After SC order, PGDM
institutions seek AICTE clarification on oversight
Does the
AICTE have regulatory oversight over management education in the country
following the latest Supreme Court verdict on this matter? Seeking clarity on
this issue, a delegation of the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM)
institutions under the aegis of Education Promotion Society of India (EPSI) has
knocked the doors of the All India Council for Technical Education.
It may be
recalled that the apex court had in July held that management education cannot
be considered as part of technical education as defined in the AICTE Act.
“The purpose
of this delegation was appraising the AICTE about apprehensions and concerns of
PGDM institutions arising due to a recent verdict of the Supreme Court which
says that MBA education is not part of technical education,” said a EPSI
statement.
The
statement further added that some are using social media to say that now
management education will be out of AICTE regulatory oversight.
The
directors, deans and chairmen of PGDM requested the AICTE to take suitable legal
actions to clear this confusion and to restore the fifty years old regulatory
supervision and control of the AICTE
on management education.
