2. What is AICTE?
All India Council for Technical
Education (AICTE) is a national-level
Apex Advisory Body that was
established in November 1945 with an
aim to conduct a survey on the facilities
and provisions available for technical
education in the institutes. The council
aims to encourage India’s development
in an integrated and coordinated manner.
It comes under the Department of higher
education and received a statutory status
by an Act of Parliament in the year
1987. AICTE takes complete care of the
planning and development of technical
education in the institutes of the country.

mid 19th century. Hence, it was important to establish a body
that assured the quality of technical education offered in several
institutes. The colleges had to follow certain norms and standards
set by the body before starting to offer the technical education
courses to the students. This led to the formation of AICTE in
1945.
