Bharat Skills Portal – Empowering ITI Students & Trainers Unlocking Career Growth

By Prashant for PuneriPages.in

Hey there! If you’re a student or job seeker looking to level up your skills for free, the Bharat Skills Portal might be your best friend. Run by the Directorate General of Training (DGT), this platform offers tons of learning resources to boost your career, especially if you’re in an ITI or vocational training. I’ve explored it myself and found it super useful – so here’s everything you need to know, in plain and simple words.

What is Bharat Skills Portal?

Bharat Skills is a free digital learning platform launched by DGT under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. It gives you access to e-learning content related to ITI courses, trade-specific modules, videos, practice papers, mock tests, and even soft skills.

Think of it like a massive library – but online and totally free!

Why Should You Use It?

If you’re a student, especially in a technical or vocational stream, here’s why I think this platform can help you big time:

Absolutely Free: No charges at all. No hidden fees either.
NSQF Aligned Content: All study material is aligned with National Skills Qualifications Framework.
Helpful for Competitive Exams: You get mock tests and question banks that actually help you prepare for real-world exams.
Updated Content: The material is kept up to date with changing industry needs.

I personally found the Soft Skills section really helpful – it teaches communication and interview skills, which most students ignore.

Key Features You’ll Love

E-Books for All Trades: From Electrician to Welder to Fashion Design – they’ve got it all.
Trade Videos: Short, to-the-point videos for quick understanding.
Mock Tests & Question Bank: Super useful for self-assessment.
Soft Skills Training: This includes communication, personality development, teamwork, etc.
Online Workshops & Webinars: Free webinars from professionals and trainers.

Anyone! But it’s especially useful for:

ITI Students
Vocational Training Students
Job Seekers
Trainers and Teachers

Even if you’re not from an ITI, you can still use it for skill development.
