Answer: The University Grants Commission of India is a Union government body that provides funds for government-recognised universities and colleges. It is the body that provides recognition for universities in India. Its central office is in New Delhi, and it also has a southern regional office in Hyderabad. UGC conducts NET exams for the appointments of teachers in colleges and universities, nevertheless, some years back the NET had been exempted those having MPhil degree to teach at graduation level.

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), is the statutory body established for proper planning and co-ordinated development of the technical education system in India. It was established in November, 1945. Currently, there are 1,346 engineering colleges in India approved by the All India Council of Technical Education with a seat capacity of 4,40,000.

All the major Engineering, Pharmacy and MBA colleges are affiliated with AICTE. The prominent exceptions are B. Tech. courses from Indian Institute of Technology (IITs),BITS, Pilani.

Yes, one should always go for courses from the approved institutes and universities.

All the best
