Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) must comply with the High Court's directive to grant affiliation to new courses approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) without requiring additional approval from the State Government. The court emphasized that this requirement contradicted previous judgments, specifically referencing Jaya Gokul Education Trust v Commissioner & Secretary. The decision allows institutions to proceed with admissions for the 2021-22 academic year as per AICTE's approval.
