Answer given by the minister


MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI M.A.A. FATMI)

(a) to (e): According to AICTE and UGC, some private agencies appear to have engaged in conducting ratings of management institutions. These ratings are neither official nor recognized by any government agency or statutory body like UGC, AICTB and NAAC. The National Board of Accreditation of the AICTE has an elaborate system of evaluation of programmes and the AICTE periodically publishes the list of approved and accredited management institutions on their website. The stakeholders are expected to refer them before deciding to join such institution.
