Hi Sudipto, LPU is not AICTE approved because it does not need the approval. LPU is an independent UGC recognised university. AICTE approval is not required for a university to run a course in technical education as has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its judgment CWP2056 of 1999 titled Bharathidasan University & ANR.
