Technical training gives students the foundation for a career. But employability also depends on how well they communicate, collaborate, solve problems, adapt to change and apply what they learn. At NSTI-W Hyderabad, CTS students get opportunities to develop these capabilities alongside their technical training.

The visit offered a glimpse into the practical nature of training at the institute. Students across areas such as Cosmetology, Architectural Draughtsman, Fashion Design Technology and AI & IoT were engaged in hands-on learning and working on projects connected to their respective trades.
