Asson. Of Mgmt. Of Private Colleges vs All India Council For Tech.Edu.& Anr

The Supreme Court held that the All India Council for Technical Education Act, 1987, mandates that affiliated colleges must obtain approval from AICTE for MCA courses, despite the University not requiring such permission. The Court found that the High Court's interpretation was incorrect, affirming that the AICTE's regulations apply to these colleges as per the provisions of the Act. The judgment clarified the applicability of AICTE regulations, particularly in light of the amendments made in 2000, and upheld the necessity for compliance by the colleges.
