additional courses/increase in intake. There has been no
irregularity or violation of norms in the grant of approval for
the above purposes. No institute has been granted any
concession and approvals have been accorded on fulfilment of

constituted by the AICTE to review the cases where approvals
were not granted and to suggest improvement in the approval
process.
