? Frequently Asked Questions

Is NCVT better than SCVT for Govt Jobs? +
NCVT (National Council for Vocational Training) is universally accepted across all Central Govt jobs (like Railways and DRDO). SCVT (State Council) is valid for state-level jobs, but some central jobs may restrict SCVT candidates unless they have completed a National Apprenticeship (NAC).
What is the Apprenticeship Act (NAC), and do I need it? +
Many organizations, like Railway workshops and Navy Dockyards, offer 1-year apprenticeships. Completing this grants you a National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC). While not always mandatory, having a NAC gives you direct bonus marks or quota access in Railway Group D and Technician recruitments.
