Students cautioned about unapproved, bogus institutes

Students seeking admission in any of the technical institutions must first check the status of approval of the institutions on the website www.Aicte-india.Org and www.Techeduhry.Nic.In, a spokesman of the department said.

"As far as the programmes run under distance mode by the deemed universities are concerned, the approval of the UGC-AICTE-DEC joint committee is mandatory and the matter is being dealt by the Distance Education Council, Indira Gandhi National Open University," the spokesman said

"Any information in this regard may be obtained from the Director, Distance Education Council, Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi and Member Secretary All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi," he said.
