The All India Council for Technical Education (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 formulates policies, grants approval for new institutions, and ensures that existing ones meet educational standards. AICTE also plays a crucial role in developing curricula, promoting research, and enhancing faculty quality. It works closely with various stakeholders, including educational institutions, industry, and government bodies, to ensure that technical education aligns with the needs of the economy and society.
