The unique “Support to Students for Participating in Competitions Abroad” (AICTE SSPCA) project was introduced by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) with the goal of encouraging global competitiveness among Indian students. “With the world becoming increasingly interconnected, participation in international competitions provides students with invaluable opportunities for skill enhancement, knowledge exchange, and cultural enrichment,” AICTE Chairman Prof. T.G. Sitharam said during the scheme’s introduction. AICTE is dedicated to enabling students to present their abilities on a worldwide platform since it acknowledges the importance of these kinds of experiences. Students or teams in AICTE approved courses (BE, B.Tech., MBA, Hotel Management, and MCA) can participate in international competitions under two categories of SSPCA: category A, involving a renowned international competition, and category B, allowing participation in their own proposed competition.
