Intending to maintain uniform quality and academic standards across Management and Computer Application programmes, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has decided to regulate technical institutions offering BBA, BMS, and BCA courses from 2024-25. Till now, AICTE was regulating only postgraduate courses like MBA and MCA.
University Grant Commission (UGC) has informed all the public universities to communicate this to all its affiliated institutions which are offering or intend to offer courses in BBA, BMS and BCA for compliance.
Technical education and its related aspects are controlled and governed by the AICTE Act of 1987. According to this Act, technical education, research, training in engineering technology, architecture, town planning, management, pharmacy, applied arts and crafts courses are regulated by the council.
