Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings from AICTE!
We are pleased to inform you that the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will be opening the portal for the AICTE–Industry Fellowship Programme 2025 (Phase 2) on 8th September 2025.
This pioneering initiative—first of its kind in India and possibly across the globe—aims to strengthen the industry–academia interface by enabling faculty members from AICTE-approved institutions to gain hands-on exposure to industry practices and culture.
In Phase 1, more than 30 leading companies participated and offered 150+ fellowship opportunities, with engagements already commenced from 18th August 2025. Building on this success, Phase 2 will begin on 8th September 2025, with the onboarding of additional industry partners and an estimated 350 fellowship offers.
In view of the above, we request your kind support in ensuring timely participation from your institution. Faculty members intending to apply are advised to prepare the required documents (e.g., No Objection Certificate and other institutional formalities) in advance, to facilitate smooth and timely submission.
Applicants must comply with the scheme guidelines, submit an affidavit, and the rules/regulations of both the parent organization and the host industry during the fellowship period. Please note that once selected, faculty members will not be permitted to withdraw or discontinue the fellowship, failing which strict penalty action will be initiated.
We kindly request you to disseminate this information among your faculty members and encourage them to apply for this unique opportunity, which not only strengthens institutional innovation and collaboration but also enhances professional growth through meaningful industry engagement.
