Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of approval for additional engineering courses by the AICTE under the AICTE Act, 1987. The Court held that the AICTE's decision to withdraw approval for the Information Technology course due to lack of infrastructure was justified, emphasizing the necessity for compliance with regulatory norms. The Court upheld the AICTE's authority to regulate technical education and affirmed the High Court's interim stay on the deletion of seats in the IT course pending further examination of the case.
