The Indian Society for Technical Education is a national, professional, non-profit making
Society registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. First started in 1941 as the Association of
Principals of Technical Institutions (APTI), it was converted into "Indian Society for Technical Education" in 1968 with a view to enlarge its activities to advance the cause of technological education.
The major objective of the ISTE is to assist and contribute in the production and development of top quality professional
engineers and technicians needed by the industries and other organisations.
Being the only national organisation of educators in the field of Engineering
and Technology, ISTE effectively contributes in various missions of the Union
Government. The Ministry of Human Resource Development, AICTE/DST/MIT/State Govts. are well associated with the ISTE for programmes relating to technical education. |
