CHENNAI: Government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) have created history by achieving 93.30% admission for the academic year 2023-2024. About 40 out of the 102 institutes have notched up a 100% admission rate, according to a release.

The government ITIs have been offering training in 57 engineering trades and 22 non-engineering trades.

In the current year, 80% of students secured job placements directly through campus interviews, which reflects that the students are job ready upon completion of their courses, added the release.
