What is Rajasthan ITI Admission?

Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) offer job-oriented, short-term professional courses to help students secure early career opportunities. These courses are generally split into two categories:

  • Engineering Trades: Technical options such as Electrician, Fitter, Wireman, Diesel Mechanic, Turner, and Welder.
  • Non-Engineering Trades: Skill-focused options such as COPA (Computer Operator & Programming Assistant), Stenographer, Dress Making, and Cutting & Tailoring.

Completing an ITI certificate opens up separate government job quotas in departments like Indian Railways, Electricity Boards, Roadways, PHED, and the Indian Army, along with paid apprenticeship opportunities.
