Welcome to ISTE TSEC

Founded in 1968 and officially registered under the Societies Registration Act, the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) traces its origins to the former Association of Polytechnic Teachers of India (APTI), established in 1941.

The organization has a strong national presence, including:

• Over 2.8 million (28 lakh) technical teachers and around 535,000 student members.
• More than 2,740 affiliated institutions, including prestigious IITs, IISc, NITs, and other leading technical colleges.
• A network of 1,414 faculty chapters and 1,505 student chapters nationwide, along with 19 state-level divisions.

ISTE is recognized by important national bodies such as the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Department of Science and Technology (DST), and National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The society contributes to policy-making, curriculum updates, accreditation, and teacher development programs.
