• Revised Trainee Verification Schedule for Craftsmen Training Scheme courses in Industrial Training Institutes for Session 2025 – reg.

The Directorate General of Training (DGT), under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, coordinates national vocational training programmes in Industrial Training Institutes (ITIS). While the DGT is responsible for prescribing standards and conducting trade test, the day-to-day administration of ITIs is carried out by the respective State Governments and Union Territory Administrations.

• The DGT issues a Training Calendar for each academic session to all State/UT Directorates to facilitate the CTS admission process in Government and Private ITIs in accordance with the prescribed timelines. For the academic Session 2025, the cut-off date for admissions in all Government and Private ITIs was 17th October 2025, and all State/UT Directorates have successfully migrated the data of admitted trainees from their respective State/UT portals to the SIDH portal.
• As per the schedule, the verification of trainees admitted in all Government and Private ITIs for Session 2025 was actually scheduled to commence from 13th November 2025. However, the process was postponed to enable configuration of necessary provisions in SIDH for extending benefits to ITI trainees in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
• In line with NEP 2020, necessary provisions have now been incorporated in the SIDH portal for generation of APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) ID for trainees admitted in all Government and Private ITIs across the country. This initiative will enhance digital storage of academic records, facilitate credit transfer and certification, and promote learner mobility in alignment with the National Credit Framework (NCF) for ITI trainees.
• All Principals of Government and Private ITIs are requested to carefully go through the guidelines containedin the Office Memorandum dated 09.01.2026 (copy attached), regarding implementation of APAAR ID for trainees admitted in CTS courses in all ITIs from Session 2025. Accordingly, ITI Principals shall ensure collection of the prescribed consent form from trainees/parents, prior to completion of traince verification through Aadhaar e-KYC (Step-3 of traince verification) from the ITl approver login.
• It is further clarified that generation of APAAR ID is recommended for ITI trainces, particularly for credit-based and NSQF-aligned programmes. However, no trainee shall be denied trainee verification in case they are not willing to generate an APAAR ID or do not wish to undergo Aadhaar-based authentication. For such trainees, an alternative non-Aadhaar verification mechanism has been provided on the same screen in the SIDH portal.
• To complete trainee verification through the non-Aadhaar mode, the ITI shall mark the trainee as “Non-Aadhaar”, thereafter the trainee shall approach the designated Nodal ITI along with original certificates for completion of trainee verification. The User Manual for Traince Verification issued by this Directorate General is enclosed as Annexure-I.

• In this context, the revised schedule for trainee verification for trainees admitted in Session 2025 in all Government and Private ITIs across the country is as under:
