Placements is a critical outcome of PMKVY 2016-2020. It is imperative that Training Providers strive to attain minimum 50% placement of certified candidates. Failure to attain placement records will lead to non-payment of 20% tranche, and non-allocation of training targets in the next cycle.

In addition, corrective actions will be taken as per the discretion of NSDC in case of low placements.

Training Providers must seek for target allocation, and subsequently mobilize candidates based on the demands of the market in the said geographical location.The Placement Officer should initiate tie ups with industry lead employers, as well as local employers which would be able to furnish the required documents as per PMKVY 2016-2020 Placement Guidelines.
