The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), on November 11, 2025, notified regarding the verification of AICTE approval status of an Institution.
The following has been stated:-
• The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), a statutory body under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, was established by an Act of Parliament (Act 52 of 1987). The Council is entrusted with the responsibility of planning and coordinating the development of the technical education system across the country. The AICTE's purview covers "technical education programmes", which means programmes of education, research and training in Engineering Technology, Town Planning, Management, Applied Arts and Crafts, Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Computer Applications and Design, etc. at different levels. All institutions must obtain prior approval from the AICTE to offer any technical program.
• It has been observed that parents, students, and other stakeholders often face difficulty in confirming the AICTE approval status of institutions. To facilitate this, stakeholders are advised to verify approval details directly through the AICTE website at the following link:

• It is clarified that, as per the AICTE Act, 1987, and the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India dated September 24, 2001, in Bharathidasan University vs. AICTE, Universities do not require prior approval of AICTE to conduct technical programmes. However, technical institutions affiliated to Universities, Institutions deemed to be Universities, and institutions offering PGDM programmes do require such approval.
