Why CTEVT in Nepal?

Various research studies show that more than 70 percent of the TEVT graduates, on average, are employed (including self-employment). CTEVT fills the same gap in Nepal.

Similarly, its courses are designed and accredited to allow graduates to get higher education opportunities than general education in their relevant subject.

CTEVT Institutes provide training that equips technical and soft skills in the manpower, which allows them to fulfill their dreams in case they want to migrate abroad for education and better job opportunities.

Technical skills add a much-needed requirement in an individual compared to general skills, allowing them to earn more.
