ITI & NCVT updates

ITI Cutoff & AITT Passing Marks 2026

"ITI cutoff" means two different things. For admission, there is no national NCVT cutoff — each state's ITI admission portal publishes its own merit and counselling results, trade by trade. For the All India Trade Test, DGT sets a minimum pass mark instead of a competitive cutoff: at least 33% in Trade Theory and 33% in Employability Skills in the 2026 CBT.

1. Admission cutoff: open your state's ITI admission portal and find the merit list or counselling round results for your trade and institute.
2. Compare your merit rank or marks with the closing rank of earlier rounds, where the state portal publishes them.
3. AITT pass mark: check that you scored at least 33% in Trade Theory and 33% in Employability Skills in the CBT (DGT's AITT July 2026 guidelines).
4. Result and marks: log in on DGT's SIDH portal (dgt.skillindiadigital.gov.in) with your PRN number and date of birth to see your marks.

ITI admission is run by each state. The state's admission notification sets the merit rules (usually based on your qualifying-exam marks) and publishes counselling rounds and seat allotment on its own portal. Closing ranks differ by trade, institute, category and round, so check the portal of the state you applied in.

DGT's AITT July 2026 guidelines describe a two-hour CBT of 75 questions worth 150 marks, 2 marks per question. Every candidate who reaches 33% in Trade Theory and 33% in Employability Skills passes that component; there is no rank-based cutoff. The practical exam and on-the-job training marks are assessed separately.
