Bollocks To AICTE
In February this year, AICTE published this notice in all the major daily publications stating that it is mandatory for all colleges/universities/institutes to get affiliated to the council and they must apply for accredition by March 07, 2006 failing which legal action will be taken against the institute.
Refer to this article in today's Indian Express. DA-IICT is a University under an act passed by the Gujarat Legislature and is recognised by the UGC.
AICTE, in a similar incident took Bharthidasan University to court 5 years ago. The Supreme Court ruled that it is not obligatory for a university, created under an Act of a competent legislature, to seek and secure prior approval of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to start a department for imparting a course or programme in technical education or a technical institution as an adjunct to the university itself to conduct technical courses of its choice and selection.
Going by this ruling, the above incident must be viewed as a contempt of court.
Oh and by the way, none of the IITs is approved by the Council.

(This includes DA-IICT as one of the Universities approved.)
2. Link to the UGC letter from DA-IICT website :

3. http://164.100.24.208/ls/committeeR/Estimates/19.pdf - Report of Estimates
Committee : 19th report of MHRD - dealing with AICTE
Here on page 80, it is stated :
Relationship between Universities and AICTE
=================================
Till recently, under the regulations notified by AICTE, Universities were also required to obtain approval of AICTE to run technical courses. However, the Supreme Court in its judgement dated 29.9.2001 in the case of “Bharatidasan University Vs. AICTE” has ruled that Universities have the freedom to offer courses in technical education and prior approval of AICTE is not necessary.
