Karnataka Engineering
College Chemistry Teachers Association
A professional academic and research ecosystem that unites chemistry educators across engineering colleges in Karnataka, fostering excellence in curriculum design, research publication, and Faculty Development Programs.
Advancing Chemistry in Technical Education
Established as a dedicated academic network, the Karnataka Engineering College Chemistry Teachers Association (KECCTA) serves as the central voice for chemistry faculty across VTU-affiliated institutions.
We aim to bridge the gap between engineering domains and the chemical sciences. Through statewide Faculty Development Programs (FDPs), workshops, scientific conclaves, and industry internship partnerships, KECCTA empowers teachers to inspire the next generation of engineers.
