Pros and Cons of Non-AICTE Approved MBA Courses

AICTE or All India Council for Technical Education is a central body that works along with the University Grants Commission, or the UGC, which approves various technical courses that are offered by different colleges and universities. The AICTE covers programmes of technical education such a Technology, Architecture, Applied Arts and Craft, training and research in Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, etc. most colleges that offer MBA courses are usually approved by both AICTE and UGC.

IMPORTANCE OF AICTE APPROVAL

The most important benefit of being a student of an AICTE approved course is that it helps in further studies in India as well as betters the candidate’s job opportunity within and outside the country. Being a student of an AICTE approved MBA programme helps the student get a better opportunity for a government job in the public sector in India. Most jobs in India for people with an MBA degree require the course to be approved by a recognised body. Therefore, an MBA course that is approved by AICTE provides for better job opportunities for students in both the public and the private sector in India.

IS AN AICTE APPROVAL MANDATORY FOR MBA COURSES?

As per the judgement of the Supreme Court of India in April, 2013, an AICTE approval is not a requisite for any college or university to provide an MBA course to its students. The Supreme Court considers the UGC as the only body whose approval is necessary for any college to offer MBA courses to its students. These colleges that do not have an AICTE affiliation are only required to be affiliated and approved by a university.

Although colleges that do not have an AICTE approval are operable in India as long as they have an affiliation to a university and are approved by the UGC, they do not come without their own pros and cons. Unfortunately, the cons far outweigh the pros in case of non-AICTE approved MBA courses. In this article, we have listed down the various pros and cons there are to studying in an MBA programme that is not approved by the AICTE.
