Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programs (AEDPs)

Under the guidance of Mr. VLVSS Subba Rao, the team prepared an ‘Action Plan’ on upscaling the
AEDPs in Telangana for AY 2024-25 in terms of increasing the number of colleges and the Sector Skill
Councils (SSCs). The team tentatively shortlisted 104 colleges for expanding AEDPs in Telangana.
The team prepared and shared a ‘Survey Questionnaire’ to these 104 colleges in understanding their
preferences in the expansion of AEDPs from the next year. The team also prepared an ‘Action Plan’ on
expanding the AEDPs to 04 other states from AY 2024-25. As an ongoing effort to scale up AEDPs for
the upcoming academic session, a meeting was held with the Life Sciences Sector Skill Development
Council (LSSSDC) on 17th January 2024 to discuss on the credit framework and curriculum for
introducing AEDPs in Pharma and Biotech sectors.
