NTTF recently declared that Lincoln University College (LUC), Malaysia has offered BE program for its alumni network. The requirements are a diploma qualification, alongside at least 3 years of work experience. 

Here are some of the program highlights you must not miss,

1. The duration kept for the course is 1 year. Besides, the study materials for several additional subjects, assignments, or assessments would most likely be provided on an online portal. 
2. You should at least have done one project work, alongside publishing a paper in a recognized journal.
3. If you have teaching experience then you must have published at least two papers in an identified journal.

If the requirements meet, you can undeniably be shortlisted.

No, ITTF does not have the certification of IQAS.

Only official educational documents awarded by recognized educational institutions are evaluated by IQAS. The credentials scored in formal academic training can be evaluated by the IQAS. But non-academic, non-formal, or not short-term professional courses are not put under IQAS.

The NTTF is recognized by the AICTE and approved by the UGC. NTTF also has EOHS and NSDC certifications.

One of my friends was with NTTF as a Training officer for 4.5 years. During the training, he enhanced his core strength in tool engineering, shop floor basics, design processes, hydraulics pneumatics, and even robotics engineering.

According to him, the best part of the training was that he got to clear his theoretical knowledge and apply them practically during his training. If your basics are clear and you can express them properly then you will certainly get decent opportunities at the institute. 

Currently, he is working with Jindal Steel in a new role. His training from NTTF has helped him prepared for the new challenges that come with the job. 

It is suggested not to join NTTF for any course. The reasons are given below –

• Recognition: NTTF does not have AICTE recognition and thus you have no other option other than going for a job in the private sector. You cannot go for higher studies even.
• Study Life: Many veteran professors have left the institute and have not been replaced by equally competent professors. The intake has been increased which has lowered the attention received by each student. 
• Placements: The institute hosts mostly service-based companies with packages of less than 2 LPA. One of my friends was offered INR 8,000 – INR 15,000 per month by a company and it cannot be termed good for a postgraduate degree. 
• Cost of Education - The tuition fee is high around INR 1,60,000 per year and they are increasing it every year by INR 2,000 – INR 3,000. If you have applied for the Bangalore center then you will have to shell out close to INR 7,000 per month on house rent, food, travel, etc. You are looking at a total cost of around INR 3,50,000 for a year degree.

Doing a PG diploma course in tool design at NTTF is not justified at all and I think you will literally waste your time and money on nothing.

One of my friends recently graduated from NTTF and he pursued Tool and Die-making course. Here is a detailed outlook about the course to support your question:

1. The branch is secure to opt if you are ready to stick with the knowledge you acquire from this course. If you keep it intact, securing positions at related companies can be feasible.
2. The salary provided can be comparably less. You should be ready to consider the package you obtain from core companies. 
3. Pursuing this course is only beneficial if want to start your own company following the completion of this course. 
4. It can be highly advantageous in case you are more concentrated on the designs, concepts as well as room departments.

Thus to say, play your card right and make an informed decision. 

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. 

Most people come to NTTF for its placement assistance. If you are in a situation where you have to choose between a job and higher studies. I suggest going for a job is the better option. Even if you go to higher studies you are gonna get the same job. 

NTTF offers decent placement opportunities. According to the recent placement highlights the highest and average CTC offered at the institute is 1.5 LPA and 5 LPA. 

So, doing the job is the best thing for NTTF passed-out students. If you want to do big in your career, pursue and complete your degree in a good college.

The courses offered at Nettur Technical Training Center (NTTF) differ from other institutes across India. However, in case you are looking for a broad spectrum of placement and standard quality of education, it is best that you find an institute that is rather situated in an industrial area, such as the one located in Bangalore.

1. If you are more inclined towards a mechanical-oriented course, then go for a Diploma in Tool and Die Making to secure a relevant job, preferably with a job experience to escalate to a good position later in life. 
2. However, because you will hold a diploma in the course, it might as well take some time to secure a good position in the mechanical field. One of the other courses offered at the institute is Mechatronics. 
3. On the other hand, the courses offered in the department of computers will possibly fetch you a job with minimal pay, at least until you secure a good position with a slight pay raise. 

It is best that you do not join NTTF because the course fee is almost the same as any private engineering college. It would be an extravagant expenditure.
