ITI admission process to be based on SSC results this yr

PUNE: Students aspiring for a seat at the Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) will not have to go through any entrance test for admissions to the diploma courses.
They can present their secondary school certificate (SSC, Std X) mark sheet and based on merit the admissions would be allotted.
The Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET) that conducts ITI admissions has announced that the required documents like caste certificate, Aadhaar, and others should be ready.
Every year, the demand for ITI seats is very high and nearly two applications for every ITI seat run by the state government institute are received by the DVET.
Admissions coordinator at ITI Ashish Akhade said, “We will conduct a centralised admission process which will be completely online and students can process their forms right from application to admission confirmation.
We have decided not to conduct an entrance test because the admissions are tough, especially with government institutes.” DVET officials said the reason for popularity and demand for ITI courses was due to the fact that the candidates have a high rate of job opportunities open once they are out of the course and the fees were less and also duration of courses varied from one year to three years.
Last year, nearly 4,000 more applications were received by DVET as compared to the previous year.
Director of DVET Yogesh Patil said “Since the past four to five years, the trend has been on high for ITI courses for various reasons including immediate job opportunities and short duration.
The department has introduced many courses based on changing trends which includes robotics, agriculture and others which are also high in demand.” Courses in motor mechanics, electrician, tool and dye maker, refrigeration are in very high demand.
The trend is noticeable since the seats for engineering courses have not found many takers.
Many government ITIs have been sought-after and the cut-off has been above 90 per cent at the end of the first round of the merit list.
Patil said the quality of education has been attracting the students.
