Important Admission Timeline

Eligibility Requirements for ITI Admission

• Educational Qualification: Candidates must have cleared or be currently appearing for the Class 10th (Matriculation) examination from a recognized board.
• Domicile: Applicants must be residents of Bihar and hold a valid state domicile certificate.
• Age Criteria: Minimum age is 14 years as of 2026-08-01. For specific trades like MMT/MT, the minimum age requirement is 17 years. There is no specified maximum age limit for general ITI admissions.

Process for Seat Allotment and Verification

Following the release of the 1st Round Seat Allotment result, candidates are required to download their allotment letter from the official BCECEB portal. Upon selection, students must report to their assigned institute within the stipulated timeframe for document verification. Essential documents include the Class 10th mark sheet, admit card, caste/income certificate (if applicable), character certificate, and domicile proof. Failure to produce original documents during verification may lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat.

Common Application Errors to Avoid

Candidates often face issues during choice filling by ignoring previous years' closing ranks. It is highly recommended to fill a diverse range of trade preferences rather than selecting only high-demand trades, to maximize the chances of securing a seat. Ensure all certificates uploaded during counselling are consistent with the details provided during the initial application phase.
