The National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) is a counseling body that was instituted by the Government of India during the year 1956. The council is responsible for devising the syllabus for the craftsmen training, framing the policies, carrying out the All India Trade Tests, and conferring the National Trade Certificates to the successful candidates. With the NCVT’s headquarters in New Delhi, the main objective of the council is to function as a central agency and counsel the Government of India on formulating the training policies and conducting vocational training throughout India.

Primarily, the NCVT imparts vocational training to: the students after leaving schools; workers; ITI graduates with degrees; diploma holders of engineering and non-engineering courses. By doing so, they can enhance their employment prospects through the optimal utilization of the existing infrastructure in Government, private agencies as well as the industrial sector. Both nationally and internationally, the NCVT certifications are given due recognition.

The Industrial Training Institute (ITI) courses are affiliated with NCVT. As part of the ITI programs, a series of engineering and non-engineering trades are included.
