KOCHI: Keltron Toolroom Research and Training Centre (Keltrac) at Aroor has invited students to join its academic programme in tool and dye making. The institute is offering a three-year diploma course.

According to N. Krishnakumar, director of Keltrac, the syllabus, curriculum, methodologies and the hands-on practical sessions have been conceived to meet the increasing demand of expertise in sophisticated tooling and machining.

Candidates who have passed CBSE, SSLC, THSLC, VHSE, or equivalent examination can apply. For general seats, a candidate should have not less than 50 per cent marks in mathematics and 50 per cent in science (physics plus chemistry).

For CBSE/ICSE candidates, the marks obtained in science are considered in place of physics and chemistry. The age limit is 20 years as on August 1.
