Government Tool Room and Training Centre, Ramanagara

The Government Tool Room and Training Centre (GTTC), Kanakapura, was started in 2005 with technical degree and diploma courses. Situated in Ramanagara District, Karnataka, this institute is certified by the All India Council for Technical Education to spread and advance in the field of tool and die making.

GTTC Kanakapura teaches only one specific course, which proclaims a clear visionary direction of the institution in providing technical education. Boasting a faculty of only 13 members, the institute plans to produce industry-orientated technicians and engineers. Facilities in GTTC Kanakapura include, among others, facilities meant to improve students learning experiences.

The college has state-of-the-art laboratories to equip the students with experience in the working environments of most of the tools used in practice. A library forms a part of this learning resource centre so as to provide for additional information in support of class work.

The institute also has a very good information technology support department to allow students to keep up to date with the current technological developments within the profession. The institute offers a single course, a Diploma in Tool and Die Making . This exercise is a full-time programme, which takes four years to complete to give the students adequate ground in this rather compartmentalised area.

The course has an approved enrolment of 60 students, which has been designed in such a way so as to hold a standard student-faculty ratio, retaining the policy of the institute in providing personal attention to its students. The admission process at GTTC Kanakapura is such that it identifies needy and talented candidates who would make good tool and die makers.
