Hello Aspirant

One the main difference between AICTE and UGC is

AICTE deals with technical university(Engineering and medical) while UGC overlooks other university(B.A,BCOM)

Whereas UGC is the apex and approves universities in the country.UGC provides fund for affiliated college and university

Whereas

AICTE is only a statutory body,that deals with planning and development of various technical education within a country.AS know all engineering and medical college are AICTE approved.

AICTE was established in 1945 while UGC was established in 1956

As both of them are looking over education in India it would be quite tough to differentiate which is good and which is not.

Regards!
