AICTE/UGC AFFILIATION
In the world of education, credibility is everything. Whether you’re planning to start an engineering college, management institute, or university, having AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) or UGC (University Grants Commission) affiliation isn’t just a legal formality — it’s your institution’s academic passport to recognition.
AICTE governs technical, management, pharmacy, and architecture education. UGC oversees universities and degree-granting institutions across India. Getting affiliated with these bodies means your institution isn’t just operational — it’s officially recognized, trusted, and compliant with India’s higher education framework.
Why AICTE/UGC Affiliation Matters:
- Legitimizes your institution under Indian education law.
- Validates degrees and diplomas issued by your institution.
- Makes your students eligible for higher studies and government jobs.
- Enables access to government grants, schemes, and research funding.
- Builds national and international credibility for your brand.
