The Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) is a national, professional organization committed
to the advancement of technical education in India. It aims to bring about a total qualitative
transformation in both the mindset of the personnel involved and the methodologies adopted in the
field of technical education.
The ISTE Chapter of RIT is a vibrant body comprising both student and faculty members. The
Astronomical Society of RIT and the Mechatronics Society of RIT function under the ISTE Student
Chapter (ISTE SC) and play a pivotal role in organizing a range of technical and co-curricular activities
on campus alongside ISTE.
One of the flagship events of the chapter is the ATOM Tech Fest, focused on fostering technical
knowledge among students and helping them build valuable networking opportunities with experts
from various domains. The state-level Execom meet, CONNECT, which brings together ISTE Executive
Committee members from across Kerala for the exchange of ideas, partnerships, and collaborations,
has been successfully conducted at RIT for the past two years. In addition, the chapter has launched
a Skill Development Series titled "Skill Forge", aimed at guiding students with essential technical
skills and practical knowledge.
Apart from this, ISTE regularly organizes talk sessions, various competitions, and workshops. The
Astronomical Society and Mechatronics Society conduct several events, including stargazing
sessions, photography competitions, quizzes, and more.
The Executive Committee meets regularly to plan and execute future activities. The ISTE Student
Chapter continues to thrive on campus, providing a vibrant platform for learning, collaboration, and
technical growth.
