Questions

What is an FDP?

A faculty development programme (FDP) is a short course, often one or two weeks, that helps college and university teachers update their subject knowledge or teaching practice. Universities, IITs, NITs, AICTE schemes and UGC-MMTTC centres run them, online or on campus.

How do I register for an FDP listed here?

Open the programme's page for the fee, last date and contact, then register through the organiser's own link or brochure. The organiser handles registration and certificates.

How are these programmes checked?

Every listing is checked against the organiser's or institution's official website or brochure before it goes up, and past events drop off the list once they end.
