The '''Indian Society for Technical Education''' is a national, professional, [[Non-profit organization|non-profit]] Society registered under the [[Indian Societies Registration Act]] of 1860. First started in 1941 as the Association of Principals of Technical Institutions (APTI), it was converted into "Indian Society for Technical Education" in 1968 with a view to enlarge its activities to advance the cause of [[Technology education]]. ISTE has an Executive Council at National level.
