Training in NTTF during 1978 was very strict, time bound and every action was valued and validated including attitude and behaviour. Tool making and related machining were done in a conventional method and hands-on skills were considered as a major ability. We had daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and semester tests and evaluations which used to filter the weaker students and termination was normal procedure.”
