Highlighted Information

Verify whether an engineering, MBA, MCA or pharmacy institution is AICTE-approved with current academic-year approval.

Short Information

The All India Council for Technical Education is the statutory body that regulates technical education in India under the AICTE Act 1987. Every technical institute offering engineering, management, pharmacy, architecture, applied arts, hotel management, MCA, or PGDM must obtain annual AICTE approval (Letter of Approval/LoA). The AICTE Approved Institutions database is updated every academic year and lists each campus's permitted intake, programmes, Faculty-Student ratio, and any deficiencies flagged in the LoA. Students, parents and employers cross-verify institution legitimacy before admission or hiring. AICTE also publishes a separate list of debarred institutions and those with pending Show-Cause notices.
