All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is a statutory body established in 1945 under the AICTE Act, 1987. Its primary objective is to promote technical education in India and improve the quality of education and training imparted in technical institutions. AICTE is responsible for regulating and controlling the management of technical education in India and is responsible for granting approval to institutions and programs across the country.

The council provides guidelines, grants, and funds to technical institutions for various activities such as research, curriculum development, faculty development, and student development programs. It also ensures that the institutions maintain their standards and quality, and take necessary steps for continuous improvement of their programs and infrastructure.

AICTE has played a significant role in the growth and development of technical education in India and has helped establish India as a global hub for technical education.
