ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION
NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 8th September, 2016
All India Council for Technical Education (Nomenclature of courses and admission to
Technical institution) Regulation, 2016.
F. No. P&AP/MAM/2016.—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. Short Title, Application and Commencement:
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. Back ground:
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 exit¹Hkkx IIIµ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 3
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.
3. Interpretation
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.
Prof. ALOK PRAKASH MITTAL, Member Secy.
