Hello Shaik

Here I have explained in detail what is difference between UGC and AICTE.

• UGC is an apex body that accredits Universities in the country. UGC provide funds for affiliated universities and Colleges. UGC conducts many exams, one of them is NET, for appointing teachers in colleges.
• The AICTE is only a statutory body, which deals with coordinated expansion and proper planning of the technical education system in the country. All the Engineering Colleges, Pharmacy and MBA Colleges are affiliated with the All India Council for Technical Education. Also, the technical institutions are viewed by the AICTE.
• When talking about the function according to the Act University Grants Commission,  says that the first function is to look into the financial needs of universities. Next, it designates and dispenses grants to these universities.
• On the other hand, the AICTE Act gives preference to undertaking surveys in various fields of technical education at all levels. Another difference is that the UGC is free to do whatever it likes, but AICTE is not free from the intervention of the Human Resources Development Ministry.
• One of the main differences between AICTE and UGC is that  technical institutions are viewed by the AICTE, and the other universities and colleges fall under the UGC.
• UGC recommends universities in the country. It provides funds for affiliated Universities and Colleges. The AICTE is only a statutory body, which deals with organized development and proper planning of the technical education system in the country. AICTE recognizes engineering colleges, on the other hand, UGC approves B.Com . BA, B.sc etc.
• UGC provides approval for institutions in general and AICTE provides approval for only those institutions that offer engineering and management courses. But approval from both bodies is essential to have a valid degree/certifications.
• UGC is an apex body of higher education that administrates the entire higher education body in general but AICTE is a specific body that governs all the institutions that offer technical and managerial Courses.

Thank you

Hi! Hope you are doing great!

AICTE - All India Council for Technical Education's the satutory body and national level council for technical education in India. It strives to maintain the technical education in the country. All technical universities, including Engineering, MBA, and Pharmacy Colleges/Universities, need to be approved by AICTE to get their degrees validated in India.

UGC -  The apex body, that approves all the other universities, art colleges for example.

Hope this helps you!
