Inductee teachers in AICTE-approved institutions now have firm dates for their next assessment. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will hold the National Initiative for Technical Teachers Training (NITTT) examination for the April-May 2026 semester candidates on 31 July, 1, 7 and 8 August 2026. Admit cards go live on 23 July 2026.
The test runs online and is remotely proctored, so candidates sit it from their own device under live human invigilation. Before the real thing, NTA has scheduled a webinar and a full-day mock test to help teachers get comfortable with the format.

What NITTT is. The exam gives in-service training to inductee teachers in AICTE-approved institutions and checks their teaching skills. Performance is judged through continuous assignments and a final Internet Based, remote proctored test. Teachers must finish all phases within three years, and that completion is tied to confirmation of probation and eligibility for promotion.
Since a proctor watches remotely, the rules are strict. A few worth marking:
- Human proctors monitor candidates throughout, including what shows on screen.
- If the proctor spots suspicious eye movement or activity, the candidate may be asked over chat to turn the laptop or webcam to show the room. Keep the chat window open.
- Ignoring repeated warnings can get the exam terminated for that candidate.
- No sheets or papers are allowed for notes or rough work.
Candidates may keep only their admit card, a valid ID proof, and drinking water in a transparent bottle.
