Here is what you should know about the unique B.Voc programme by NTTF

In today’s world, having the requisite technical skills, in addition to a degree, is essential for landing a suitable job. What could be better than a course that provides you with the essential technical skills as well as a diploma and a degree at the conclusion of your studies?

In collaboration with prominent universities and colleges, Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF), a pioneer in offering technical training, has established a unique B.Voc programme. Students receive a degree and a diploma as a result of the program’s dual benefits.

The three-year programme uses a concurrent method to give students the option to acquire both a university degree and an NTTF diploma. Students holding a B.Voc degree in a specific skill set can apply for a specific skill-based visa to study abroad or explore a variety of other options for further education. It also qualifies them for a number of competitive examinations that require a three-year degree credential.

List of courses being offered in collaboration with universities and colleges

The main objective of the B.Voc programme is to develop individuals with the technical skills and knowledge needed for manufacturing and allied industries and products. As a result, NTTF has been offering B.Voc programmes in collaboration with universities since 2017.

When students enroll in a Diploma programme at NTTF, they also have the option of enrolling in a B.Voc programme. They will receive two certificates at the conclusion of the three years: an NTTF diploma and a university degree.
