Please review these Terms and Conditions carefully prior to enrolling in any academic program, submitting an application for center affiliation, or using the website services of the National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) accessible at https://www.nbteind.in/.

By accessing this website, registering for a course, paying any prescribed examination or enrollment fees, or applying for study center franchise authorization, you confirm that you have read, understood, and irrevocably agreed to be legally bound by these terms.

1. Institutional Status & Character

The National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) operates as an autonomous skill development, technical, and vocational education board dedicated to non-formal education, vocational training, technical trades, and self-employment skill empowerment across India.

Certificates, diplomas, and marks cards issued by NBTE certify completion of our vocational/technical syllabus and practical competencies. They are aimed at self-employment, industrial trades, private sector occupations, and skill enhancement. Students are advised to verify the specific eligibility criteria of any third-party employer, statutory authority, or university prior to seeking admission.

2. Student Admission & Eligibility

• Candidates must fulfill the minimum prescribed academic criteria (e.g., 8th, 10th, 12th, or ITI pass) as stated in the respective department prospectus for their chosen program.
• All supporting documents, date of birth proofs, and photographs submitted during registration must be genuine and valid. Submission of forged or fraudulent credentials shall lead to immediate cancellation of admission without fee refund.
• Admission into any program is provisional until documentary verification is finalized by the NBTE Central Board.

3. Examination, Evaluation & Grading

• Examinations are conducted periodically (semester or annual patterns) as per the official institutional notification board.
• Candidates must maintain minimum required attendance in theory and practical workshop sessions at their respective authorized training center to be eligible for hall tickets.
• Any candidate caught adopting unfair means, impersonation, or copying during examinations will be disqualified from the session and debarred from future examinations.
• Results published on the website are for immediate communication. Official printed marksheets and certificates signed by designated board authorities constitute conclusive academic proof.

4. Certificate Issuance & Digital Verification

Every original NBTE certificate features unique security parameters, including an official seal, candidate enrollment/roll number, and a verifiable QR code:

• Certificates may be validated at any time through our official web verification system at Certificate Verification.
• Duplication, scanning for counterfeit reproduction, or tampering with the certificate is a criminal offense under the Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act, 2000. NBTE reserves the right to initiate legal prosecution against any perpetrator.
• In the event of loss or damage to an original certificate, a duplicate certificate may be issued upon submission of a formal affidavit, copy of the FIR (Police Report), and applicable administrative fees.

5. Authorized Training Center (ATC) Responsibilities

Institutions operating under NBTE affiliation agree to the following covenants:

• Maintain required classroom infrastructure, computer labs, tools, workshop machinery, and experienced instructors as per board guidelines.
• Adhere strictly to the syllabus and examination schedules prescribed by the NBTE Academic Council.
• Collect only authorized fees from students and remit board registration/examination dues within stipulated timelines.
• NBTE reserves the right to conduct surprise inspection visits. Any center found guilty of unethical practices or substandard education shall face immediate disaffiliation and revocation of franchise credentials.

6. Fee Structure & Refund Policy

• All admission, enrollment, course, center affiliation, and examination fees are non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances once the registration has been processed or study materials/hall tickets have been issued.
• Payments must be remitted strictly via official NBTE banking channels, designated UPI IDs, or authorized center receipts. NBTE bears no liability for unapproved cash dealings with unauthorized third-party agents.
