What is ITI?

ITI, also called Industrial Training Institute, is one of the most sought after courses in India to gain practical in-hand training in industrial skills. It enables one to assess, analyze, and solve the problems currently plaguing the industry. 

ITI focuses on industrial development skills and the students who graduate from ITI are highly skilled in their specific domains. There are several ITI colleges across India offering specialization courses like Machinist, Computer Operator, Date Entry, among many others. Completing these courses makes one directly eligible for employment, as one is already trained in the skills required to work in these specific roles.

ITI courses mostly range from 6 months to 2 years. Several ITIs offer courses to students across India including ITI Goa ,ITI Bangalore, ITI Nashik, ITI Bhopal, ITI Pusa (Delhi), among many others.
