Curriculum in ITIs

The article details the curriculum revision process for vocational training programs offered by Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) under the Directorate General of Training (DGT), Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE). It highlights that courses are NSQF-compliant and approved by NCVET. Curriculum revisions, now occurring every three years (previously five) in line with NEP 2020 and NCrF guidelines, are need-based, driven by technological advancements, industry requirements, and stakeholder consultations. The revised curricula incorporate new technologies like AI, IoT, green energy, electric mobility, and digital skills. The DGT has also introduced 32 new-age/future skill courses and initiatives to encourage female enrollment, with continuous assessment of labor market demand to ensure industry relevance and enhance employability.
