Grow your career. Get recognised. Earn more.
A verified profile you own, honest jobs, AI skills, industry projects and rewards for the work you already do.
Great teachers deserve better than this.
Question papers, lesson plans, course files and CO-PO sheets crowd out teaching and research.
Jobs are scattered and salaries stay secret until the final round. Industry work is hard to find.
Papers, feedback and extra hours rarely get noticed, and FDP certificates prove only attendance.

Questions from faculty
What is an Acharya Passport?
An Acharya Passport is a free, verified profile for faculty. Degrees, experience, NET, SET or PhD, publications and training hours are verified once, and the faculty member can share the Passport with any institution instead of proving the same documents again for every application.
Can a Mechanical, Civil or EEE faculty member move into teaching AI and Data Science?
Yes. The Acharya Academy AI and Data Science track is designed for experienced core-engineering faculty. It combines cohort learning, hands-on labs and a course redesign project, and leads to the Acharya Professional credential in the AI and Data Science track.
How can an industry professional become a Professor of Practice?
Industry professionals join Acharya Pro, complete a short teaching bootcamp on lesson planning, delivery and assessment, and are then matched with institutions that need their expertise for a guest series, a course or a semester.
Do I have to pay to be nominated for an Acharya Rewards award?
No. There is never a nomination fee for Acharya Rewards. The awards are funded by partners, judged on evidence by a published jury, and shortlists are made public.
