New Delhi: To avoid confusion among stakeholders, the All India Council For Technical Education (AICTE) will not provide partial approval of technical courses to universities.
AICTE has said via a circular that universities should either take full approval of all technical courses or they can continue without AICTE approval. “It has been observed that some central/ state/ private universities are taking partial approval of AICTE for some selected technical courses/ programmes which is creating confusion among the stakeholders,” mentioned the AICTE circular.
The technical education authorities may inspect the varsities to ensure coordinated and integrated development of technical education. “Universities have obligation or duty to confirm to the standards and norms laid down by the AICTE,” read the circular read.
Meanwhile, a recent judgement by the Supreme Court mentioned that universities do not need AICTE’s approval to commence a new department of course and programmes in technical education.
