AICTE Issues Revised Schedule For 2024-25 Academic Calender
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has issued a revised schedule for its 2024-25 academic calendar on its website. The notification on the website said that the deadline for first-year admission to technical institutions has been extended to October 23.
The decision came after the Supreme Court’s order to allow the extension of the admission deadline for technical institutions to October 23, 2024. Earlier, the admission deadline was September 15. However, the extension is not valid for standalone institutions offering Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and Post Graduate Certificate in Management (PGCM) programs. Such institutions are required to adhere to their original admission timeframes.
