Accredited, recognised and government-approved
Our curriculum carries accreditation from NASSCOM’s Sector Skill Council and recognition under AICTE’s NEAT 2.0 initiative.
Accreditation is not a badge on a brochure. It determines whether a certificate means anything to an employer, and whether a university can count a course toward its compliance obligations. Every course Skills Factory delivers carries that accreditation through — whether it goes to a university or to an individual learner.
NASSCOM Sector Skill Council
Skills Factory is accredited by NASSCOM’s IT-ITeS Sector Skill Council, which operates under the accreditation framework of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India.
This accreditation means our cyber security and networking curriculum is mapped to nationally recognised qualification standards — including SSC/Q0901 (Security Analyst) and SSC/Q0912 (Network Penetration Testing) — rather than to an internal syllabus of our own devising.
FutureSkills Prime — NASSCOM & MeitY
FutureSkills Prime is a joint initiative of MeitY and NASSCOM, run under the Government of India’s Champion Service Sector Scheme, aimed at building India into a “Digital Talent Nation.” Its courses are aligned to National Occupational Standards and the NSQF, with NASSCOM’s Sector Skill Council — the same body that accredits Skills Factory’s own courses — handling assessment and certification, and eligible learners can access a Skills Passport / Skills Wallet incentive that reimburses part of the assessment cost on certification.
Skills Factory operates within this wider FutureSkills Prime ecosystem, giving our learners a pathway that is recognised both by industry (via NASSCOM) and by government (via MeitY).
AICTE — NEAT 2.0
Skills Factory is recognised under NEAT 2.0, the National Education Alliance for Technology initiative of the All India Council for Technical Education.
NEAT brings vetted ed-tech providers into the formal higher-education ecosystem, giving AICTE-approved institutions a sanctioned route to offer our courses to their students — and lets universities count these courses toward UGC compliance and NAAC documentation, because the underlying qualification is nationally recognised rather than vendor-specific.
MeitY — Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology
MeitY is the nodal ministry behind FutureSkills Prime and the broader Digital India skilling push. As the government partner in the FutureSkills Prime initiative, MeitY sets the policy and funding framework (through the Champion Service Sector Scheme) under which NASSCOM’s Sector Skill Council delivers assessments and certification.
Skills Factory’s alignment with NASSCOM’s accreditation framework places our courses within this MeitY-backed ecosystem — connecting our learners to a government-recognised skilling pathway, not just an industry one.
What this means in practice
For universities
Courses can be counted toward UGC compliance and NAAC documentation, because the underlying qualification is nationally recognised — not vendor-specific.
For students
Your certificate is mapped to a national qualification standard that employers recognise, rather than a training-provider certificate that needs explaining at interview.
For employers
A Skills Factory certification tells you what the holder can actually do, because the syllabus is mapped to defined national occupational standards.
Wider ecosystem
Beyond core accreditation, Skills Factory operates within the following government skilling frameworks.
