President of All India ITI Organization, Dr. B.S. Tomar said, "Our 6 point demands sum up that the continuously exploited students should get their rights fulfilled immediately. ITI students regular and old students examination from 2014 to 2020 session which is conducted from November 2020 and still in almost India year. The examination of 40 lakh students has not been completed, so the result should be declared as soon as possible on the basis of promotion or OMR system or practical and ED examination. Private Institutes (ITIs) should be closed with oppressive/ exploitative policies. The conspiracy has given rise to corporate which is a betrayal with the lakhs of students."
Dr. Arun Nayak, Chairman, Chamber of Technical Institutions, said, "When ITI course is practical based then why exam theory based? Industry is looking for skilled manpower which decides the quality of factories. Due to paucity of skilled people There is a huge impact on quality. This process should be changed with immediate effect so that skilled people come to the factories of the country.
