The All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is a statutory body responsible for the regulation and development of technical education across India. As part of its initiatives to promote holistic development among students, AICTE introduced the Student Activity Point system.
The AICTE Student Activity Point system encompasses a wide range of activities across multiple categories. Some of the key categories and associated activities are as follows:
Each activity carries a specific number of points based on its significance and level of involvement. The points earned by students are recorded by the institution and submitted to AICTE for recognition. AICTE maintains a database of student activity points, which is taken into consideration during placements, scholarships, and other academic opportunities.
The AICTE Student Activity Points system offers numerous benefits to students and institutions, including:
AICTE Council has mandated all the 4-year Technical Degree Enrolled students to Earn 100/75/50/25 Activity Points as per the Instructions. Today, India has seen the enormous development in Urban Infrastructure. Except the pollution and increased expenses for lifestyle, the Urban India has all basic infrastructures such as Education, Health, Transport, Employment, Food and Special Services at the reachable levels. At the same time, Rural India has not seen any development in the accessibility of the basic infrastructures. They have to travel long distances to access even a small basic infrastructure. Though pollution and expenses for lifestyle is very less in Rural Areas, people are migrating to the Urban areas as they need Basic Infrastructures than the other facilities available in Rural India As per the experts, if at all Urban India has seen enormous development it is due to the Engineering Solutions Engineering Implementations Engineering Employments Though engineering contribution is more in the development there are other segments that contributed to the sustainable Urban Infrastructure such as Health Education Transport Dwelling Places Government Policies In comparison, Engineering Solution is seen in less than 10% in the following segments of Rural India: Rural Development Agriculture Animal Husbandry Agriculture Marketing Rural Employment Promoting Local Tourism Women Empowerment Reducing Malnutrition Solid Waste Management
Apart from technical knowledge and skills, to be successful as professionals, students should have
excellent
soft skills, leadership qualities and team spirit. They should have entrepreneurial capabilities and
societal commitment. To match these multifarious requirements, VTU has created a unique mechanism of
awarding activity points over and above the academic grades.
