The Career Award for Young Teachers (CAYT) is a government scholarship offered by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to support young teachers in technical education. The scheme aims to promote postgraduate education and research by providing financial assistance to eligible candidates. Under CAYT, 20 awards are granted annually to selected teachers in various technical disciplines.

Applicants must be young teachers in technical education institutions recognized by AICTE. They should hold a postgraduate degree in a relevant technical discipline and have at least two years of teaching experience. There are no specific income or marks criteria mentioned, but preference may be given to candidates with research potential and academic excellence.

Interested candidates should apply through the official AICTE portal as per the instructions provided in the scheme guidelines. Applications typically require submission of academic records, teaching experience certificates, and a research proposal. Shortlisted candidates may be called for an interview or presentation.
