When engineering
colleges in the state of Mumbai are facing the shortage of
candidates, the Industrial Training Institutes by the Government of
India have emerged as a winner.
There are around
1.36 lakh seats available in It is this year and 3000 new seats have
also been added in order to accommodate the increasing demand from
the students for the pragmatic courses. Contrary to the situation, no
new seats were added to the engineering colleges of the state and
intake is likely to fall by 10,000 seats, the sources said.
Sources in the
Directorate of Vocational Education and Training said that some of
the courses offered by the ITIs are in great demand because of the
scope of employability.
Also, ITIs managed
and run by the government are offering more seats than the private
ITIs. In fact, they are offering twice as many seats. In the state,
there are 417 government ITIs and 477 private ones.
In 2017, the ITIs of
the state received twice the number of applications against the
number of the seats which were on offer indicating a rise in the
demand for courses offered by the ITIs. From past few years, ITIs
have been witnessing the rise in the number of applicants.
The DVET has entered
into tie-ups with the several manufacturing giants with the aim of
providing the employment to the students. “This has worked in the
studentsʼ favour and people are seeing that there is an employment
option by the time they pass out,” said a DVET official.
