AICTE removes intake cap for ‘well-performing’ institutions

AICTE removes cap on intake for ‘well performing’ engineering institutions from 2024. The new Approval Process Handbook (APH) for 2024-27 allows ‘hibernation’ for upgradation/revamping. Undergraduate management and computer application courses now fall under AICTE’s ambit. Good performing institutions can get three years’ extension of approval (EoA) if they meet certain criteria. The Handbook also mentions the need for institutions to be ranked in NIRF and QS World Ranking Asia-2024, have NBA accreditation, and a valid NAAC score.
