Each ATC is equipped with a new 13,500 square foot workshop, with machinery and materials already delivered. The facilities are designed to accommodate both long-term and short-term training programmes.

According to the state government, out of 11,008 seats available for long-term courses in the 2025–2027 academic cycle, 10,869, nearly 99 per cent, have already been filled.

They added that admissions are still underway and will remain open until 30 September.

From the next academic year, the government expects to open admissions for 1.25 lakh candidates across 23 short-term courses.

Tata Technologies is responsible for training the teaching faculty, with 130 master trainers and 780 trainers being deployed.

Three dedicated training centres are already operational in Mallepally, Khammam, and Nizamabad.
