AICTE will regulate institutes offering BBA, BCA, BMS programmes from the next academic year.
NEW DELHI: The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will now be regulating undergraduate courses in management and computer applications in addition to the postgraduate programmes. The change will come into effect from the next academic year.
The University Grants Commission informed about the AICTE’s decision. “Till date, the AICTE was regulating only the post graduate programmes in management (MBA) and computer applications (MCA). However, from next academic year, AICTE has decided to regulate institutions offering BBA, BMS, and BCA courses in view of maintaining uniform quality and academic standards across management and computer applications programs on the similar lines of post graduate courses/ programmes (MCA/MBA),” it said in an official notice.

The approved institutes have benefits such as faculty development programmes, scholarship schemes for students, model curriculum, free access to e-books in Indian languages through e-Kumbh portal, Margdarshan scheme for institutions, and PARAKH.
UGC explained that technical education and its aspects are controlled and governed by AICTE. Technical education covers programmes in engineering technology, architecture, town planning, management, pharmacy, and applied arts and crafts and other such programmes.
