lakh  trained  candidates  under  PMKVY  2015-16,  2.6  lakh  candidates  have  been provided with the placement offers.

Under  PMKVY  2016-20,  which  started  from  2 nd October  2016  onwards, placement tracking is mandatory. The placement data is reported within 90 days of certification of trained candidate. As per data reported on SDMS, as on 01.02.2018, out of 11.8 lakh trained candidates under PMKVY 2016-20, 7.9 lakh candidates are certified.  Out  of  the  certified  candidates,  2.8  lakh  candidates  have  been  placed  in various sectors across the country.

- (e) and (g) Under  PMKVY  2016-20,  focus  on  employment  has  been  significantly enhanced.  The reimbursement of last 20% of training cost to TCs would be made only  after  wage  employment  or  self  employment  to  at  least  70%  of  the  trained candidates. Further, scheme incentivizes Training Centers (TCs)/ Training Providers (TPs) for facilitating placement of the trained candidates as per table below:

| Placement Percentage   | Amount Per Candidate   |

| 86% & More             | 5000/-                 |

Also, TCs are mandated to organize placement/rozgar melas every six month with  the  support of  Sector  Skill  Council. Additionally,  there  is  a special  provision in the scheme to provide post placement support to women, PwDs and candidates from special areas (LWE, North East region and J&K).
