In 1950, just after independence, India had a shortage of Technical craftsman and also some junior level skilled workers in order to promote Engineering works. Then was the time when there were training centres opened under Craftsmen Training Scheme and with the supervision of Directorate General of Employment & Training (DGET), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. They started some training programs and this was what was named as ITI which started with just an idea of providing the students out there with the best courses (technical ones) after they complete their class 10th. This was where the start was made and today we can see that ITI specializes in more than 130 different courses and gained a name among people for providing the best courses after 10th. The time period covered by these courses were ranging from 6 months to 2 years and the eligibility was a candidate who passed his or her 8th standard or 10th standard under a recognised university. 

Once these students got registered themselves and completed their training, the trainees used to write a test named AITT (All India Trade test) after the successful completion of which the candidates received a National Trade Certificate (NTC). The candidate's career after this was obviously a promising one after 10th or 12 as they wanted to start their work.
