Where these numbers come from

Every figure on this page is a sum over AICTE’s own approved-course register for 2024-2025 — one row per programme AICTE approved at one institution. Nothing is estimated, weighted or scored.

Example of the exact response a row was read from: https://facilities.aicte-india.org/dashboard/pages/php/approvedcourse.php?method=fetchdata&aicteid=1-43669208251&year=2024-2025

AICTE regulates technical education. Medicine, law and general degree courses are approved by other bodies and are not counted here. CompetitionBazaar is not affiliated with AICTE.
