IIPM now moves HC against AICTE
New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) has now moved the Delhi High Court (HC) against the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for issuing it a closure notice.
On June 20, 2008, AICTE issued a notice to IIPM asking it to shut down as the management courses offered by it were not approved by the Council.
It said that the institute was offering management course in collaboration with foreign management universities without the approval of the AICTE.
The institute has filed a petition before Justice G.S. Sistani challenging AICTE's notice.
Justice Sistani issued a notice to the AICTE seeking a response to the petition by July 22, 2008, which is also the next date of hearing.
The institute has alleged that the AICTE has issued the notice with an 'ulterior motive'.
IIPM had earlier approached the Delhi High Court challenging the University Grants Commission's (UGC) decision to classify it as an unrecognized university.
The IIPM had then agreed to make it clear in its advertisements that the institute offers only certificate courses.
The institute also clarified to the High Court that its courses were aimed at making students eligible for degree courses like MBA and BBA provided under the International Management Institute (IMI), Belgium.
