ITANAGAR, Dec 20: Arunachal Pradesh became the first state in the country to successfully conduct Computer Based Test (CBT) in All India Trade Test (AITT) for Industrial Training Institute (ITI) students. The examination was conducted exclusively and only for Arunachal Pradesh from December 9-20 by the Directorate General of Trainings (DGT) and National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI), Chennai, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, New Delhi through Directorate of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of Arunachal Pradesh in the state's five government ITIs.
Examination for 795 candidates across five Government ITIs was conducted in 21 trades at Yupia, Roing, Dirang, Balinong & Tabarijo. 
The traditional form of examination using OMRC Sheets was replaced by Web Based examination as done for premier entrance examinations like JEE, AIEEE, NET and it was found to be more accurate, faster and reliable. With usage of technology in the examination process the results are prepared in very short duration without any manual intervention.
Director, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Subu Tabin after visiting the examination centre at ITI informed that the CBT for AITT was a big challenge as in this era of digitization the ITIs in the state are not sufficiently equipped with resources such as computers, switches, high speed servers, LAN etc. 
The task was more difficult to accomplish due to poor internet connectivity in the state in general and places like Tabarijo, Balinong with almost zero internet connectivity. 

This exam was conducted after prolonged lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic in a special arrangement being done by the state government with permission of the Govt.of India for the benefit of the students of the state. 
Everyday ITI officials have to travel carrying the servers to a place with decent internet connectivity to submit the day's exam data to NIMI and get the update of the next day's examination. Inspite of the limitations all the ITIs of the state has successfully conducted the CBT and has led the nation in conduct of the first ever CBT for the students of ITIs, the Director said.
The Director congratulated and appreciated all the ITIs for the successful conduct of  the CBT in a back to back calendar of 12 days and thanked DGT & NIMI team for round the clock support extended to the officers and officials of the Directorate who has been coordinating the entire process. 
The resource management efforts put up by the Department has become a learning experience for various line departments, he said.
