IT-ITeS Sector Skills Council NASSCOM
Introduction
IT-ITeS Sector Skills Council NASSCOM (SSC NASSCOM), the skill standard setting body of the ITBPM Industry, is the education and skill development initiative of NASSCOM. It works with its industry
members and select academic and skill development institutions to help improve the quality and
quantity of the employable workforce available to this industry.
SSC NASSCOM conducted an exhaustive study in the last year to identify various occupations and
the related job roles that exist within the four sub-sectors of the Indian IT-BPM industry. The unique
job roles were concluded in the following manner (with a total of 517 unique job-roles):
Industry Sub-Sector
ITS (IT Services)
BPM (Business Process Management)
ERD (Engineering and R & D)
SPD
(Software
Products
and
Development)

Detailed 'Qualification Packs (QP)' for the 74 unique entry- level job roles (addressing 80% of the net
hires) were developed and published, for all four sub-sectors.
Qualification Packs for all 74 entry- level Job Roles can be accessed through either of the given links:
 NASSCOM Website: http://www.nasscom.in/qualification-pack
 NSDC Website: http://www.nsdcindia.org/national-occupational-standards/standardspublic-ites.aspx
Given the dynamism of the industry a large number of students have to be trained and certified at
these job roles/QPs. The first step in this exercise is to have programs of learning aligned to these job
roles with the appropriate pedagogy to achieve the outcomes articulated in the QPs.
Towards this end:
 aligning curricula to QPs is the critical first phase (Curriculum Alignment Certification) and
 subsequently addressing the conformity of courseware for the same ( Course Conformity
Certification)
This document and the forms within address only the first phase leading to a ‘Curriculum Alignment
Certification’. Please review the QPs w.r.t. the relevant industry sub-sectors and indicate your interest
in the pertinent form. Using the ‘Checklist’ and the ‘Annexure’ attached kindly fill in the relevant
documents/forms and submit the same to cac@nasscom.in . Post internal due diligence, feedback will
be provided and the appropriate action can be taken from your end to enable compliance.
On final submission and acceptance of all the relevant documents including the curriculum
framework in the OBF format (Outcomes Based Framework) w.r.t. the QP concerned, SSC
NASSCOM will award the ‘Curriculum Alignment Certificate’ and publish the same on its website.
