All the courses/ trades are affiliated to Director General of Employment
and Training (DGET) and are conducted as per the curriculum prescribed
by the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT). Certain ITI's
provide short term courses exclusively designed for overseas employment.
10th passed students to B.Tech students can utilize this course.
The trades in ITI are classified into several training schemes. Among
the various training schemes, Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) and the
Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are the most important that provide
pre-employment training. CTS provides long term institutional training. As
Training imparted in Institutions alone is not sufficient for acquisition
of skills, it needs to be supplemented by training in the actual work
place. ATS is a combination of institutional and on-the-job training that
provides skilled manpower to the industry.
Depending on the trade, educational qualifications for admission to
ITIs under the CTS and ATS vary from class 8th to 12th grade and also
the duration. CTS aims at producing semi-skilled workers and the pass
out CTS trainees can enter into apprenticeship. The duration of ATS ranges
from six months to four years and the graduate apprentices are considered
as skilled workers.
Qualifying Test : On completion of desired period of
training under CTS and ATS, the candidates are qualified to appear in
the All India Trade Test (AITT) conducted by NCVT (National Council for
Vocational training). The test is conducted twice a year, October/ November
and April/May. Successful candidates passing out AITT, are awarded the
National Trade Certificate (NTC) and National Apprenticeship Certificates
(NAC) in the concerning trade by NCVT. NTC and NAC are recognized qualification
for recruitment to relevant posts and services in Central/ State Government
establishments as well as in private and corporate sectors and industries.
