Accessibility Statement
The Council is committed to ensuring that our portal is accessible, readable, and highly functional for all visitors, including those with physical or cognitive challenges.
1. Universal Access Commitment
Our baseline philosophy regarding digital inclusivity.
The **NSQF Council** believes that skill-building resources, educational descriptors, and credit information should be available to every citizen without barriers. We design and optimize our independent digital registry to ensure a seamless browse experience for all visitors, including individuals who use assistive technologies.
We are continuously working to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to keep our informational pages light, fast, and easy to consume on all screen form-factors.
2. Dedicated Accessibility Controls
Special tools embedded directly into our utility panel.
This portal features several dynamic options to assist readers in adjusting the display according to their convenience:
- Dynamic Font Adjusters (A-, A, A+): Users can resize the text instantly across the entire portal using the font controller buttons located in the top utility bar. This prevents visual strain and helps users with low vision.
- High Contrast Display Toggles: For users who find reading on a bright white background uncomfortable, our high-contrast black-and-gold theme is accessible with a single click on the contrast adjuster buttons in the header.
- Skip to Main Content: Specially designed for keyboard and screen reader navigators, a hidden link appears immediately at the top of the viewport when pressing the
Tabkey, allowing users to bypass repetitive header navigation links. - Multi-Lingual Translation Integration: The portal includes a secure, protected translator drop-down allowing immediate mapping to major Indian languages (including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, and Marathi) without disrupting page layouts.
3. Industry Compliance Standards
How our interface aligns with established digital accessibility protocols.
To deliver a consistent, predictable, and robust browsing environment, the Council strives to align its web assets with standard digital accessibility practices, which are formulated around these core pillars:
- Perceivable: All crucial informational texts and tables are written in high-contrast fonts. Alternative text attributes (
alt) are integrated for all standard illustrations and institutional icons. - Operable: The interface is designed to support keyboard-only navigation. Interactive slide carousels, tabs, and tables can be engaged smoothly via standard keyboard focus states.
- Understandable: The layout of informational directories, grids, and level maps is kept uniform. The page headers and footer declarations do not contain confusing, blinking, or shifting elements.
4. Technical Specifications
