Beware of Fake MBA Degrees : AICTE Warns Students and Stakeholders
A strong warning has been issued by the All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) regarding deceptive 10-day MBA programs promoted by influencers and motivational speakers.
The advisory underscores the legitimacy of two-year postgraduate degrees and urges stakeholders to exercise vigilance.
Warning against “UNAPPROVED 10-DAY MBA COURSES” AICTE, in its notification, highlighted the prevalence of unscrupulous practices where motivational speakers and influencers claim to offer 10-day MBA crash courses.
Quoting a Supreme Court judgment, the AICTE stressed that no institution or university can conduct technical courses, including MBA or Management courses leading to a postgraduate degree, without obtaining approval from AICTE.
This regulatory oversight ensures the quality and authenticity of educational programs.
“This is to inform all stakeholders that such a crash course is an attempt to misguide the young minds of the country. As per the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement, no Institution/University can run technical courses including MBA/Management courses (leading to Post Graduate degree) without taking approval from AICTE,” the notification stated.
The notification reinforced the nature of an MBA as a comprehensive two-year post-graduate degree meticulously designed to impart advanced skills and knowledge in diverse aspects of Business and Management.
