SRINAGAR: The Administrative Council, which met here under the chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, approved the proposal to continue with affiliation of government ITIs as well as Polytechnics of Leh and Kargil with the J&K Board of Technical Education. The AC meeting was also attended by Advisor to LG R.R Bhatnagar, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo and Principal Secretary to LG, Mandeep K Bhandari.

Now, with the current decision, this arrangement shall be extended till end of academic session 2025-26 or till the administration of Ladakh UT makes its own arrangement.
The decision shall facilitate smooth admission process and timely conduct of examinations in Polytechnics and ITIs of UT of Ladakh as per the scheduled calendar of J&K Board of Technical Examination.
