Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What does my rank in the CG ITI merit list 2026 mean?
Ans. Your rank is your position among all candidates in your category based on your marks percentage in the qualifying exam (Class 10 or 12). A lower rank number means higher marks. If your rank is within the available seats for your chosen trade and institute, you will be allotted a seat in that round. Ranks are displayed both overall and category-wise (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS).
Q2. I applied for CG ITI 2026, but my name does not appear on the Round 1 merit list. Does this mean I am rejected?
Ans. No. Not appearing in Round 1 does not mean rejection. Counselling happens in three rounds. If your marks qualify you for a seat, your name will appear in Round 2 or Round 3 merit lists as seats are filled. Check the official portal on 26/06/2026 for Round 2 and 08/07/2026 for Round 3. Your application remains active until all three rounds are complete.
Q3. My child appeared in Class 10 and applied for CG ITI 2026. How long is the ITI course, and what are the job prospects afterward?
Ans. ITI courses are either one year (non-engineering trades like COPA, Dress Making) or two years (engineering trades like Electrician, Fitter, Mechanic). After completing the certificate course and passing the final exam, graduates are eligible for employment in private and government sectors, further skill-based roles, or entrepreneurship. Many government organisations and large private companies recruit ITI-trained technicians.
Q4. I have been allotted an ITI and trade in Round 1. What happens if I do not report on the scheduled admission date?
Ans. If you do not report to your allotted institute on the specified date (23-25/06/2026 for Round 1), your seat will be treated as forfeited and offered to the next candidate in the merit list. Your application will not automatically move to Round 2; you must follow the official notification’s instructions on the procedure for withdrawal and re-entry into subsequent rounds. Contact the Directorate of Technical Education immediately if you cannot attend.
Q5. What is the application fee, and is it refundable?
Ans. The application fee for General and OBC candidates is ₹60, and for SC, ST, and PWD candidates it is ₹50. The fee is non-refundable. Even if you do not get an allotment or withdraw from the process, the fee will not be returned.
Q6. I do not have a Chhattisgarh domicile certificate. Can I still apply for CG ITI 2026?
Ans. Chhattisgarh domicile is generally preferred for state ITI admissions, but the exact rules and reservations depend on the official notification. Candidates without domicile may be considered in the general merit category depending on government policies for that year. Verify your eligibility with the official notification or contact the Directorate of Technical Education before the application deadline.
Q7. The merit list shows my marks percentage as different from what I calculated. What should I do?
Ans. Verify your marks percentage calculation immediately. If it does not match your actual Class 10 or 12 mark sheet, report it to the Directorate of Technical Education through the official portal or official email within the specified time frame (usually within 2-3 days of merit list release). Submit a scanned copy of your mark sheet as proof. Corrections are made only if the error is verified as genuine.
