The Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship’s Directorate General of Training (DGT) has officially opened admissions for the academic year 2023-24 under the Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) and Craft Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) formats. Over 35,000 ambitious candidates have already registered on the DGT portal since the registration procedure began on June 1.
DGT has extended the CITS registration deadline till June 24th in order to accommodate more applicants and ensure fair opportunities for all. This extension seeks to encourage many more individuals to sign up for the scheme and study the diverse array of courses provided by DGT.

DGT has added two new trades—surveyor and baker & confectioner—under the category of catering and hospitality in order to better accommodate the rising need for instructors with expertise in a variety of popular courses. These trades will be offered in National Skill Training Institutes (NSTIs) in 35 locations throughout India, including Howrah, Chennai, Noida (Delhi NCR), Hyderabad, and others. As a result, the number of seats available under CITS has grown from 14,400 to 16,500. This year, 93 Institutes of Training of Trainers (ITOTs) are taking part in the CITS admissions for the period 2023–2024.
The purpose of adding these courses systematically is to fulfil industry needs and generate graduates who can easily transfer into positions as teachers in Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs).
DGT has incorporated new-age and industry 4.0 courses such as 3-D Printing, Drone Technology, and IT as part of the Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS). These courses are designed to provide students with the skills they need to prosper in the modern-day economy. This project illustrates DGT’s dedication to providing industry-ready training that is in line with the changing job market expectations.
DGT has been tasked with the training of Craft Instructors since the establishment of the Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) in 1950. The instructor trainees undergo extensive training in both skills and training methods, preparing them to impart hands-on skills and educate skilled labour for the industry as a whole.
