Hello,

I can totally understand how frustrating it must be—especially when you’ve scored 75%, filled the ITI form correctly, and still didn’t get your name in the COPA trade list. You’re not alone; many students face this due to limited seats, high cut-offs, and errors in application verification.First, ensure that all your documents were uploaded and verified properly. Sometimes, small technical errors or missing documents can affect your application without notifying you clearly. Second, the COPA trade is high in demand, so competition is stiff, even with good marks.

Next year, consider applying to more than one ITI to increase your chances. Also, look into trades that have good career outcomes but less compition, like Electrician, Fitter, or Welder. Don’t give up technical education is valuable, and there are many routes forward.

Wishing you all the best!
