What Is CITS and Why Does This Result Matter?

The Crafts Instructor Training Scheme (CITS) is a one-year instructor training programme conducted under DGT for ITI-qualified candidates who wish to become certified Crafts Instructors at Industrial Training Institutes across India. Admission to CITS 2026-27 is based on the All India Common Entrance Test (AICET 2026), followed by an online counselling process for NSTI seat allotment.

The Round 1 counselling result determines which candidates have been provisionally allotted seats at NSTIs (National Skill Training Institutes) or IToT (Institute for Training of Trainers) based on their AICET merit rank and choice preferences. Missing the document verification window after seat allotment can result in cancellation of the allotted seat.
