AICTE has launched a scheme for funding establishment of AICTE-IDEA (Idea Development, Evaluation &
Application) Lab in its approved institutions for encouraging students for application of Science, Technologies,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fundamentals towards enhanced hands-on experience and learning by

experience, express and excel” as desired by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in the wake of release of National
Education Policy 2020. These Labs are mandated to function 24x7 in the institutions selected and be available
to the colleges, schools and industries around also.

AICTE will provide funding maximum upto Rs. 55 Lakh for the development of IDEA Lab in

By now, 81 Institutions have already been identified to set up IDEA Labs spread over 22 states/ UTs across the

are fully functional. The Labs have been organizing series of activities for faculty and students, from colleges,
polytechnics and schools and offering them impactful hands-on experience. Given the resounding success of the
Scheme, AICTE has been receiving requests from colleges across the country for allowing them also to establish
an AICTE-IDEA Lab in their campus.
