ITI admissions: Rising applicants and less seats

Admissions in Industrial Training Institutes have begun and it seems that rising number of applicants will outnumber the seats which are available in ITIs. In past two years there has been a spike of 14.46 percent in the number of applicants applying for the skill development courses and the enrolment figures have improved by 8.02 percent. In comparison to the number of applicants applying the increase in the number of seats is only 5.9 percent. The admission process was flagged off on Monday by the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET) under which candidates who are interested in vocational courses can apply to 1.33 lakh available seats. “Some courses are for two years. In such courses, we increase batch sizes every alternate year,” said Yogesh Patil, deputy director of DVET, adding that the intake capacity is decided after consulting industry experts. The intake capacity is determined by the DVET in accordance with the sectors where the demand for the skilled labor is high. “While deciding the intake capacity, we ensure that the exact number of apprenticeship opportunities are available,” said Patil. ITIs offer vocational and industrial training to the students in order to increase their skills so that they can get jobs. These courses are available to anyone who has studied till class X and was unable to complete the senior secondary certificate exam. "Over the past few years, the DVET has made efforts to introduce unconventional courses and certain courses haven't taken off. Some students take up the course when they don't get admission to a desired course and drop out midway. There is also a lack of awareness," said John Almeida, principal of Joseph Cardijn Technical Private Industrial Training Centre in Dadar.
