Overview

About ASTTPSU

The AICTE Short Term Training Programme (STTP) for the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh and the North-Eastern Region is a faculty-training scheme in technical education. The Ministry of Education is the nodal ministry. It is run by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the statutory body set up under the AICTE Act, 1987 to oversee technical education in the country.

The scheme funds a host university or institution to conduct a short residential training programme for faculty. AICTE releases the sanctioned grant as an advance to the host university or institution, which then runs the training. The programme helps teachers update areas such as pedagogy, subject knowledge and student orientation, so that faculty can prepare students to become active participants in a knowledge society.

It is aimed at faculty at AICTE-approved technical institutions located in J&K, Ladakh and the North-Eastern states. Both the host institution and the individual faculty members who take part are counted as beneficiaries. It runs as a six-day residential programme at the host institution, and the eligibility conditions and grant terms are fixed by AICTE.
