Scholarship to Eligible Hostel inmates- ITI, Andaman and Nicobar Islands

The Scholarship to Eligible Hostel inmates (ITI) is a state scholarship for ITI trainees in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands who stay in a hostel. The Labour, Employment and Training Department of the Andaman and Nicobar Administration runs it. You apply through the official eServices portal, and the listing shows Nil fees.

The official pages I could read do not publish the rupee amount for ITI trainees, the family income limit, or a closing date. The sections below set out what they do say, and where they are silent.

What you get

The service listing says the money reaches the applicant in cash. No official page I could read gives a rupee amount for ITI trainees.

The only rate I found comes from a press release dated 27 May 2015. The Lieutenant Governor approved a 50% hike for school and college students. The same release says the stipend admissible for boys and girls will be Rs. 1,500 per month. The new rates took effect from 1 April 2015. That order does not name ITI trainees, so do not assume the rate applies to you. Ask the ITI office for the current rate before you plan around it.

The ITI’s own page also mentions a stipend of Rs. 100 per trainee per month. That page does not link it to this scholarship. The eServices portal lists a separate “Stipend to ITI Trainees” service.

Who can apply

• Individuals. The application can be submitted by an individual.
• Registration. Applicants need to register to avail this service.

• Not published. The official sources do not give category, domicile, marks, family income or age rules for this scholarship. They do not say who cannot apply.

Documents you need

According to the service listing, the applicant does not have to provide any enclosures or annexures. Hostel admission still needs a signed undertaking. Trainees seeking a hostel place must read the hostel rules from the warden and sign an undertaking. The sources do not list other papers, so ask the ITI office what it needs when you go for hostel allotment.

How students are selected

The official sources do not describe a merit list or any other selection process for this scholarship. For hostel places, allotment is made purely on eligibility criteria and availability of rooms.

Renewal

The official sources do not say whether the scholarship renews each year, or what a trainee must do to continue it.

Important dates

The official sources give no application window and no last date for this scholarship. They do not name a session, so the closing date for 2026-27 is not published in them. The ANI e-Seva listing page shows “Last updated on: 2026-10-07”. On that page, the scholarship still appears with an online apply option.

ITI admissions at Dollygunj are made in August. Candidates are admitted to the course in the month of August every year. The sessional year runs from August to July.
