Registry at a Glance

Three Registries, Three Separate Counts

Exhibit 1 · Each figure below is counted independently from its own official source. We do not publish a combined total: 35 of the 159 NCVET Awarding Bodies are also Sector Skill Councils, and a fully reliable name-matched deduplication across all three lists could not be established with confidence.
37
Sector Skill Councils recognized by the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC)
68
NCVET-recognized Assessment Agencies empanelled to conduct skill certification assessments
159
NCVET-recognized Awarding Bodies (52 Standard + 107 Dual recognition)
Methodology & Scope

How This Registry Is Built and Verified

What is covered

  • 37 Sector Skill Councils, each an NSDC-affiliated autonomous body that sets National Occupational Standards for its sector.
  • 68 Assessment Agencies recognized by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) to conduct skill certification assessments.
  • 159 Awarding Bodies recognized by NCVET to certify vocational qualifications: 52 under Standard recognition and 107 under Dual recognition.

Entries are compiled from the official registry pages listed below and spot-verified against those same sources before publication; this is not a solely Large Language Model (LLM)-generated list.

For the 107 Dual-recognition Awarding Bodies, signing status is recorded in aggregate as Agreement Signed / LoI Issued; individual per-entity signing status was not itemized in this verification pass. Confirm directly with NCVET before relying on a specific entity's status for a time-sensitive decision.
