National Skills Qualifications Framework (NQF) offers vocational qualifications according to levels of learning, skills and aptitude.
The hallmark of the programme would be that the credit accumulation and transfer system will be integrated in the NSQF,
So candidates can continue education any time with vocational training and work at different stages in their lives according to their needs and convenience.

The framework will also enable mobility among students from vocational to general education and vice versa and help make the qualifications more understandable and transparent.
The framework would be anchored and operationalised by the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA), an autonomous body attached to the Ministry of Finance, mandated to coordinate and harmonise skill development efforts of the Government of India and the private sector.
The framework is the amalgamation of separate skill framework developed by both the HRD Ministry and the Labour and Employment Ministry.
There are 10 levels in the framework, with the entry level being 1, and the highest level being 10. This will enable a candidate to acquire desired competency levels, transit to the job market and, at an opportune time, return for acquiring additional skills to further upgrade competencies.
