What is the difference between ITI Turner and ITI Machinist?
ITI Turner (2 years NCVT): focused on lathe machine operations — turning, threading, taper turning, knurling, parting, drilling on centre lathe. ITI Machinist (2 years NCVT): broader — covers milling, grinding, boring, and lathe. Government jobs: Turner specifically recruited for lathe-intensive workshops (Railways, Ordnance). Machinist qualifies for more varied machining roles in DRDO, HAL, BHEL. Some notifications accept either for "Machinist/Turner" posts. Machinist has slightly broader eligibility; Turner has higher Railway vacancy volume.
