NTTF Certification CNC: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

I have friends from NTTF and they did get placed after completing their courses from NTTF. One of my friends got placed even before completing his course. You will receive placement offers if you have the required skills. 

Service engineers, automation engineers, manufacturing engineers, inspection engineers, plant head, the floor in-charge, etc. are some of the roles offered at NTTF. In the recent placement, the average and highest CTC offered was 5 LPA and 12 LPA. 

Top companies like L&T, Siemens, Tata Motors, FANUC, Tata Steel, Addverb Technology, Gainwell Commosales, Lohia Corp, Schneider Electric and Timken Limited, etc. recruited students from NTTF.

NTTF does offer good opportunities, so securing a decent job offer depends on your ability and skills. 

It depends on your career planning. If you are willing to pursue engineering, then a regular diploma with an above-average percentage would be a great option to go for. The estimated tuition charges would be on a lower end as well as it is a regular diploma. If your aim is to land a job as soon as your diploma is completed then it is suggested to opt for NTTF.

• If you are going abroad for work and your employer asks for your certificate of equivalency from NTTF, then it will be a huge challenge. This certificate is not issued from the state board of technical education. In the case of a regular diploma, you would be able to receive your certificate easily as it is issued by the state board of technical education.
• The courses at NTTF and GTTC are devised to fulfill the prerequisite of tooling and mechatronics streams. If you opt for tool and Die Making or mechatronics or other similar courses, the challenges your way would increase. You would be at an edge with the continuous explaining of your expertise to your employers your entire life. It is so because the majority of the people are unaware of it.
• If you opt for mechanical, civil, electrical, electronics, or any other regular Diploma then you would not have the need to explain anything and you would have plenty of opportunities throughout your career as well. You can shuffle from one job to another without any hesitation.

In a regular diploma course, there would be a little struggle in the beginning as the colleges do not provide any immediate placements or training programs. If you look into the future then this is a wise choice rather than the specially designed courses.

My brother did PGPDE from NTTF, so I have some idea about both courses.

PGDE:

• It is a two-year program that includes Industrial Design (ID), but engineering is also taught alongside ID.
• Design studios, labs, model shops, and tools are all in poor condition.
• There will be only one experienced faculty, others will give you assignments only.
• The emphasis is primarily on engineering, with little or no emphasis on ID.
• There is no research going on there, and you will not get as much exposure as you would at a Tier II college.

PGTE:

• PGPDE is a two-year program that focuses on tool and die design, engineering, and analysis.
• Workshops are available, but the availability of machines does not match the strength of the students, making it difficult to complete projects.
• There are experienced staff members available, and the teaching is comparatively good. A lot of CAD assignments must be submitted for each semester (which is good for learning in the beginning), but one major disadvantage is that you will never receive feedback on the assignments you submit.
• AutoCAD and Creo software have been taught. However, in the industry, UG NX and Catia are widely used.
• Last but not least, many students enroll in PG school NTTF because of placements. To tell you the truth, only a few companies come to campus. Many companies advertised in advertisements visited the campus last decade, but they still keep it in the ad.
• Nowadays, placements are very poor, either because service-based companies do not visit campus or because the salary offered by them is too low. For the PG programs, the median and maximum CTC offered in current years is 2.5 lakhs and 3.4 lakhs. 

I will advise you to take all these factors into consideration, before choosing PGDE or PGTE at NTTF. 

In NTTF Bangalore there are two centers, E-City and Peenya. I know someone who studied in the E-City NEC campus and the courses she and her batchmates were offered are:

• Diploma in Electronics.
• Diploma in Computer Engineering.
• Diploma in Mechatronics.
• Diploma in Information Technology.
• Diploma in Plant Engineering.
• Post Diploma in Power Electronics.
• Post Diploma in Embedded Systems.

Other courses offered by NTTF Bangalore are M.Tech, ME, Polytechnic, etc.

The courses offered in NTTF Bangalore focus on 70% practical training and 30% theoretical. Achieving a holistic learning experience through workshops, the latest training methods, soft skills development curriculum, library, and internet facilities is the objective.

NTTF is a better option as my brother secured a job offer, on-campus with a decent salary.

The diploma from NTTF is really superior to a regular diploma. Their curriculum is updated according to the industry trends and needs. You will be given proper exposure through seminars, internships, and industry visits. 

The alumni base is also very large and has well-established connections. It also provides you with the college tag, which you can later use during your representation. 

However, you must be more than an average student to succeed; otherwise, it will be difficult. Hard work and perseverance are extremely important for this. So, if you have that confidence in yourself, do opt for NTTF.

Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF) is a group of 20 technical training centers located all across India. After you have completed a course from NTTF, you can do various things.

• You can do post-diploma from NTTF itself like CP05, CP10, CP18, and CP19.
• You can become a senior technician at the Institutes of Engineers India (IEI).
• You can pick up lateral entry courses from institutes and universities such as Sikkim Manipal University (SMU), IGNOU, etc. 
• You can even apply for lateral entry in various courses in universities outside of India such as those from New Zealand, Ireland, and Singapore.
• You can look for job opportunities during the campus placement itself. 
• However, doing a bachelor’s degree in parallel with your job hunting will definitely improve your chances.

These are some of the options which I found out you can do after studying at NTTF. You can choose one according to your choice.
