Hi, LPU does not require an AICTE approval since it is already approved by UGC, a statutory body of the Government of India. In a major blow to AICTE, Supreme Court has ruled that an AICTE approval is not required for private colleges running University-approved MBA programs. In addition to it, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) and the Council of Architecture (COA) and approved by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). It is also a member of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). LPU was the first university to get an approval from ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research). LPU has ACBSP accreditation as well as holds an affiliation with Bar Council of India (BCI).
LPU is a university.A university does not require AICTE permission; all that is required is the UGC approval, which we already have.According to the Supreme Court's ruling from the case of Bharathidasan University v. AICTE & others, which was decided on September 24, 2001, universities are not need to obtain the approval or accreditation of AICTE in order to conduct technical programmes.Accreditation is only necessary for technical institutes and colleges that are linked to universities. Therefore, you do not need to worry about the AICTE's affiliation with engineering programmes.
See, UGC provides approval for institutions in general and AICTE provides approval for only those institutions that offer engineering and management courses. In an AICTE-approved Institute, any changes to student intake, the addition of courses, closure of the course, change in affiliation, or change in the name of the course or institution must be approved by AICTE. But it is not so in case the institution is UGC-approved. Earlier the courses administered at Lovely Institute were run under PTU in 2002 and were approved by AICTE. But as in 2006 LPU came into existence after approval from UGC, it needn’t go for AICTE approval anymore. The B. Tech from LPU is completely valid across the world. You can even have a look at the copy of all the approval notifications at LPU’s official website. You can choose LPU for grooming your career in the field of engineering without any doubts. Moreover, at LPU you will get ample opportunities to secure good placement. I hope this will help.
According to the Supreme Court, AICTE approval is required only when the course is being run by an institute. However, LPU is a full-fledged UGC-recognized university, hence AICTE approval is not required. It is situated in Phagwara in Punjab state of India. Established in 2006, it is accredited from UGC, BCI, PCI, AIU,Council of Architecture (COA), NCTE, IAP, ICAR and it is affiliated to Lovely Professional University.
According to the Supreme Court, AICTE approval is required only when the course is being run by an institute. However, LPU is a full-fledged UGC-recognized university, hence AICTE approval is not required. So if a student is joining a course that is run by a UGC approved University and the university is not AICTE approved then the student shall have no fear. The main object to do the course is to have a legitimate and legal degree, to join a public sector or a Private sector job, to do higher study, etc.
