Students who have completed Class 10th from any recognised board can apply for the Polytechnic in Fire Technology and Safety course. This makes the program accessible to many students who want to start a technical career early. The minimum requirement is simply a passing mark in Class 10th, and there is no need for high percentages or entrance exams in most colleges.
Students who have studied 10+2 (any stream) or completed an ITI in a relevant trade may also be eligible for lateral entry, which allows them to join the course directly in the second year, saving both time and fees. This option is helpful for students who already have some technical knowledge or who want to upgrade their skills quickly.
There is no age limit in most institutes, and students from any state in India can apply. Colleges in Delhi also welcome out-of-state applicants because this field is skill-oriented and in demand. Overall, the course is open to anyone who is physically fit, interested in safety jobs, and ready to learn practical techniques in fire prevention and emergency management.
