LPU is a UGC approved university doesn't need AICTE approval. LPU has already obtained the approvals required for certain professional courses from the concerned Councils which regulate the courses in a certain discipline such as Agriculture, Pharmacy, Law, Architecture, Education, Distance Learning, etc. -
Hi, Lovely Professional University is approved by the UGC (University Grants Commission), so it does not need AICTE approval. According to the 2018 guidelines of the Supreme Court, AICTE approval is compulsory for all deemed universities and other institutes providing courses in technical education. When you study at a deemed university or at a campus (not at its affiliated colleges) approved by UGC, then even if your course is not approved by AICTE, there will be no problems. Therefore, the LPU does not require AICTE approval. Thanks.

Dear student,
As per the Supreme Court ruling in the famous Bharathidasan University versus AICTE case it is not obligatory for a university, created under an Act of a competent legislature, to seek and secure prior approval of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to start a department for imparting a course or programme in technical education or a technical institution as an adjunct to the university itself to conduct technical courses of its choice and selection.

Hi,
LPU does not require AICTE approval. Lovely Professional University is a university in itself and it is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC), a statutory body of the Government of India. 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. V/S ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION & ORS, and various other cases.
I hope it helps you!
Thank you! -

Hello! Being an alumni of LPU, I would like to bring into your notice that LPU does not require an AICTE approval since it is already approved by UGC, a statutory body of the Government of India. This is because universities do not require AICTE approval compulsorily. AICTE approval is not required for a university to run a course in technical education as it has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its judgment CWP2056 of 1999 titled BHARATHIDASAN UNIVERSITY & ANR. V/S ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION & ORS, and various other cases UGC approved is better as it will be internationally recognised.
