Is AICTE affiliation needed for an engineering college that is already affiliated to some other university which is UGC approved?

You misunderstood it, UGC and AICTE are two apex organisations that cater for the higher studies in India. One of the main differences between University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is that the later one basically deals with technical education. When talking of UGC, it is the apex body that approves universities in the country. UGC provides funds for affiliated universities and colleges. UGC also conducts exams, known as NET for appointing teachers in colleges. The AICTE is only a statutory body, which deals with co-ordinated development and proper planning of the technical education system in the country. All the engineering, MBA and pharmacy colleges are affiliated to the All India Council for Technical Education. I hope this may help you.
