Alerts and Updates for ARPIT

The Annual Refresher Programme in Teaching (ARPIT) continues to be a key initiative by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) for the professional development of higher education faculty in India. Launched in 2018, it targets 1.5 million teachers through online courses on the SWAYAM platform. No specific updates on exam dates or results for 2025 have been announced recently.

ARPIT exams are typically conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), with results determining certification through SWAYAM. Historically, exams have been held in early April, with registration deadlines in mid-March. As of now, no official schedule for ARPIT 2025 has been released by NTA.

The ARPIT program focuses on discipline-specific content curated by National Resource Centres (NRCs), updated annually to reflect the latest developments. It is recognized by the UGC as equivalent to a refresher course for career advancement. No recent changes to the exam pattern or syllabus for 2025 have been reported.

Over 1,000 courses were curated under ARPIT during the COVID-19 period to support teachers with online refresher training. This was highlighted as a significant achievement in leveraging technology for education. Updates on new course offerings for 2025 are yet to be announced.

While ARPIT remains an ongoing exercise for faculty development, recent news or posts specific to 2025 exam dates, results, or pattern changes are unavailable. Stakeholders are advised to monitor the official NTA or SWAYAM portals for the latest announcements.
