Admissions
Admission to all NCVT trades is conducted centrally by the West Bengal State Council of Vocational Training through its online portal.
The admission process, step by step
Each trade has its own minimum qualification — most two-year trades need a pass in Class 10, and some one-year trades accept Class 8. The table further down this page lists the requirement for every trade offered here.
Create an account on wbscvt.org using a mobile number and email address you actually use. The portal sends every subsequent message to them.
Enter your personal details and marks exactly as they appear on your marksheet. Choose Government ITI Canning-I and list your trade preferences in the order you actually want them.
Scan or photograph the documents listed below. Keep each file within the size limit the portal states, and make sure the text is readable.
If the portal asks for an application fee, pay it online through the portal itself. Keep the receipt. No payment is ever made to the institute.
Allotment is published on the portal. Check it on the dates announced — the institute also puts up notices on this website and on the notice board.
If a seat is allotted to you, come to the institute on the date given, with all original documents and one set of photocopies. Admission is confirmed only after verification.
