The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) now makes it mandatory for institutions offering Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS), and Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programs to obtain its approval. This move aims to standardize the quality of education across technical and management institutions in India.
Institutions are required to align their courses with the AICTE’s model curriculum, ensuring adherence to established academic and industry standards. The council emphasizes the importance of practical training, modern pedagogy, and industry-relevant content in these programs. AICTE approval not only validates the quality of the institution’s programs but also enhances its credibility among students and employers.
- Mandatory Approval: Institutions must secure AICTE approval for BBA, BMS, and BCA programs.
- Objective: Ensure standardization and quality in technical and management education.
- Requirements: Programs must follow the AICTE’s curriculum framework.
- Impact: Enhances program credibility and student employability.
Institutions can refer to the AICTE Approval Process Handbook for detailed guidelines on obtaining approval. Students are advised to check for AICTE approval while selecting their courses to ensure quality education.
