How this directory works
  • We list only institutes whose government status we confirmed on official sources, and only courses published on the institute's own website or schedule. Each fact records its source, the period it applies to and when a person last checked it.
  • Last verified shows that check. After 30 days without a recheck a course shows "Information not recently verified". When our monitor sees an official page change, affected courses show "Source checked; awaiting manual confirmation" until someone reviews it.
  • Applications open appears only when the institute's live listing showed seats, or we confirmed it with the institute. Otherwise a course shows "Not confirmed open" — we never assume.
  • Courses that have started, ended or been cancelled never appear as upcoming. Course dates, application dates and reporting dates are shown separately.
  • Restricted eligibility means an earlier qualification is needed (for example an 'A' grade in the basic course) or the batch is for a named group.
  • Spotted something wrong? Use "Report an error" on any course page.

TravelTycoons isn't connected to any of these institutes and doesn't take applications or payments. Facts are copied from each institute's own website on the dates shown and can change — the institute's official page, and its decision on your application, always come first. Not all adventure training in India is government-run: many private schools and operators run courses too; this directory covers only government institutes we could verify.
