ITI students get academic equivalence – landmark decision bringing education and skill development closer

In a major decision, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) / Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) came together to sign an MoU that can ensure upward mobility for ITI students learning different vocational skills and trades. With this MoU, ITI students get academic equivalence to pursue their career and higher education aspiration on par with those from high schools and colleges.

ITI logo unveiling Rajiv Pratap RudyThis landmark decision to give academic equivalence to ITI students is preceded by other important decisions like holding convocations and unveiling the new logo for ITIs that are expected to enhance the aspirational value of ITI courses and give the students their due.

At the same time, it ties up with various efforts to modernize the ITIs through public private participation (PPP) initiatives and give opportunities for ITI students to move into regular engineering streams for higher education.

Signing of this unique MOU, will not only break barriers between school education and skill development, it will also open path ways for ITI students, enhance employability and enable NCVT certified, ITI students to earn 10th/12th qualification.

This Memorandum of Understanding will help all past and pursuing ITI students to have their 10th and 12th qualification and they will get academic equivalence. When the proposal to permit the NIOS to sign an MoU with the Ministry of Skills came to honourable HRD Minister, Sh. Prakash Javadekar for approval, he immediately approved the proposal so that the learners pursuing or certified through any of the ITIs can obtain 10th or 12th Certificate.

This has been a long standing demand of ITI students as, in spite of the rigorous studies they pursue, they are not considered equivalent for jobs where eligibility is 10th or 12th pass. Now, the ITI students can write two papers from the NIOS and get credit of three papers transferred from their ITI Curriculum which will qualify them for a 10th or 12th Certificate as the case may be.

  • Technical skills may get you into a workplace. But what helps you navigate it?That was the conversation we explored last week at NSTI Women, Hyderabad, during our session on the human side of employability with the young CTS students.The students participated with enthusiasm and curiosity. A big thank you to Deputy Director Ms. Arulselvi for the warm welcome and for taking us through the institute.Walking through the practical classrooms and interacting with students and faculty gave us an immersive glimpse into the learning happening across areas such as Cosmetology, Architectural Draughtsman, Fashion Design Technology and AI & IoT.As we moved from one classroom to another, it was interesting to see the students and faculty at work and hear about their project goals and experiences. It also reinforced something we often talk about at NSN, technical learning and transferable skills cannot really be separated when we talk about employability.We left with plenty to think about, and hopefully, the students did too.#technicaltraining #employability #iti #skills #education #technology #ai
