The portal primarily serves students undergoing training under the various schemes of NCVT. The eligibility criteria for NCVT MIS are fundamentally tied to the eligibility criteria of the courses and programs offered under NCVT. Here's a general breakdown of the eligibility:
1. Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) Courses ▼
Age Limit : The minimum age usually starts at 14 years, but there might be variations depending on the specific trade or state policies. There is no strict upper age limit for many courses, but some states or specific trades might have one.
Educational Qualifications : Depending on the trade, candidates might need to have passed the 8th, 10th, or 12th standard. Some specialized trades might require specific subjects in the 10th or 12th or even higher educational qualifications.
2. Apprenticeship Training ▼
Age Limit : The age criteria for apprenticeship programs typically range between 14 to 21 years at the start of the apprenticeship. However, this can vary based on the trade and specific program policies.
Educational Qualifications : Vary based on the trade or vocation. Some might require a minimum of the 8th or 10th standard, while others might necessitate higher qualifications.
3. Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) and Craft Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) ▼
Age Limit : Typically, there's no upper age limit, but the minimum age is often 14 years.

4. Special Courses ▼
NCVT might, from time to time, introduce special courses targeting specific demographics or industries. The eligibility for these can vary based on the course objectives and targeted audience.
5. Other Considerations ▼
Medical Fitness : Some trades or vocations might have specific medical or physical fitness requirements. For instance, certain trades might not be suitable for individuals with certain disabilities.
