Dear Kalyan,

As per the law, Universities do not require AICTE approval for conducting Technical Programs. Only technical institutions which are affiliated with Universities require approval. As ICFAI University, Dehradun is a self-financed University established under Dehradun State Act, it does not require AICTE approval. This standing of law was notified in the Supreme Court Judgment dated 24th September 2001.

Hope it was helpful.
