The development comes after a Supreme Court of India order dated January 16, 2014, that stated that AICTE will be regulating the PGDM institutions for the year 2014-15. Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI) had filed an interim application in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India requesting it to direct AICTE to take necessary steps to initiate the process of granting extension of approval for the year 2014-15 in compliance of the order dated 28/08/2013 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. 

Our readers will remember that in the back drop of the UGC’s announcement of a new “draft guidelines” to regulate thousands of technical colleges including engineering and management schools , on December 28, 2013, EPSI, with support from MBAUniverse.com, organized a National Meet in New Delhi, which was attended by nearly 100 Chairmen, Directors & Deans from leading B-schools. Based on the discussions in the meeting EPSI had written a letter to Union HRD Minister Pallam Raju on December 31, 2013 asking his ministry’s intervention on this matter.
