If you’re searching for “Karmayogi Shiksha Path” or “Dak Karmayogi,” you’ve encountered one of iGOT’s department-specific branded portals — not a separate platform, but a customized access point for a particular ministry’s employees. Understanding this naming pattern saves confusion when your department uses its own version of the same underlying system.
iGOT Karmayogi — the Integrated Government Online Training platform under Mission Karmayogi (National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building), with an apex body chaired by the Prime Minister of India and implementation managed by Karmayogi Bharat, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). The platform has evolved from a simple training portal into a mandatory digital learning ecosystem for central/state government employees and PSU staff, with over 2 crore officials expected onboarded by end of 2026.
Official Portal: igotkarmayogi.gov.in
Quick Answer: Register: igotkarmayogi.gov.in → “Register” → Full Name, Department/Organization (MDO), Designation → Aadhaar-linked mobile OTP + email verification Login: Registered mobile/email + OTP, or via the iGOT Karmayogi App Cost: Completely free Department-specific portals: Karmayogi Shiksha Path (CBDT/Income Tax), Dak Karmayogi (Department of Posts) — same underlying system, customized access
⭐ Department-Specific Portals — Same System, Different Names
Several ministries run their own branded access point into the same iGOT ecosystem:
| Portal Name | Department | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Karmayogi Shiksha-Path | CBDT / Income Tax Department | Mandatory since January 1, 2026 for all Income Tax employees |
| Dak Karmayogi | Department of Posts (India Post) | Mandatory monthly course completion for all employees/GDS |
| iGOT Karmayogi (general) | All other central/state departments, PSUs | Standard registration |
If your department has a customized portal name, you still register and learn through the same core iGOT infrastructure — only the branding and specific course assignments differ.
⭐ CBDT Karmayogi Shiksha-Path — Mandatory for Income Tax Employees
Effective January 1, 2026, via an Office Memorandum from CBDT’s Directorate of Training, all Income Tax Department employees must register using their name-based departmental email ID (not personal email).
What this portal specifically handles:
- Course nominations and tracking
- Training attendance records
- Feedback submission
- Certificate downloads
- Mandatory training hour monitoring — including courses linked directly to the main iGOT platform
Training-conducting institutions must record all future trainings exclusively on this portal using designation-based email IDs — both participant registration and training recording are mandatory.
Dak Karmayogi — Department of Posts
The Department of Posts runs its iGOT access as “Dak Karmayogi”, with monthly mandatory course lists published for all employees and GDS (Gramin Dak Sevaks) — for example, May 2026’s list was circulated via official departmental notice, alongside other postal-specific training resources (DSS app, e-Office SOPs).
Registration — Step by Step
Step 1: Visit igotkarmayogi.gov.in (or download the iGOT Karmayogi App from Google Play/Apple App Store)
Step 2: Click “Register”
Step 3: Enter your Full Name (must match your service book records)
Step 4: Select your Organization Details — Ministry, Department, and specific Organization (MDO)
Step 5: Enter your Designation (e.g., Section Officer, Assistant)
Step 6: Enter your Aadhaar-linked mobile number → verify via OTP
Step 7: Enter your Email ID — .gov.in/.nic.in preferred, though verified personal email is now accepted if your department hasn’t issued an official one yet
Step 8: Set a password and complete registration
Can’t find your department in the dropdown? Don’t select a random one — use the “Request to Add Organization” link, which triggers the Karmayogi Bharat team to update the database for your specific office.
⭐ App-Specific Login — Common Issue
A significant number of users specifically report trouble logging into the iGOT Karmayogi App even when web login works fine.
If app login fails:
Step 1: Confirm you’re using the latest app version — update via Play Store/App Store first
Step 2: Use the same registered mobile/email as your web account — these are NOT separate accounts
Step 3: Try “Login with OTP” specifically within the app rather than password-based login if issues persist
Step 4: Clear app cache, or reinstall if the issue continues
The app supports offline course material downloads — genuinely useful for learning during commutes without consistent connectivity.
Courses and Karma Points
Courses span Domain-specific training (GST, Digital India, etc.) and Functional training (Ethics, Leadership, Office Procedures). After completing a course and passing the final quiz (typically requiring a 60% score), your certificate generates automatically — accessible from “My Learning.”
Karma Points track your learning progress, and in 2026, many departments have begun integrating these into the Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) — connecting your iGOT learning activity to your formal performance record. (Note: APAR submission itself typically happens through SPARROW, a separate central system — iGOT’s Karma Points feed into this process rather than replacing it.)
The Karmayogi Shiksha Path concept (as a general feature, beyond CBDT’s specific portal) refers to a role-based, competency-mapped learning journey — the system identifies skills required for your specific role and suggests relevant courses, assessments, and certification accordingly.
Transferred to a New Posting?
You do not need to register again. Simply go to Profile Settings → update your MDO (Ministry/Department/Organization) to your new posting. Your accumulated Karma Points transfer with you.
Common Problems + Fix
“Getting ‘User Already Exists’ error”: You likely have a prior registration under a different email/mobile. Use the password recovery option, or contact your Nodal Officer for assistance retrieving access.
“My department isn’t in the dropdown list”: Don’t select an unrelated organization. Use “Request to Add Organization” to trigger an official database update for your specific office.
“Confused about Karmayogi Shiksha Path — is it different from iGOT?”: If you’re specifically with CBDT/Income Tax, Shiksha-Path is your department’s customized, now-mandatory portal within the same iGOT ecosystem. Other departments don’t use this specific name.
“App login not working despite correct credentials”: Update to the latest app version first; use the same credentials as web login (not a separate account), and try “Login with OTP” if password login fails.
“Don’t know if I need to use Dak Karmayogi or general iGOT”: If you’re a Department of Posts employee, your monthly mandatory courses are typically assigned and tracked specifically as Dak Karmayogi — check with your office for confirmation.

Official Links
| Purpose | Link |

The department-specific naming — Shiksha-Path for Income Tax, Dak Karmayogi for Postal staff — reflects how individual ministries are customizing their rollout of the same national platform, not fragmenting it into separate systems each employee needs to navigate independently.
If you’re a government employee registering for the first time, use igotkarmayogi.gov.in directly unless your specific department has explicitly directed you to a customized portal name like Shiksha-Path or Dak Karmayogi — in which case, that’s still the same underlying iGOT system.
