The company invited the first batch of 30 ITI-trained local youth, who had earlier registered their names at the WBIDC's Singur camp office, for a written technical test this morning, a Tata Motors release said in Kolkata. A total of 21 ITI-trained local youth from Beraberi, Gopalnager and Khaserbheri mouzas appeared for the written technical test, which was held at the WBIDC Singur camp office. Examinees qualifying the written technical test and meeting necessary criteria will be sent by Tata Motors to their plants for upgradation of technical skills for a training period of six months. The company will hold more such technical tests for ITI-trained local youth who register their names at the WBIDC Singur camp office. The aptitude test for other categories like SSC pass will be held in due course, the release added.

Preparing job-ready engineers for IT industry
To address the growing demand of first day, job-ready engineers for the IT industry, Asia's leading IT trainer, NIIT, has launched an Integrated ANIIT for Engineers (IAE), a 5-semester IT curriculum for engineering students. A dual-qualification programme to be pursued alongside engineering studies, IAE will open up a new stream to
prepare IT professionals.
As per industry estimates, nearly two-thirds of 300,000 engineers passing out of colleges in India, every year, need re-skilling to be readied for demanding IT jobs. According to Vijay K. Thadani, Chief Executive Officer, NIIT, ''The new initiative of integrating our IT curriculum into the learning offered to India''s engineering graduates, while they are still at college, will greatly improve their IT-readiness. Availability of relevantly skilled IT manpower, will, in turn, fuel the growth of the industry.'' The NIIT is launching the new programme, initially, in the southern cities of Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore. South India produces 54 per cent of the engineers in the country and also offers a huge job opportunity for these students. — TNS
