here. Include page references showing where to
find the relevant information.

SECTION 4
EVIDENCE OF PROGRESSION

What steps have been taken in the design of this or other qualifications to ensure that there is a clear path
to other qualifications in this sector?
On completion of the course, an Assistant Technician (2/3 wheelers) will not be in a position to handle servicing
works independently. For this he/she requires at least one year hands on exposure under the supervision of a
skilled technician(2/3 wheelers). After gaining adequate knowledge and skill, he/she may be elevated as Jr.
Technician. After 2 years working as Jr. Technician, the incumbent may be in a position to become a Sr.
Technician. After working as Sr. Technician for around 5 years, he/she may be able to work as a supervisor or
may opt for independent business on 2/3 wheelers servicing.
