HR Glossary

What is National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF)?

India's competency-based framework that organizes all vocational and professional qualifications into 10 levels based on knowledge, skills, and aptitude, enabling standardized assessment and recognition of skills across industries.

Why it matters in hiring

National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
