In exercise of powers conferred
under sub-section (1) of section 23 read with section 10(i) (k) and (o) of the
All India council for Technical Education Act, 1987 (52 of 1987), the Council
hereby makes the following regulations for providing nomenclature of courses
and guidelines for admission of students to professional colleges, namely:- 1.1 These Regulations may be
called the All India Council for Technical Education nomenclature
of Courses and admission of students to Technical (Institutions) Regulations,
2016. 1.2 They shall apply to technical
institutions conducting technical education and such other programs
and areas as notified by the Council from time to time. 1.3 They shall come into force
with effect from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette. 2.1 It has been brought to the
notice of AICTE that since the 5 years Dual Degree program in Management
with nomenclature of BM/BAM/MAM introduced by AICTE does not confirm to the
nomenclature and criteria prescribed by University Grants Commission, the
Council has decided that the 5 year dual degree courses i.e. BM/BAM/MAM with
multi point exit after 3 years, 4 years and 5 years respectively be discontinued
with immediate effect and no new approval be granted and no extension of
approval for the existing courses with the nomenclatures of BM/BAM/MAM be
issued from the Academic Year 2016-17 onwards. 2.2 The BM/BAM/MAM course with
multi point exit after 3 years, 4 years and 5 years respectively
be phased out and no fresh admissions should be permitted from the academic year
2016-17. 2.3 To safeguard the interests of
the existing students already admitted to the BM/BAM/MAM dual
degree programs approved by the Council in 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16,
the following procedure be followed; 2.3.1 The students, who have been
admitted to BM/BAM/MAM dual degree course and completed three years should be
given degree of BBA instead of BM, since BBA is listed as a recognized degree
as per UGC Notification. 2.3.2 The Students, who have
completed four years should not be given degree of BAM, since no such degree
with 4 years of duration is available in the approved list of UGC. Instead,
such students should be asked to complete one more year to get MBA integrated
degree after completion of 5 years. 2.3.3 All affiliating Universities
and Institutions shall adopt above changes in their rules and regulations and
implement the same. If any question arises as to the
interpretation of these Regulations, the same shall be decided by the Council.
The Council shall have the power to issue clarification to remove any doubt
which may arise in regard to implementation of these Regulations. ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL
