The All India Council for Technical Education, or AICTE, is a national-level council in India responsible for coordinating and overseeing technical education. Established in 1945, it aims to promote quality education in engineering, management, and other technical fields. AICTE sets standards for institutions, grants approval for new programs, and ensures that educational institutions meet specific criteria. AICTE also plays a crucial role in developing policies and guidelines for technical education in India. It conducts accreditation processes, supports research and innovation, and facilitates the growth of technical institutions. By doing so, AICTE helps enhance the overall quality of technical education in the country.
