The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is a national-level council in India responsible for the planning and coordination of technical education. Established in 1945, it aims to promote quality education in engineering, management, and other technical fields. The council sets standards for institutions, grants approval for new programs, and ensures that educational institutions meet specific criteria. AICTE also plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall quality of technical education by providing funding, conducting research, and facilitating faculty development. It collaborates with various stakeholders, including educational institutions, industry, and government, to improve the technical education landscape in India.
