Is ICFAI affiliated to UGC or DEC ?

[manoj.pachouri]

Dear friends

ICFAI is recognized by UGC under section 2 (f) of UGC Act, 1956. It is recongnized by DEC (Distance Education Counsil) also.

You can verify this fact yourself by seeing the attached scanned copy of UGC letter ugc.gif.

For DEC affiliation also, you can check by clicking "ODL Universities, Institutes Approved by DEC" link at http://www.dec.ac.in

Hi,

Thanks for your timely information. But I was surprised why ICFAI has not got the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) recognition. Any reason for that. Please share with us.

Dear Uday

ICFAI is well recognised brand in India as well as abroad. It has opened its own study centres in Australia and Dubai. ICFAI is properly recognised by UGC and DEC and can offer MBA degrees (not PGDBA diplomas).

My personal view is that if we have 10 regulatory bodies in India like UGC, DEC, AICTE and if some institute is affiliated to most of them then we should not always look at negative aspect only. Even IIMs & IITs are not affiliated to AICTE because of so many bureaucratic procedures that one has to go to change the syllabus etc. Moreover, ICFAI did not have UGC as well as DEC affiliations 3 years back but now to satisfy the demand of students they are in process of getting most of the recognitions. May be after some time ICFAI can have AICTE approval as well.
