  • Dear Ulfat, the honorable Supreme Court has ruled in the famous Bharathidasan University versus AICTE case that it is not obligatory for a university, created under an Act of a competent legislature, to seek and secure prior approval of 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. What it means is that the AICTE Act, 1987 is applicable only to 'technical institutions' and universities are not ' technical institutions', excluding

    No, your B.Tech degree have the same value as the other university or colleges have. LPU is one of the best universities for pursuing engineering. For running a university one needs UGC's approval, which they already have. It won't create any difficulty in getting jobs. Your skill set, knowledge, communication are the factors which actually matters. For the placement, they provide the best platform for learning. They train you in acquiring soft skills, technical skills, and They provide you personality enhancement classes and industrial exposure to make you prepared as per current industrial trends.

    Dear students,
    For your information, firstly I would like to say that the universities must be approved from UGC, approval of AICTE is not mandatory.
    When you will study B.Tech in LPU which is approved by UGC, then even if your course is not approved by AICTE it will not have any problem, the value would be same. Approval of AICTE is not compulsory for the universities it is just some universities try to get this approval unnecessarily for adding feather in their cap. But LPU has already so many feathers in the cap. It is the colleges which require compulsory AICTE approval, so if you are directly studying at the university (LPU) you d

    Depends for what your value concerns. If there is no value in front of companies for an UGC approved universities, there is around every single day a new company visited our campus. LPU's degree is acceptable throughout the world, and in present scenario, it hardly matters, whether it's AICTE or UGC approved, though being approved by both is highly appreciated, but being approved by one is itself a enough authentication.

    Hi, Lovely Professional University is approved by the UGC (University Grants Commission), so it does not need AICTE approval. So, there will be no effect on your degree. Moreover, your degree is valid abroad also. Thanks.

    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. And B.Tech. Degree from LPU will be valuable as that of other colleges/universities. I hope it helps you!
    Thank You!
