DM

Hi,
According to the consent terms agreed between AICTE and the Association of Indian Management Schools which was submitted to the Bombay high court (HC) on Tuesday, the institutes will also have the liberty to conduct both MBA/MS and standalone PGDM institute as separate entities from the same premises. The consent terms have come after the HC on Wednesday sought an explanation from AICTE after the University of Mumbai (MU) said AICTEs new Admission Process Handbook (APH) which made it mandatory to conduct postgraduate Diploma in management (PGDM) as a standalone course was not feasible at least this year. AICTE on February 14, 2020 issued new APH prohibiting institutions from conducting MBA and PGDM courses from the same institution and asked institutions to either convert PGDM course into MBA or convert MBA course into PGDM or start a new institution for conducting PGDM course.
