There are many schemes, training centers, and apprenticeship models
in India. But very few offer:
A real degree from a top university
A monthly income starting Day 1 .
A structured career path with flexibility
TrainNova, in partnership with TISS School of Skill Education, solves the problems other models cannot.

Is TrainNova better than NEEM?
Yes. NEEM offers only training, with no degree. TrainNova gives you a stipend and a recognized degree from TISS SSE.
How is TrainNova different from BOAT/NATS?
BOAT and NATS are for graduates and offer short-term internships. TrainNova is open to 10+2 students and provides a structured 3-year journey with academic certification.
Is this like PMKVY?
No. PMKVY offers short-term courses with no guaranteed work experience or academic path. TrainNova blends paid work, classroom learning, and a formal degree.
Can this be counted as part of my CSR contribution?
Yes. Many companies integrate TrainNova into their CSR skilling mandates and track measurable impact.
