Maharashtra SSC Multi-Skill Assistant Technician Pre-Voc/NSQF study plan

Maharashtra SSC Multi-Skill Assistant Technician Pre-Voc/NSQF · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Trade Theory - Mechanical and Electrical Fundamentals

  • Classify at least 25 hand and power tools (spanner types, pliers, hammers, chisels, files, hacksaw, bench drill, angle grinder) by name, use and one safety check for each.

  • State Ohm's law and use it to find current, voltage and resistance in 10 series and parallel circuits, showing substitution and units.

  • Distinguish AC from DC, and label the parts of a single-phase domestic circuit: phase, neutral, earth, MCB, fuse and socket.

Your checkpoint

A two-page handwritten formula-and-sketch sheet (tools, drives, Ohm's law) plus 20 self-set numericals solved with working shown and units, scoring at least 80% on self-check.

Week 2

Trade Theory - Mechanical and Electrical Fundamentals & Multi-Skill Assistant Duties, Tools and Maintenance Practices

  • Describe the construction and working of a single-phase induction motor and its starter, and list the steps to test an earth connection with a megger.

  • Read a vernier caliper to 0.02 mm and a micrometer to 0.01 mm, and record 15 readings of actual dimensions taken around your home or workplace.

  • Write out the preventive maintenance sequence for a bearing: cleaning, inspection for play and noise, lubrication type and quantity, and clearance check.

  • Trace one work-order cycle for a multi-skill assistant from receiving the instruction to closing the record, naming the tools and the person informed at each step.

Your checkpoint

A filled one-page motor and bearing maintenance checklist (test steps, instrument used, acceptable reading) plus a 15-reading measurement log checked against a steel rule.

Week 3

Trade Theory - Mechanical and Electrical Fundamentals & Workshop Calculation and Science

  • Convert between SI units, fractions, decimals and percentages across 30 mixed problems without a calculator error.

  • Calculate the area and volume of 10 workshop shapes (plate, pipe, shaft, tank, cone) and estimate material weight from density.

  • Compute cutting speed, feed and machining time for turning and drilling from given diameter and RPM.

  • Apply gear and pulley ratios to find output RPM and torque in five practical workshop problems.

Your checkpoint

A 30-question calculation workbook section where every answer shows formula, substitution, result and correct unit, with at least 24 correct.

Week 4

Workshop Calculation and Science & Multi-Skill Assistant Duties, Tools and Maintenance Practices

  • Solve 15 problems on levers, pulleys, inclined plane and screw jack, computing mechanical advantage, velocity ratio and efficiency.

  • Calculate stress, strain and safe load on a bolt and a wire from given force and cross-section area.

  • Prepare a four-week lubrication and inspection schedule for a five-machine shop, naming lubricant, interval, tool and record column.

  • Write step-by-step procedures for safe use of a torque wrench, bearing puller, bench vice and pillar drill, stating the PPE required for each.

Your checkpoint

A four-week preventive maintenance calendar for five machines plus 20 solved science numericals, and a score of at least 70% on a 25-question timed self-test covering Domains 1, 2 and 4.

Week 5

Engineering Drawing and Trade Drawing & Multi-Skill Assistant Duties, Tools and Maintenance Practices

  • Draw front, top and side views in first-angle projection for five simple machine parts, using correct line types and hidden lines.

  • Apply dimensioning rules (extension lines, arrowheads, leader lines) and interpret limit notations such as H7/g6 and a surface finish symbol.

  • Convert three isometric sketches into orthographic views and three orthographic views into isometric sketches.

  • Identify section views, thread representation and weld symbols on drawings you have collected, and note the standard followed for each.

  • Close out one maintenance task end to end: indent the spare, record the measurement, update the machine history card.

Your checkpoint

A folder of eight hand-drawn A4 sheets (five orthographic, three isometric) with correct projection, line types and dimensions, plus one completed spare-part indent form.

Week 6

Occupational Safety, Health and Environment & Employability Skills and Entrepreneurship (NSQF)

  • Identify 15 workplace hazards from a workshop walk-through and match each with a control measure using the hierarchy of controls.

  • Select the correct extinguisher for Class A, B, C, D and live electrical fires, and state the PASS operating sequence.

  • Apply lock-out/tag-out and permit-to-work steps to a motor repair scenario, listing who authorises, who locks and who verifies.

  • Demonstrate first aid for a minor cut, a burn and an electric shock, including when to call for help and how to start CPR.

  • Draft a one-page resume for a technician role and answer 10 common interview questions aloud, including one on handling a missed deadline.

Your checkpoint

A pocket safety card (fire classes, PPE list, LOTO steps, first-aid actions) plus a one-page typed resume and a one-page service-business idea sheet with a simple break-even calculation.

Week 7

Basic IT and Digital Literacy & Communication and Soft Skills

  • Perform file and folder operations, install and uninstall a program, and use 10 keyboard shortcuts while working in a Windows environment.

  • Build a 10-row Excel sheet using SUM, AVERAGE and a chart, and format a one-page Word report with headings, a table and page numbers.

  • Draft five professional emails (leave request, material indent, complaint, shift handover, follow-up) with correct subject line, greeting, body and sign-off.

  • Explain and then enable six cyber-safety practices on your own device: strong password, two-factor authentication, phishing signs, UPI payment check, app permissions, safe browsing.

  • Record a two-minute self-introduction and a three-minute telephone fault-report conversation, then score both against a checklist of clarity, sequence and courtesy.

Your checkpoint
