The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has revised the academic calendar for the next year (2020-2021) and has requested its affiliated institutes to follow it.
The councelling first round and admission to allotted seats in AICTE affiliated institutions will be done in October first week. AICTE revised its academic schedule twice in three days. However, the second time was after UGC changed the academic calendar and told universities to conduct final year exams.
AICTE has also asked its institutions to postpone the classes if they have already started it. AICTE has asked to hold special classes for those students who are left to take the final year exam.
“All the AICTE approved institutions/ universities are requested to follow UGC revised guidelines on exams issued on July 6 because of Covid-19 pandemic,” the technical education regulator has said.
