Certificate affiliated with Pondicherry University. Candidates who have passed 10+2 years or equivalent or 10th + 2 years ITI shall be eligible!
  • At AIAT, our R&D work is not a solitary endeavour. It's a collaborative effort, a shared commitment to addressing future challenges such as sustainability and rural development. AIAT shall work on solutions for rural India, working hand in hand with Auroville units, international universities, and R&D institutions in and outside India.
  • AIAT and AVF shall work with the Govt. of Pondicherry to include the B.Voc. Courses under the PKFAS Scheme to benefit the students from Pondicherry (Scholarship for the residents of Pondicherry).
  • The curriculums for B.Voc. Courses shall integrate technologies, spirituality, heritage, Yoga, Meditation, personality building and values, including an internship at the industrial site

  • AIAT shall collaborate with Auroville units and local industries in education, R&D, and internships for students.
  • AIAT shall be a non-profit institute of higher education in applied sciences.
  • At AIAT, we recognize the invaluable role of philanthropic private donors in our journey. Their support is not just financial, but a testament to their belief in our mission. We invite them to be a part of our growth, to shape the future of higher education in applied sciences.

Future Direction of AIAT

Providing new perspectives and experiences is an important feature of our school and an inherent element of our programs. Besides English, communication and other soft-skill centered classes, we complement the school experience of our students with events and programs aimed toward environmental, hygiene and health awareness, cultural values and social responsibilities. As part of these efforts, AIAT implements Green Technologies on its campus and integrates them into its curricula.

Through all these initiatives we intend to promote a more optimistic and energetic attitude toward the future and strengthen the drive for our students towards enhancing and/or ensuring their livelihoods as a whole.
