Why ITI after 10th / 12th?
ITI is a fast, skill-first path into jobs via apprenticeship + industry trades. If your goal is practical training, low fees, and quicker employability,
a good ITI can be a high-ROI choice—especially in Electrician/Fitter/COPA/Mechanic/Welder streams.

Placements: What you can expect
ITIs in Vizag typically support placements via apprenticeship notifications, vendor tie-ups, and local employer visits. Your trade + performance matters most.

We don’t print salary figures: pay is set by each employer’s offer, and apprentices are paid the stipend fixed under the Apprentices Act for that period. Ask the ITI for last year’s apprenticeship and placement records.
Scholarship & Fee Reimbursement: Is “fee remission” possible?
Often, yes — for eligible students. AP’s post-matric scholarship schemes (applied through the JnanaBhumi portal) have covered:
RTF (tuition fee reimbursement) + MTF (maintenance/hostel support) for eligible categories and income levels. Scheme names and rules change, so confirm the current scheme with your ITI at admission.
- Who usually gets it? Eligible SC/ST/BC/EBC/Minority/EWS categories as per scheme rules + income limits + attendance criteria.
- What is covered? Tuition (as per approved fee) + maintenance support in many cases.
- Action step: Apply via JnanaBhumi / scholarship portal process as instructed by your ITI at admission time.
How to choose the right ITI (simple checklist)
- Confirm the trade is active + seats available (NCVT/State records).
- Visit workshop/labs: equipment condition + practical hours matter.
- Ask last year apprenticeship support details (not just “placement claims”).
- Pick a trade aligned to your interest + local jobs (don’t copy friends).
- Check scholarship/fee reimbursement eligibility at admission itself.
