[MTC Global] Delhi high court scraps AICTE’s MBA entrance test

New Delhi: The Delhi high court has questioned the right of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to conduct entrance examinations for admission to business schools, and quashed the one conducted in September in a move that raises questions about the relevance of the body although it does put the few hundred thousand students who take the exam, and the few hundred schools that use the scores, in a spot.
Cancelling the council's notification for the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT), a division bench of the Delhi high court headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana said AICTE did not have the authority to regulate MBA courses. The court said on Tuesday that MBA courses didn't fall under "technical education" as defined in the AICTE Act.
"It is clear from the Supreme Court findings that AICTE has no role to play either in admission process or in subsequent monitoring of such (MBA) courses," the Delhi high court observed in its order. The order was given on 7 October but was made public on Tuesday.
