The First Come First Serve (FCFS) round fills the ITI seats still vacant after the selection lists and CLC rounds. It runs from 10 to 15 October 2026 under the schedule signed by MPSSDEGB on 9 October 2026.

- Print the allotment letter and go to the ITI the same day with all original documents and two sets of photocopies for verification.

The 2026 prospectus lists 86 trades. Eleven of them admit on Class 8 marks: Welder, Welder (Fabrication and Fitting), Plumber, Wireman, Mason, Painter General, Dress Making, Sewing Technology, Weaving Technician, Wood Work Technician (Carpenter) and Driver cum Mechanic. Candidates with higher qualifications can also apply for these trades.
How is the MP ITI merit list prepared?
Your common rank comes from your marks in the minimum qualification of the trade, Class 8 or Class 10. Seats are then allotted by rank, reservation and the order of your choices, and the allotted ITI and trade are shown in your allotment letter.
- You first get the highest choice your rank allows in unreserved merit. SC, ST and OBC candidates get the better of their unreserved-merit and category-merit options.
- After the first list you can take admission and ask for an upgrade, take admission without an upgrade, or skip admission and wait for an upgrade.
- If you get your first choice and do not take admission, the allotment is cancelled and you are out of further counselling.
- If Class 8 trades still have seats and no Class 8 applicants are left, they can be offered on Class 10 marks in the open round.
After the main lists come an open round (with out-of-state applicants), CLC rounds where you report at the ITI on a fixed date, and the FCFS round. The MP ITI merit list page shows how to check your rank and allotment.
How are MP ITI seats reserved?
Half of the seats in each trade are kept for applicants from the ITI’s own district and half are open to the whole state. Unfilled district seats go to state applicants.
| Category | Reservation (2026 prospectus) |
|---|---|
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 20% |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 16% |
| Other Backward Classes (OBC, non-creamy layer) | 14% |
| Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) | 10% |
| Women (horizontal, in every category) | 35% |
| Persons with 40% or more disability | 6% (2% each for locomotor, hearing and visual) |
| Wards of freedom fighters | 3% |
| Wards of Loktantra Senani (MISA detenues) | 3% |
| Wards of soldiers and ex-servicemen | 3% (at most 10 seats per ITI) |
| NCC A, B or C certificate holders | 2% |
Women’s ITIs, such as those at Chhindwara, Khandwa, Ratlam and Sehore, admit only women; their unfilled seats can go to men in the open round. Some divisional ITIs keep COPA seats for fully hearing-impaired or visually impaired applicants. ITI Paldongri admits only applicants from Balaghat district.
What is the fee in MP Government ITIs?
The training fee in a Government ITI is Rs 5,340 per year, and you can pay it in two instalments. Under the 2026 notice, women get a 25% cut in the training fee.
| Fee | Amount (2026) |
|---|---|
| 1st instalment at admission (training fee Rs 2,500 + caution money Rs 250 + exam fee Rs 500) | Rs 3,250 |
| 2nd instalment, by November to December | Rs 2,840 |
| Exam fee (included above) | Rs 500 per year |
| Management quota (IMC) seats in 74 PPP-mode Government ITIs | Rs 15,000 (1 year) / Rs 20,000 (2 years) |
If you leave the ITI after admission, the training fee, caution money and exam fee are forfeited. SC and ST trainees can get the training fee reimbursed through their department’s portal. For a Private ITI seat, you pay the fee at the ITI itself.
What documents do you need at the ITI?
- Allotment letter printed from the portal
- Class 8 or Class 10 marksheet and certificate, as the trade requires
- MP native (mool niwasi) or local resident certificate
- Permanent caste certificate (SC, ST, OBC) and a valid income certificate for OBC applicants

- Original Transfer Certificate (TC), two sets of photocopies of all documents and two photographs
Get your originals verified at the allotted Government ITI and take them back; only photocopies and the original TC are kept. For a Private ITI seat, the documents are verified at a nearby Government ITI. If you do not get them verified in time, the admission is cancelled.
