Education and Career Forum

Hello,

UGC and AICTE are two apex organisations that cater for the higher studies in India.


The major difference is that AICTE looks after the technical education.
UGC is the apex body that approves universities in the country. UGC provide funds for affiliated universities and colleges. The UGC also conducts exams, known as NET.

The AICTE is only a statutory body, which deals with co-ordinated development and proper planning of the technical education system in the country. All the Engineering, MBA and Pharmacy colleges are affiliated with the All India Council for Technical Education
