Recognition of Prior Learning

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) largely refers to an assessment process used to evaluate a person’s existing skill sets, knowledge and experience gained either by formal, non-formal or informal learning. The objective of this Skill Certification Scheme was to enable a large number of Indian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will help them in securing a better livelihood. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a component of PMKVY Scheme.

• It aims to align the competencies of the unregulated workforce of the country to the standardized National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF).
• To enhance the employability opportunities of an individual as well as provide alternative routes to higher education.
