What is the maximum score possible for project design evaluation in the application form process of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY)?​

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) 1400

The DDU‑GKY application process includes an initial screening stage where each project proposal is evaluated based on two major components:

• Project design, which can earn up to a maximum score of 1400

• Technical criteria, which scores up to 99 points
  The project’s total appraisal score is the sum of these components, prioritizing proposals effectively based on their design quality.

• The project design evaluation encompasses key aspects like:

  • Candidate targets and trade selection

  • Training strategy and infrastructure plan

  • Placement linkages (domestic & overseas)

  • Support systems such as boarding, lodging, and post-placement care

• The technical score (up to 99) assesses the implementing agency’s capacity, infrastructure, past performance, financial strength, and technical expertise.

• This two-part scoring system ensures that proposals are ranked objectively based on both quantitative design strength and qualitative agency capability.

• A minimum technical score (e.g., 10/99) is required just for eligibility before considering the design score.
