The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) is an organization that represents universities across India. Established in 1925, its primary aim is to promote higher education and facilitate collaboration among universities. AIU provides a platform for sharing information, resources, and best practices to enhance the quality of education in the country. AIU also plays a crucial role in the recognition of degrees and diplomas awarded by various institutions. It works closely with the University Grants Commission (UGC) and other educational bodies to ensure that standards are maintained in higher education. Through its initiatives, AIU supports the growth and development of the Indian higher education system.
